Nothing beats the original military sentimental value.
But I give you thumbs up for the First Blood (Rambo) theme used in your video.
The jacket shown in the video is definitely a Chinese-produced garment. There is a small "Alpha" identifier tag on the far left outside hem of the left breast pocket on those Alpha M-65's that are produced in China. I have one of those, and two of the older American Alpha jackets, and that is the most discernible difference between the two. There are others, such as the inside neck tag indicating place of manufacture, and while the older one's are clear that they're made in the USA, the newer ones kind of "skirt" the issue, and don't print something like "Made in China", et. al. That being said, both iterations of this jacket are good to excellent, and I would say that the newer fabric is a bit "crisper", perhaps due to a higher nylon ratio than the originals, which feel a bit softer. Anyway, I wouldn't shy away from purchasing anything Alpha in this regard; however, do watch out for "Slim Fit" and other versions of the field jacket, as they stray a great deal from the genuine article in favor of fashion, trend, and cheaper materials.
i'm not sure that you are correct about them "skirting the issue", as i recently bought one and it has a made in China tag on it, there are 2 labels below the white label; one has alpha industries on it, and the smaller one next to it says made in China.
as for the material, the newer jackets outer shell is 50 % nylon 50 % cotton, and the lining is 65 % polyester 35 % cotton, i believe the outer shell is the same % nylon and cotton as the original, but i'm not sure about the lining.
the reason the older jackets are softer is probably due to age and being worn, the new jackets should start feeling like that the more they are worn.
Yeah, you're right; the newer ones like the model featured in the video do have more identifiers such as the "Alpha" brand insignia, and are up front regarding the country of manufacture. My Chinese jacket must be a bit older (it's at least ten years old by now, and maybe more). Good luck with your new purchase - it should wear well.@@Murtagh653
@@hiwayman981 thank you. i hope you continue to enjoy yours, too.
I've bought the "made in china" M65 alpha for less than 1/4 of the original price, pre-worn, black. For that, it's totally fine. Have also the green original one, made in usa, no alpha "fashion" tags, of course.
Had one in high school (Class of 1976). That jacket was the most faithful friend I had. I dearly wish I could get another in my size and same quality. Alas . . .
nice but your camera is so confused it's showing 100 shades of green
Because of two sources of the light, room light and the sun light from the window. The picture in the video is almost showing the true color.
"it's not a made in china alpha, its a genuine US product, i was lucky to find it in one of the old stores in Dubai." Bro, i am sorry to say, this is *not*, i repeat *not* being made into the USA, but only the *fabric* was/is being made there. It was being sewn into China, i own exactly the same. Look carefully inside your M65 - it says on the Alpha Patch "fabric made n usa". The military standard issue *never* came with that Alpha shit, means brand patches and such. No hard feelings. Besides, still a cool M65. I like mine. 🙂

Assalamualaikum. hallo Farhad Afrooz, Your shown jacket looks good. Congratulations. I own 4pcs M-65 jacket, all of them are military issue. 3of them are vintage vietnam era. By looking your video, I think I want to buy this "civil issue" jacket
Oh my gosh, it’s very nice .
yo i have an original one from vietnam and its beat up
its my grandpas
original scovill brand zippers and everything
i took the liner out several years ago when i first got it out of the closet so i think thats in really good shape compared to the basic outer and also the hood btw
i wonder if its worth anything??
decent amount of rips
used it alot when i used to play backyard paintball like 7 years ago
Now made in China
So is Apple IPhone & MacBook and they are still the best on the market.
Before you make a statement you should understand that there's no difference in quality because the machines, material are all original.
I've had AI flight jackets for the past 40 years and have a bunch of new ones and there's no difference in quality.
The production of many high end brands was moved to Chins in order to cut production costs.
@@sasha5320 China made = garbage using slave labor to produce garbage not to mention it takes away work from the U.S.
F china !
@@sasha5320Sry to burst your bubble but there is a different in quality
i like this war jacket....amazing
The fabric was mate stateside and that is as far as it goes. Alpha ceased production in the states during the 90s and moved it to the far east. The jacket seen here is sewn either in South Korea or in China.
