I need a new one and there are too many options. Does anyone have a recommendation? Preferably American made.
Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.

No camo - plain olive green.
There are a few surplus stores around here, but the selection is a little too ratty.

I wish I had the one I was issued back in 1965. Of course it wouldn’t still fit................
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

Darn I have 4 of them from my days in the AF, 1968 through 1978. Still fit. Three have the chintzy liners, one has the real sheepskin liner, man is it warm! Even have a parka with the Wolf Hair hood.
Back when I was a kid growing up in Coastal Georgia the M65 was in high demand for a hunting jacket. My Uncle in the AF got a couple for me, I left them with my dad when I was drafted.

Thanks, gents. I ended up going with Propper. They have 25% off until 9/30, so an $89.99 jacket was had for $67.49 (free shipping).
