Looking for a nice M-65 style jacket

[wakawakawaka]

Anyone know of any? Looking for one that fits really well too. I really like this one http://store.hypebeast.com/brands/bleudepaname/khaki-gabardine-jacket but it's kind of expensive. I would only like to spend around $100-$150ish.

Would not consider that an M-65. Looks like an unlined or lightly parka. Might be the wrong season to find something similar. Maybe try Fjallraven or look around on Yoox for Aspesi on deep discount.

for an m65 in that price range, vintage is probably your best bet.

For your price range you d have to go with H&M or Gap etc...

Barbour are great, but around $400 or so

Check out ebay for vintage M-65 field jackets. They were issued from 1965 until around 2000 (I think..maybe a bit later).

On ebay search in Collectibles: Militaria. Start in the Vietnam section and work your way up to around the year 2000. Search either M65 (M-65) or M1965 (M-1965). Sometimes, people will list the M-65 Field Jacket in the Men's Vintage Clothing section, but you won't find anywhere near as many authentic M-65's listed there.

You should certainly be able to find a an M-65 in near mint to unissued condition for less than $150. The are sized x-small, small, medium, large, etc... Additionally, the come in x-short, short, regular and long. Please, keep in mind that they area bit roomy. It could probably stick with the size you typically wear, but for a more fitted look, you may me able to go down a size. Either way, I would stick with what's normal for you, in size, as far as short, regular or long goes.
