This is a collector's "unicorn" M65. A 1967 Dated Field Jacket (Contract DSA 100-67-C-0249) manufactured by Chief Apparel.

Features a 4th Infantry Division combat patch (Right Sleeve - Vietnam Service) and a Colorado Army National Guard unit patch (Left Sleeve). Size: Long Medium (Height 71"+, Chest 37-41").
