Even without gloves, the points keep you warmer by covering the blood vessels on the top of your hands. Kinda like fingerless gloves, but not as dorky.
I really appreciate that you go into the history of every piece and provide examples of media that would've incorporated it at the time. Super cool, keep it up!
Thank you, it’s nice to know that people enjoy that part. I want to give more than just “look at these cool clothes”. I think it’s a lot more engaging that way, at least for me it is. I appreciate the comment!
@@Daniel_Verhey There is plenty of lore on this stuff out there, but it seems buried in very small corners of the internet. I'm glad you went into detail, and we all could well contribute more to the obviously elaborate tale of how these interesting pieces of (garment) equipment were developed. I can tell you are into it because you went out and got originals.
Always nice to see other young vintage military clothing enthusiasts like me. I've mostly been into field jackets like the M-43 and its successors, but lately I've been getting interested in flight and tanker jackets. A bit of trivia: the M-51 is featured in the 2017 movie Baby Driver towards the climax.
I served in the Marines from 79 to 85. We wore ERDL pattern cammies left over from Vietnam in boot camp, with a starched sateen cover, black bloused boots, web belt, white t shirt. M65 jacket was also sateen, but it was issued gear, not owned. I kept mine anyway, lol. The hood on the m65 is large enough to fit over the steel helmet. As someone mentioned, the velcro cuff extension was for the D3 black leather gloves with wool liner. Later we switched to woodland cammies. Woodland m65 came along after i got out. A movie that has the m65 is my bodyguard.
Nice collection & great vid. Most famous M-65 movie ref apart from Taxi Driver is Rambo First Blood's opening scenes. Black dyed M-65's where also worn by Delta Force for the 1980s hostage rescue mission. A few rare photos on the net show them wearing the jacket with blue denim jeans, leather boots + black wool watch caps. An iconic combo that will never die!
@@Daniel_Verhey Stocks of original M65's are virtually non-existent now outside of USA so I'm jealous you can still buy one. Got rid of my original back in the 1990's when Goretex was all the rage and I regret it! Check this out on YT if you have not come across it; "Operation Eagle Claw Original Delta Force Field Jacket and Gear"👍
nice collection i started collecting vintage military recently because i just like the big pockets and alot of designers i like take inspo from military
Great choices. You can also get A2 (USAAF) or G1 (Naval Aviator) flight jackets (fairly original patterns) from places like Aero Leather in Scotland (they have wonderful stuff like British WW II style wool sweaters, or beautiful leather boots, or Gibson and Barnes (which sells helmets and jumpsuits, oxygen hoses, and of course these great leather flight jackets, etc. to the pilot community). About the sleeve on the Army jacket - I can see I am not the only one dropping comment - the triangular pull out is for Gloves or Mittens. This can adhere to the back of your gloved hand, making a more solid protection against cold intruding into your garment up your arms. Since this is easily stowed and ready to go, I'd say this is clever. I love my Alpha Industries M65. The collar doubtlessly is like this to make access to the light hood really easy. Those Great Coats are amazing.
Hi. Great vid. I think you should try and get yourself a British Army SAS smock in DPM or MTP. Great items to own, but extremely practical too. Also, for looks, and I’m sure I don’t have to mention it, is the Swiss Alpanflage jackets. All the best. 👍🏾🇬🇧
I've been working on a collection too but since I'm from Mexico is a lil hard to find pieces, so far I've purchased a 1973 olive green m65 a 86 one too, a 1984 woodland one with matching thick field pants, a dessert cammo one from 99, an m1 bomber jacket and a pretty nice Yugoslav-Croat trench coat
4:35 You look nervous.. good reason i just saw a Gestapo in civilian attire back there you could get nabbed with that Army Infantry Division patch. LOL
I mostly wear foreign stuff-JNA M77 parka, Romanian wool trenchcoat, Bundeswehr field shirts. I used to find it cheap at Fleet Farm. Now I tend to buy online, usually from Varusteleka, because they list the original metric sizes of everything. Surplus in American media is biased American, but if you're looking for practicality or fashion, there's a whole world of surplus out there.
I’m gonna have to look these pieces up, there’s a few foreign pieces that I want like a Swedish military motorcycle jacket. I’ll definitely keep broadening the horizons!
Great video, very nice pieces of clothing,I have a couple of pieces,would like for you to come across a military leather pea coat,would love to see that,keep them coming.
It is easy to get the US/Canadian wool shirts, thick with two chest pockets. Was used in Canada up to the 80s I picked up what I thought were some M-1951 pants similar to the ones I wear, but these had a button fly and the back pocket flat hide the pocket button; do you know what era these are? Are they just early M-51s? Used to have a fishtail parka and want one again, as well as an OD M-65 and liner. PS: AVANT magazine from France has an entire issue on military clothes.
