The Real McCoy’s x The Armoury 1st Pattern M-65 Field Jacket

The Real McCoy’s take inspiration from vintage Americana, going to extraordinary lengths to recreate period-accurate textiles and manufacturing methods for each garment. Each piece lives up to the historical standards and quality of their era.

The M-65 Field Jacket is iconic from it’s use on the battlefield, through pop culture and now to vintage collectors over 60 years later. It is the definitive field jacket and one of the signifying designs in menswear history. The Real McCoy’s have taken the original and examined the details down to the finest points, recreated from deadstock parts and manufactured their own cloth to be as close to the original as possible.

In a special collaboration, The Real McCoy’s help us put our own twist on the tried and true design. Based on the First Pattern M-65, we removed the velcro badge holders from the chest panel and added M-51 style cuffs. The standout change is our new original color: dark navy, a departure from the typical olive green seen on most examples.
