Email us about this product

The Army's first pattern utility shirt was standardized in 1958 and replaced the near identical utility jacket. It was made from olive green (OG-107) 8.5oz cotton sateen and boasted two patch pockets with straight cut flaps. The shirt also had an unusually low first button and no button cuffs.

Designed to be loose fitting, it was typically worn over a white T-shirt and was tucked into the utility trousers. Though the lighter and quicker drying Tropical Combat Uniform had been developed in 1962, three years prior to the introduction of U.S ground troops in Vietnam, the utility shirt and trousers were still worn by infantrymen early in the war.

Very happy

I purchased a piece of American history and now I wear it with pride. The M65 is even nicer than I expected. The order arrived on time in Italy. Now I'm thinking about the M51 and some shirts. Watch out for sizes! For example, American Large in Europe is a Medium. Greetings from Bari, Italy.

M65 Field jacket

Very pleased- arrived as advertised. Will order again