Wow I didn’t know people were into this stuff I love it I just found a dumpster full of military helmets and coats shirts jewlery photos all his Olympic gear running vtg 80s shirts a lot of cargo pants I’d like to hit you up somewhere to maybe get some info on some things I was gonna start selling some but I put this Abercrombie and fitch super safari up with the original belt tailored by glen eagles and it sold super fast for 130$ in like a hour and I don’t wanna post anymore stuff a lot of it is from the 50s he traveled all over the world and was a senior tenchnology advisor for the us government I even found his champion 96 Olympic jacket wich he competed in the triathalon I found his military photos with explosions and missles and tanks I can’t believe all this stuff was in a dumpster there was tons more but I was only in there 6 hours before the truck came I can only imagine what’s laying out in the dump yard I have a ton of confidential documents and his reports on explosions and stuff…I have a insta if you’d like to reach out hmu
Hi. New to the channel here. Very cool vintage military collection! The field jacket and the WWII greatcoat are awesome finds. I find some of these vintage military outfits to be very cool and fascinating. I think those 'all weather' trench raincoats are really cool as well. Those are still around today, but the vintage ones are probably hard to come by. Do you have one or have come across one?
Thank you and welcome! Hmmm I might’ve come across one previously but I don’t have one. In my opinion your best bet would be either eBay, surplus stores that also carries vintage, or sometimes flea markets have vendors that sell vintage military.
I like the WEP. A lot are very short. Yours is perfect. Didn’t know you could get a civvy version. I’ll look for one. Also like the Canadian battle dress jacket. They’re great in khaki denim. Nice and light and not scratchy. The German U Boat officers used to steal them off the British and wear em. They’d take them from soldiers from the N African and Italian campaigns. Just a bit of a FYI. They all look good on. Thanks nice selection.
Thank you! And damn that’s really interesting regarding the Canadian battle dress jacket. I didn’t know they were getting snatched. I’ll keep an eye out for a khaki denim one now.
Hell yes!!! I’m glad I can put some people onto them. They’re awesome. So i got them at a thrift store, they’re LL Beans but they might be knock offs honestly. If you look up LL bean fleece boots on eBay you’ll be able to find them. I’m glad you liked the video!
I'm sure "We Were Soldiers" had Type 1 OG-107, Rambo also wore an M65 in First Blood. Anyway cool video, I have always liked vintage military clothing, great value if you could find them in thrift shops and surplus stores.
One of my main inspirations for style is military wear and love finding pieces in the thrifts. Thanks for watching and thanks for the heads up on the m65 and OG-107!
Been following for awhile and all your videos are great. Not sure if you've ever seen or heard of the film "Hackers" but it's one of my favs (especially for the costume design) and the designer used a bunch of military gear in interesting ways. The costume designer actually held onto a lot of the clothes and did this really cool exhibit a few years ago: ruclips.net/video/0HWf13wDJSU/видео.html
Thank you! I’ve been meaning to watch/eventually do a video on hackers for a while now. That’s so cool that he held on to a bunch of stuff and did an exhibit. I’m gonna have to watch the video 👍🏼 thank you for linking it
9:33 Great video, but please stop miscalling it a jacket. Jackets are much shorter than greatcoats, and don't give you the advantages of the latter. 🦁☀️🐝⚡🦅⚡🐝☀️🦁
The M65 got a stand-up collar to give access to the hood in it.. and as said, the sleeve’s cover extension are made to fix on (wool) gloves. Rambo 1 : Stallone wears one until the cops put him naked..M51 is also worn on some episodes by Starsky (from Starsky & Hutch) 👍🏼 nice collection but throw away the rothco 🤣 and try to catch an issued (stamps on the low inner front pressure tabs)
Lol I use to have a couple other m-65’s but the zippers were broken so I had to get rid of them. I know, I need to get a new one though. I do like the sage color of the rothco though! But I hear you 😂
woww so much detail & explaining in this video💯🔥, i only have BDU Woodland Jacket🪖 i like it when you show full outfit & how to style the jacket soo cooll🥶
Thank you!!! I try to make these videos as informational/entertaining as possible! Bdu jacket is a good one! I’m hoping to put out more of this type of content this summer
The pointed cuff with Velcro tab is for the mittens. They keep the cuff over the mittens to keep out the wind and cold.
You nailed it. The M65 is truly a clever design. Part of why I felt I really wanted to have one.
I never knew that and always wondered after having a few of them over the years. Thanks👍
the comment i was looking for