They are not made in usa??shit
@@rustyjocsen5260 *If* it says (like the exact example here into the video) "Fabric made n USA", it does mean, the 50/50 nycon is being made into the US, but the jacket itself was being sewn into China...still, good stuff, but nothing completely made in the US, with the scovill zipper....i could have bought a 100% genuine alpha M65 from the nam era for 100 EUR...i refused...and 10-12 days later it was being sold.
The obsession with Alpha Industries is a little unclear to me. After all, this company is only one of many that produced M-65 jackets for the army. And subsequently, having fabric, accessories and patterns available, it began to produce commercial M-65 jackets, which were completely identical to army contracts... But this was until the mid-90s of the last century, before moving production to China. Your jacket is already sewn from analogue fabric (of worse quality) and using different accessories (the original is a Scovill zipper and DOT buttons), moreover, the sewing patterns differ from the original. I am writing to you this as a long-time admirer of M-65 jackets, who has 8 military M-65 jackets and 2 early commercial (correct) ones from Alpha Industries in his wardrobe. I also bought a jacket like yours at one time, but quickly parted with it due to the fact that it did not meet expectations...) ... Sorry for the clumsy translation from Google. Greetings from Moscow.
P.S. I hope I'm not violating the youtube rules by providing links to third-party commercial resources. Here is an example of a properly commercial jacket before production moved to China. This jacket is made entirely from original materials and accessories, according to the correct patterns... And is no different from jackets issued under army contracts (except for labels, of course)

Could you please tell me the model name? Can you give me the product code? Thank you very much.
ive been looking for a US made alpha m-65 for YEARS!!! i had one in 2003 and lost it and not knowing ordered from alpha and it was made in china and the quality was CRAP!!! one sleeve longer then the other and it just didnt have the look and feel of an original alpha made in the USA.
Try a Helikon-Tex m65 , There a Polish military manufacturer ,made in china too ( Like everything else nowdays ) but made under license with 100 % identical military specs !
@@motorrebell thank you!
where in Dubai i lived there for 14 years never seen one
Do You have an instagram account? So i can tag u the shop.
It’s located in Diera, Alras, old market
@@kanevtc thank u bud i left there almost 5 years ago i was torn cause all the alpha stuff are made in china now
@@kanevtc you're talking about Al sayad?the one facing city center ?
@@botti64 no bro not Sayad

I have to say that i do have this Alpha into XS, the G.I. version into OG-107, and the black one. What's crazy is, that the friggin Zipper is onto the wrong side, really! That drives me crazy. The Helikon is as close as a replica could get, to the original M65. Just ordered the M65 Covert Jacket from Helikon-Tex, because it's more suitable for the Office. And the Alpha doesn't fit that great. Yes, XS does work (172cm, 65kg) but i can't stick a liner underneath...too tight already at the chest, and no space for a liner. Into others (Military original versions) I just have Size S, Short. This works perfectly for myself. Also with Liner. The arms are too wide into the Alpha Industries M65.
Congrats! Your new jacket is made in China just like most of them are nowadays.
@@swashington942 FYI - you do know absolut *nothing* about Alpha Industries! My M65 standard issues are made into the US, and from the "fashion" item(s), the fabric is "Made into the USA". FYI - i have 8 M65 Jackets, and collecting them over 25 years.
How do you find the XS size fitting ?
What size do you recommend for a 40in chest size... looking at a slim fit jacket..
I’m 170cm, 70 kg XS is a perfect fit for me.
If u wanna slim fit go for there new release called MOD M65, check alpha Industries site

I bought the mod , honestly your better off getting the heritage.
@@kanevtc Well, this whole M65 field jacket thing has grown over time, I have two "made in china" Brandit M65s (black), one Helikon-Tex M65 (black), two Alpha Industries M65s (both black, one with embroidery on the front, sleeve and back patch) and an Alpha M65 in OG-107 olive/green, military version, "non fashion". Plus a Surplus Raw Vintage M65 in this shade of brown.
@@marcp.1752 Wich one is your favorite ? I have an original USA ARMY - MADE IN USA Alpha from the 80s ( scoville Zipper) , & just ordered a Helikon-Tex m65 , im very excited .
@@marcp.1752 Nice collection. Which one is the best quality and faithful reproduction? Ironheart does a beauty but i can't afford those high end brands like Buzz Rickson etc.
This one is new version of jackets
Original but sadly made in China, still good quality.
