Want To Buy M65 Field Jacket...

[Glock 'em down]

This cold snap reminds me of the winter of 1979/80. We got over a foot of snow and the temps remained in the teens for well over a week. For Christmas that year, my uncle, who was a national guardsman, gave me and my three brothers an M65 field jacket in OD green.

I'm not positive, but I think this may be what sparked my love for OD green, because it was so warm and I never wanted to take it off.

Anyway, then the 80s happened and I discovered cars and girls and my taste in attire changed somewhat from military type clothing to more "cooler" threads.

But that was then, this is now, and I'm on a quest for another M65. I'm posting this thread as a WTB ad, but I doubt seriously if anybody has one in my size (4XL) and even if they did, would they wanna part with it.

So let me know who makes a good one. So far I'm leaning to either Propper or Rothco. Any other brands out there that make a decent one for around a 100 bucks?

If I had one in that size I would be wearing it. When I got mine issued to me in '89 I think my was large or maybe medium, it is upstairs in a space bag. I loved both of mine until I enlarged and couldn't wear them any more.

Same thing happened to my issue gear. But I swear it must have shrunk.

You might check with Brigadoon Surplus in Del City. They had a few OD ones the last time I was in there.