I too love vintage military clothes. Your collection is such an inspiration!
Thank you! There are so many other people with bigger and better collections than mine but I’m happy with what I have so far!
I served in the Marines from 79 to 85. We wore ERDL pattern cammies left over from Vietnam in boot camp, with a starched sateen cover, black bloused boots, web belt, white t shirt.

Thank you for watching and for the kind words!! So many others make it cooler but I try my best lmao

The details on military clothes are next level. Nothing beats it!
The M51 is so good

Thank you! I’ll have to check out A2 and G1. And yea I love all the little details that go into all the garments like the triangle pullout pieces

I do own quite a few pieces myself ;) loved your items, you look hella cute
4:35 You look nervous.. good reason i just saw a Gestapo in civilian attire back there you could get nabbed with that Army Infantry Division patch. LOL
The M51 jacket is the same one James sunderland wears from silent hill
Ooooh good eye on that one 👍🏼
Finally someone says it the right way!!! They always confuse it with the M-65....
Nice collection such u have bro... Like it so much
Thank you man!! Always trying to grow it!
Great job, Keep up the good work!!
Thank you Roxanne!!!

Jacobes Latter movie is the M 65 field jacket worn by some actors.
You can see Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia wearing the OG-107 in almost every episode
Oh damn that never clicked with me but you’re so right lol

Cool boots, what are they?
awesome video, I'm totally stealing the cold weather pants fit, shits fire
also what are your boots throughout this? they're sick AF
Hell yes!!! I’m glad I can put some people onto them. They’re awesome. So i got them at a thrift store, they’re LL Beans but they might be knock offs honestly. If you look up LL bean fleece boots on eBay you’ll be able to find them. I’m glad you liked the video!
I love your channel!
Thank you! It means a lot to hear that!
Great video! Really enjoyed it. P.s. it's MELTON wool, not molten. It's named after Melton Mowbray, the town it was made in.
I'm sure "We Were Soldiers" had Type 1 OG-107, Rambo also wore an M65 in First Blood. Anyway cool video, I have always liked vintage military clothing, great value if you could find them in thrift shops and surplus stores.

M-51內裡不是這種尼龍質材 是羊毛製，尼龍是越戰開始使用！
I believe Alec Guinness can be seen in that model of great coat in the 1960s classic military drama "tunes of glory"
cool stuff
Thanks!!
The m65 field jacket is what Rambo wore and I have one of the original ones
Oh man that’s awesome!
Check out the Style of Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver
Travis Bickle is goated!!!! Will be doing a video on him/Taxi Driver hopefully in the very near future
@@Daniel_Verhey Nice.
And maybe Ryan Gosling again... his style in Only God Forgives and Song to Song was dope too
What’s that tan vest called?
Columbia fisherman’s vest!! One of my favorites
Im not certain but im pretty sure Quint from Jaws wore an M51 jacket.
Edit: those velcro cuff things are supposed to grip onto gloves.
I’ll have to look back (maybe even do a video on jaws) and take a look at his jacket. Interesting to hear about the Velcro, I never knew that! Thanks!
What size is that parka? I'm a bigger guy with a big chest.
It’s a medium, if you know your chest measurement some websites will say the range chest it fits for each size.
@@Daniel_Verhey Thank you.
Of course!
Yesss
I hope you enjoyed it! It was definitely a fun one to make. I’m excited to make more videos like this one.
