Buzz Rickson's U.S. Army M-65 Cold Weather Parka - Olive Drab

1 / 7

Field Notes

Introduced as a lighter weight alternative to the bulky M-1951 Parka, this M-65 option is cut from an Oxford weave cotton, which boasts a supple hand, and a water repellent finish. This classic oversized garment was originally designed to be layered up, and was light enough to be easily packed down when in need.

A drawstring waist and hem have been added to this model, to enable the wearer to easily cinch in the shape for comfort and versatility. Twin snap fastened pockets at the waist add essential storage, and have been lined with wool for extra warmth, while a snap fastened wind flap comes away to reveal a period correct Crown zipper.