Too bad made in Communist China 🇨🇳 and not original! Oringinal 50percent cotton, 50percent nylon NYCO! New M-65 NOT !
I thought I saw an advertisement of an alpha industries M65 jacket and it said it was made in China! Is the alpha M65 made in the United States or China?
Some of there products are from china but the m65s are made in USA.
the genuine military surplus jackets that were made pre 90s by alpha industries when they were a military contractor were made in the USA, the new jackets, even the m65s, made by alpha industries are now made in China.
@Murtagh653 Already bought mine for I wanted better quality and American Made! Bought surplus and very happy I did! As of 08/12/23
I guess after 1997 made in china...or even before. I've seen alphas from 97 which said made in usa.
I only buy American made Alpha M65's. So if I don't buy an old new stock one online, or a good condition used one, I guess I won't ever buy one again..... I'm not purchasing an "American" icon that's made in China.... That's like an oxymoron....
Comercial pruduct, probably made in Chine. Far from old, original GI Alpha m65 field jacket...with Scovill zipers, or other manufacturers under the contract as a Cherokee, Gibraltar, So Sew, John Owbey ( with all those Scovill, Talon, Conmar, Ideal , General etc. zipers.. Golden Mfg or Atlanco are good too, army issue and far better in any aspect then those comercial Alpha m65 jacket. All those copies are junk ... Rothco, Brandit, Surplus Regiment, Sulea ind. , Mfh etc. Greatest copy of genuine m65 made by HelikonTex from Poland. They are closest to GI issue m65 field jacket in any way.
I’m not sure bro Maybe its a civilian issue not an army, the one i have comes in OG107 color like the helikon, I thought AlphaIndustries stopped making this color when they moved the production to china.
One think i can assure you is the jackets is well made and its beyond perfection.
@@kanevtc No doubt, jacket is good. I'm 60 ;) In my times there was only army issue, not a "fancy" stuff just like today ;) M51, M65 was popular , fishtail parkas ( m51&m65) .. 👍
Just bought a version fro the greek army made in greece, before 2000 model. 100% cottton. It is very nice.4 seasons jjacket
I do agree. My helikon-tex is fine. Albeit i must say, paid for the alpha "fashion" version 1/2 the price, pre-owned, vs the helikon new. For that, i can't complain. Anyway, love the black ones (got two) but the original military GI issue (not only from alpha, but at least >10 different brands, back into its heyday, you named some...) is the better product, for real.
hey bero Where to buy it?
In dubai
what's your height and weight? thanks!
Thay khoe hang kg thay gia ban toan la ly thong kg
That’s a newly produced alpha. Older ones don’t have all that cheesy branding in the interior…. Sorry bud but that jackets made a chiiiiiiiina.
The new ones are made in china???really??oh man thanks... i was thinking of buying one, but not from china!
Can’t company names that make them in America?
@@jmisfit9145all newer version started from 2000s are all made in China
How to order can u give me ttehe site
Is this the mod or heritage?
Heritage
@@kanevtc no! Helikon Tex m65 …
That one is also great, made in china, but to US original M65 specs. Thing is, one can't beat the M65. It's legendary. Think Robert de Niro into TaxiDriver, Stallone in Rambo, heck even Woody Allen was wearing one! This jacket is such iconic. And like a pair of 501 levis - never goes out of style. Whatever comes, the M65 does handle it, simple as that.@@primus6419
✌👍
i think is fake this high copy
Original bro, the supplier has stock from late 70s
Liar, just got mine and it says China!! Came from the company directly!!
U stupid read the description, i said I bought it from a store in Dubai which he have old genuine stocks from 1970’s.
It might be genuine Alpha Ind., but it's not military issue. I own 3, one is Alpha and genuine military issue. It doesn't have all the branding on the inside.
@@andrewc9790 its fake???
@@xmanlegend550 It might be genuine Alpha, but it's not "vintage" (at the earliest it's mid 90's), and it's not military issue.
@@xmanlegend550 Alpha industries used to be one of many manufacturers of this jacket. Now they're a designer brand making recreations of military clothing etc... it's hard to say if it's fake or not. If you want genuine, it's best to go to an actual military surplus brick & mortar store. If it looks brand new it's likely a fake, if it doesn't have a NSN (National Stocking Number) it's not military issue.
