A modern waxed-canvas update to the classic Vietnam-era field jacket.

Reviews

Real History Baked into it- not just an insane cool factor.

"Taxi Driver, First Blood, Serpico! Are you kidding me. I saw the M-65 jacket on Bespoke and I couldn't get my $$ flowing fast enough. I wore the Jacket during the Cold War and during the desert big show era. I definitely field tested it, nothing but respect! I didn't buy it to layer, I like a nice sharp crisp fit. Having said that, I can still rock a hoody under it. Lots of compliments, such a rugged sexy look. My wife loves it. And with that Timex field watch!!! Shoots, it's money. enough."

The Details!

"This is my second waxed jacket. I love the fit (6’ 260lbs bought XL) and range of motion with a sweater underneath. The details are great. Soft brushed cotton lining and trim on cuffs, collar, even the lower pockets. Reinforced stitching behind the pocket snaps. Even a pull tab on the receiving side of the zipper. The fabric is a little stif at first and dry waxed so it hasn’t rubbed off on anything. I have only had the M-65 for a few weeks so I can’t say how durable it will be over time, but it seems like it’ll wear as well as my old issued jacket in the Air Force. The sleeves are lined with nylon so they don’t get stuck on my shirt. Which is nice if not extra warm. In all it’s a great looking piece and a good value for the price. Also my Sweetheart likes the look better than the British style I’ve had for years."

— Travis W. (5/5)

Amazing!!

"This is going to be a part of my wardrobe for a VERY long time. I’m really looking forward to relaxing it every season and witnessing it age like fine wine. This jacket is very comfortable and layers really well with a wool sweater underneath for extra warmth. Highly recommend!"

— Jose G. (5/5)

I'm wearing this jacket right

"I'm wearing this jacket right now! Ive even gotten a few compliments on it. It really is a nice, feels heavy duty, able to cut the wind, good looking jacket. This is a good fit to size as well. There have been a couple of things I've got on here that were not made up to size. But this one is the size you'd normally wear."

— Courtney W. (5/5)

Love this jacket

"Of the several jackets I have bought from bespoke, this is my go to for the worst weather. When working on the ranch w the cattle and horses, things get dirty quick. This can take anything that gets thrown at it while keeping me warm as well. Def recommend"

— Eric R. (5/5)

The jacket I knew I wanted but didn’t know I needed.

"After a trip to Europe I knew I wanted to pick up a wax jacket but didn’t know wheee to find one of high quality at a good price. This is it. Looks good, lots of compliments when I wear it and the best part, it serves purpose. It’s keeping me warm and dry in the PNW."

— Angus B. (5/5)

Fit a little odd

"This jacket almost worked. Color, material and quality were great. It was a bit wide, and when the adjustable side straps are tightened it looks gathered and gives it more of a woman's fit."

— Jessica N. (3/5)

Fly AF

"The jacket is super fly. As a veteran of the old green and black combat fatigue era, I appreciate the olive Drive throwback that gives me the same warmth and durability of an actual field jacket."
