Well it’s great to see these new pick ups. Nice 1975 model for the m65 and what a lovely transitional m51/65. Great work. The combat patch is the MACv patch and 5th army. Today arrived a first pattern m65 1965 so I was excited to have a new arrival. Keep up the collecting.
I have now 8 m65’s of the first pattern. I actually showcase them on a short here on my channel. I too am hooked on jackets and coats, but I do love vintage t’s as well. Here in Mexico City, we just have access to the bales of clothing sent from the U.S., which really makes it a cool spot to hunt for items. Love your channel and content. Saludos from Ciudad México.
Wow Derek, what a coincidence! Just this weekend i picked up an M65 also from '75 AND manufactured by Cherokee. This was in Sweden of all places, at local denim and vintage market. Without being an expert I'd say mine was pretty minty - it even had loose threads still hanging off of it. Pull tab was still there too! This is my first M65 and I'm looking forward to using it when fall comes around. It was a medium short and I'm 5'10 with a 42 chest so probably pretty much perfect sizing for me. I've tried large ones and they're too big on me and I think medium regular would be to long. It was on sale for about $100 (converted) but I haggled it down to $75. Thanks for your videos, I really like them!
@derekdoeschannel I'm curious, what does an M65 in decent versus very good condition usually go for where you're at? With them being MUCH more readily available over there than here and all that. :D
The prices really depend. They're not that common anymore like they used to be (for the 60's-70's). I think what you paid is kind of what they go for here too.
i think that's genuine M51. Buttons (regular) on the sleeve, not Velcro, "silver" zipper. Nothing strange for a classic M51 Field jacket. Great jacket, too.

thanks and awesome pick up! 67 is the earliest M65 I've found.

It is a M51, it’s just in between. Missing a few details from the 1951 models
do you have any websites you typically source your jackets from? love the video!
Thanks. I just get them as I find them.
