Fascinating. It would be wonderful if a veteran of VFC-13 were to watch this video and contribute a comment adding their personal reminiscence re: the flight jackets worn in Adversary squadrons.

Чумовая куртка... Чумовая история... Единственное, маленький вопрос ... Вы просто в ней позировали или регулярно носите ?... Ведь по идее это практически музейная вещь, тем более подразделения которое было на самом острие холодной войны и принимавшего самое активное участие в войне во Вьетнаме... Второго завоза не будет...)))... А так,.. Рукоплещу !!! Отменный обзор на чрезвычайно редкую вещь с очень интересной историей ! Огромное спасибо за данное познавательное и информативное видео !

Невероятно редкая куртка G-1 1973 года , принадлежавшая пилоту эскадрильи VFC-13 ВМФ США. Эскадрилья была малочисленной ( в момент создания насчитывала всего 17 действующих пилотов), но комплектовалась из самых лучших и высокопрофессиональных лётчиков- истребителей ВМФ США потому что отвечала за обозначение и имитацию потенциального противника, т.е. советских ВВС. Отношение к советским лётчикам у командования авиации флота было более чем серьезным, русские считались самым сильным и серьезным противником. Отсюда эмблема эскадрильи, копирующая стилистику эмблем лётного состава ВВС СССР и девиз Saint Adversary - Cвятой Противник. Пилоты эскадрильи тщательно изучали тактику ведения боя советских летчиков, самолеты повторяли окраску советских, несли советские опознавательные знаки и имитировали тактические номера, принятые в ВВС СССР. Задачей было максимально точная имитация потенциального противника в тренировочных ближних воздушных боях с пилотами авиации флота и корпуса морской пехоты США. В середине 70х эскадрилья перебазировалась в Мирамар, где служила главным оппонентом пилотов известной школы Top Gun. Флаг с надписью СССР заимствован с журнальных фото советских космонавтов и обычно использовался на космических скафандрах СССР того периода. Патч «Яхт клуб Тонкинского залива» однозначно свидетельствует о том, что владелец куртки принимал участие в войне во Вьетнаме, вероятно будучи пилотом палубного F-8 Crusader - именно эти лётчики составили костяк первого набора в VFC-13 в 1973 году и именно Крусейдеры были первыми машинами эскадрильи. Патч с котом Томасом на рукаве также относится к периоду службы во Вьетнаме. Airman.

Complimenti, sono magnifiche

Started without epaulettes and ended without epaulettes. Legendary run and timless style.

This field jacket is so well liked ,why not bring it back with the original design I believe it would be a real hit?

The mood of the music is perfect for this - sort of period sounding or something. Makes me wax nostalgic. Great job!

Очень интересные видео. Хотелось бы посмотреть видео про М 65 армии Австрии. Там тоже много различий

Hello everyone I recently purchased an M65 jacket from Alpha Industries, vintage '86. There is a DLA number and a RN 35569 number on the label. What does this number mean? Many greetings from Germany

Beautiful

I have dale fashion one. This video is porn

Very nicely explained good video don't see these so often

I like video

hard to find in Large long

where i can buy that stuff?

I have an Alpha from 1987 and a Sew-Sew Styles in OG-107 from 88. Great jackets for windy conditions.

Tengo varias d varios patrones USALAS CON RESPETO🇺🇾☠️

They all look the same. Some narrative would have been nice.

I love the M65 videos you make. Why did they discontinue the ripstop lining? After 1987 or some time in the late 80s the ripstop lining ended. Even when they did the ripstop lining not all jackets had it.

👍👏🫡

Keep up the great work. Recently I made a video about my 6 first pattern m65’s. I’m curious, do you collect the m65 parkas as well? Always enjoying your uploads. That’s for all your efforts.

I always wondered when these changes came in. Buddy of mine was in the army reserve in 83 and had been issued both an o.d. and woodland 65s. I went in in 84 and got the same issue, My first 65 was actually given to me in delayed entry. O.d. with brass zippers. I always wondered when the camo came in. We could wear the o.d. jacket up til 85 or 86? Can't remember, but I went through couple woodland 65s while in. Plus that was what everyone wanted when you came home, I made a lot of stops at the pawn shops off post in hop town to pick up friends requests. Boy there were some great finds in those places back then. Thanks again for sharing, great information. Cheers

Do you know how to make the hood laydown nicely in the back so it doesn't feel that it's pressing on your back?

Do you know why some had the ripstop lining? I have one from 1987 with the ripstop lining and one without. If I buy a 1967 M-65 with a broken zipper which replacement zipper should I get? A serval normal M-65 zipper, an ideal replacement zipper, or a modern YKK zipper? I'm only asking for your opinion because you know the most.

I have a 1982 field jacket. Recently I bought it for 53$ and honestly it’s one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s comfy it keeps you warm indefinitely. And it’s a good addition to any vintage collection. Although I would like to know more about the 0575-OG107. As mine doesn’t have the original U.S army insignia but in ink print.

👍👏🫡

Very nice jackets. I like them. I also have some, 9 og...3 Woodland...one Dessert one sand. Where could you get them received well-preserved ones?

You should put together a video of fan favorite M65s, maybe have us send you are faves that we personally own and put it together. ? Just an idea

Love my OD green field jacket, best article of military clothing ever made to date. I would love to get a hold of another 80’ s field jacket, can’t have to many!

Always the most in depth videos. Your channel inspired me to collect specifically m65 jackets. I posted a video of my 6 first pattern jackets I have found here in Mexico. My full total as of today’s arrival will be 33 m65 og107s, many before 1972. Thank you for being an inspiration. For me, I can’t say thanks enough. Keep up the great work.

Love thos patches

😊 still my favorite jacket hands down! Interesting how the shade of o.d. green is different. I remember the ripstop interiors on the o.d. and woodland. The last of the woodland 65s. There were slight changes I've noticed to the cuff's. Love your channel. Cheers

Thanks you very much !

Доброе утро вьетнам.

You are right One can never have too many leather Jackets.

the medical officer coat is the so awesome!

It seems like many of the modifications that the Delta operators made to these American jackets were in line with what some of the European armies have been using since WWII - the combat smock. Unfortunately the US no longer issues the M-65 to its soldiers, having supplanted it largely with ECWCS-type parkas. However, had the Quartermaster seen some of these jackets from "Eagle Claw", then maybe an overdue re-design might have been in order to modernize these otherwise excellent garments for more utilitarian purposes in combat, instead of spending a ton of money on the aforementioned parkas which seem to be made of materials that are not as durable as the "Ny-Co" blend of the title outerwear.

The last Defense Personnel Support Center jacket against 6174, With green label I saw on forums he says it’s civil? Is that true?

Why doesn’t the m65 Defense Personnel Support Center have DLA written on the label?

Why the label on the Defense Personnel Support Center is white and after green 🤔

Am looking M-65 Tiger Stripe John Owenbey Company Inc. is Original?

Was it Alpha Industries 1982 that was used in Rambo first blood? Thanks

That is so cool. I'd never seen a garment done up in Mitchel cam (I'm nearly 60). I always wondered why it was the basis for all helmet covers throughout the 60s and 70s (even up here in Canada. 100% until 1985. Even after that, the cool guys kept their Mitchel covers. I still used mine until we were issued new Kevlar helmets and the brand new CADPAT digital cam covers approx 1998) yet not used in making cam clothing. I'd love one of those jackets just because they are so rare and unusual.
