tigerjack5307 this jacket was made in 1985. so it was never in the Vietnam War nor did they wear jackets like this in the Vietnam War.

kenramoz @tigerjack5307 You are incorrect! The M-1965 Field Jacket (also known as M65, M-65 Field Jacket, and Coat, Cold Weather, Man's Field), eponymously named after the year it was introduced,[1] is a popular field jacket initially designed for the United States Armed Forces under the MIL-C-43455J standard, produced by Alpha Industries, the Southern Athletic Co.; the John Ownbey Co., and the Golden Mfg. Co., among others.

kenramoz @tigerjack5307 It was introduced into U.S. military service in 1965 to replace the previous M-1951 field jacket, itself an improvement on the M-1943 field jacket introduced during World War II,[2] although the M-51 continued to be issued for quite some time.

kenramoz @tigerjack5307 A slight rephrasing of my reply to you: as stated, this IS an M65, which was used heavily in Vietnam. HOWEVER, this Camo Woodland M65 pattern was issued as a variation to the GREEN colored M65 coat, in 1981.
