1973 M-65. Not particularly all that vintage or unique, but found it in my dad's USMC duffle bag and have been enjoying wearing it and remembering him.

Got this jacket today from @cashcheck all the way from Vietnam. I think it fits pretty well! Apparently it's an Al's, perhaps the keen eyed members here can confirm. Hopefully this is the end of my CHP cross zip quest.

Hmmm i disagree , the fact that it was your dads, makes it exceptionally unique and special. treasure it forever.

Really loving the double jacket layering lately. Both jackets the leather is soft so it makes it possible.

For a second I thought it was a cross zip car coat, lol. Also, nice Amebix shirt.

That's a nice early m65 there, and the fact that it was your dads makes it that much cooler.
I've got 2 from my dad, one I wear all the time at work.

Your post brought me smiles and many memories as today i too am wearing your father’s brother M-65 issued to me in 1973 boot camp. I have two from those times that have been out of the sea bag and are worn often, still going strong these 50 years later.
I’m glad you wear it proudly as he did.
Semper Fi to you and Dad

Pretty much everyday since I received it. Its mate, the poltergeist priest, comes home Saturday from the tailor.
I love these spearpoint western wools. They are their own rabbit hole and it runs deep.

Leather jackets are a high risk, high reward badassary you can wear. It’s not easy to pull off but once we do, it’s worth it. Screw the mentality of fitting in, be unique and be thyself.

Mr Leong, I love that spirit. True spirit is something severely lacking in the world today.
Have you read through this thread?!?
I ordered a replacement snap-on mouton collar from CockpitUSA for my Bill’s Khakis/CockpitUSA G-1 jacket and it arrived just in time for the wicked Nor’easter that clobbered us here in the NYC area. The collar is super plush and warm and perfect to keep out the late winter chill.
Extra special thanks to Jacky Clyman (CockpitUSA co-owner) for personally handling my order. Great customer service!
