Almost immediately after being introduced during the Vietnam War, the M65 parka was cemented into the collective unconsciousness of the Western world. It is the military parka everyone and their mother knows. The design reigns king — like the AK47, the iPhone, and the McDonald's hamburger, some version of the M65 will be made until the end of time.
The Austrians have been making their virtually identical clone of the US M65 for some time now. Like the original, it features a heavy, tightly-woven Cotton/Poly fabric. This tight and durable weave shrugs off scratches and abrasion, holding up fine in light rain and other inclement weather.
If you want a jacket you'll have for the rest of your life on this Earth and for the next three generations of your family, this is it.

Great quality and feeling.
Honestly one of the most durable and comfortable pieces of clothing I've ever tried on. Perfect for any outdoor activities you may have where it gets a bit cold.

Taxi Driver vibes
Replaced a commercial (U.S. made) M65 style jacket with this. Thicker, higher quality, better cut & more functional. Slightly shiny material (due to polyester I guess) but shines less once broken in a bit. Fit is roomy, perfect for layering, particularly on arms. True parka length for me at 5'11"-6' ish. Had to re-sew one sleeve button, NBD. Wunderbar
