The M-43 is the starting point for US military field jackets, such as the M-51 with a collar and front zipper, and the M-65 with a hood, stand-up collar and Velcro closure.
Field jacket = A sophisticated jacket-style design that is still field clothing, and is the only one that has buttons on the front and no zipper.
This item has been reconstructed as daily wear, retaining the characteristics of the M-43 field jacket.
We propose this jacket as a lightweight spring jacket without epaulets and lining.
