Any of you jacket encyclopaedia guys remember who had the contract for the M-65 Jacket in 1985 - 1990?
I am desperately looking for one of those....
Thanks,

Alpha Industries had the contract for the M-65 till 1990 when the jacket was replaced by the ECWCS-Parka that was also made by Alpha.
I´m not sure if Alpha was the only contractor at that time, but Alpha was definitely one of them through the 80s.

Platon,
When I get home tonight and if you still need the info, I can check my field jackets. I still have them from my service in the Army back in 1988.

Could you post a picture of the jacket? You've got me curious.
