Men's Vintage Military-Inspired Utility Jacket FAQs
What is an M65 field jacket?
The M65 is the US field jacket introduced in the 1960s, and it has been copied ever since. This is a men's vintage military-inspired utility jacket built on that pattern, with the four-pocket front, structured cut and clean, rugged appearance that give it the classic field-jacket aesthetic.
How does it fasten?
A zip with a button-front closure over the top, plus adjustable cuffs. The long sleeve design and roomy armhole allow comfortable movement, so it works over a knit without pulling across the back.
What fit should I order?
It runs close to the body, so take one size up for a regular fit and two sizes up for a relaxed fit. Sizes run S to 3XL in olive green.
Is it easy to layer?
Yes. It is easy to layer over a shirt or a hoodie, which is what makes this men's vintage military-inspired utility jacket work through autumn and winter as well as on milder days.
What does it go with?
Raw denim and boots for a classic Amekaji fit, cargo trousers for a full military look, or a plain tee and jeans for casual and outdoor outfits. A men's vintage military-inspired utility jacket like this one sits easily alongside classic military workwear, and the classic utility-inspired look gives that timeless vintage look without any fuss.
How should I wash it?
Machine wash cold, do not tumble dry, and air dry. The heavy cotton holds its vintage military-inspired design and its practical everyday comfort far longer if you wash it cool and rarely.
How fast is UK delivery?
Stock is held in the UK and ships domestically, so there is no waiting on an overseas order. UK delivery is free on orders over £100. If your order is delayed it will be because that size has sold out and we are replenishing it, and that will take no longer than 10 working days.
Is it heavy to wear?
No. It is built for everyday wear while holding its structure, so the cotton has real body without the bulk, remaining lightweight and comfortable over a t-shirt, sweatshirt or light knit.
