MORE INFO:
The first iteration was designed in 1941 as part of the World War II combat uniform. All field jacket designs from this point would be referred to by their year of design e.g. the M-41.
This version of the M-1965 is probably the best known version of any field jacket in history. It was produced in various fabrics for almost 40 years. It also went on to be immortalized in films such as Taxi Driver and Rocky. The silhouette when worn as designed (meaning a bit big so you can wear layers and bullets) is pretty similar to a drape cut: sloping shoulders, full chest, nipped waist via the elastic cinch, and a flared skirt. Whilst the Field Jacket was designed for the battlefield, they have been appropriated by popular & countercultural movements for decades. They have also been seen on the shoulders of celebrities such as Steve McQueen and John Lennon, making the U.S. Military ‘Field Jackets’ undoubtedly iconic.
