Nothing beats the original military sentimental value. But I give you thumbs up for the First Blood (Rambo) theme used in your video.

The jacket shown in the video is definitely a Chinese-produced garment. There is a small "Alpha" identifier tag on the far left outside hem of the left breast pocket on those Alpha M-65's that are produced in China. I have one of those, and two of the older American Alpha jackets, and that is the most discernible difference between the two. There are others, such as the inside neck tag indicating place of manufacture, and while the older one's are clear that they're made in the USA, the newer ones kind of "skirt" the issue, and don't print something like "Made in China", et. al. That being said, both iterations of this jacket are good to excellent, and I would say that the newer fabric is a bit "crisper", perhaps due to a higher nylon ratio than the originals, which feel a bit softer. Anyway, I wouldn't shy away from purchasing anything Alpha in this regard; however, do watch out for "Slim Fit" and other versions of the field jacket, as they stray a great deal from the genuine article in favor of fashion, trend, and cheaper materials.

Had one in high school (Class of 1976). That jacket was the most faithful friend I had. I dearly wish I could get another in my size and same quality. Alas . . .

nice but your camera is so confused it's showing 100 shades of green

"it's not a made in china alpha, its a genuine US product, i was lucky to find it in one of the old stores in Dubai." Bro, i am sorry to say, this is *not*, i repeat *not* being made into the USA, but only the *fabric* was/is being made there. It was being sewn into China, i own exactly the same. Look carefully inside your M65 - it says on the Alpha Patch "fabric made n usa". The military standard issue *never* came with that Alpha shit, means brand patches and such. No hard feelings. Besides, still a cool M65. I like mine. 🙂

Oh my gosh, it’s very nice .

M65lo mas grande en chaquetasmilitares y como siempre lo es y sera EEUU la mejornacion del mundo 💓💓💓💓💓

Assalamualaikum. hallo Farhad Afrooz, Your shown jacket looks good. Congratulations. I own 4pcs M-65 jacket, all of them are military issue. 3of them are vintage vietnam era. By looking your video, I think I want to buy this "civil issue" jacket

i like this war jacket....amazing

yo i have an original one from vietnam and its beat up its my grandpas original scovill brand zippers and everything i took the liner out several years ago when i first got it out of the closet so i think thats in really good shape compared to the basic outer and also the hood btw i wonder if its worth anything?? decent amount of rips used it alot when i used to play backyard paintball like 7 years ago

Now made in China

The obsession with Alpha Industries is a little unclear to me. After all, this company is only one of many that produced M-65 jackets for the army. And subsequently, having fabric, accessories and patterns available, it began to produce commercial M-65 jackets, which were completely identical to army contracts... But this was until the mid-90s of the last century, before moving production to China. Your jacket is already sewn from analogue fabric (of worse quality) and using different accessories (the original is a Scovill zipper and DOT buttons), moreover, the sewing patterns differ from the original. I am writing to you this as a long-time admirer of M-65 jackets, who has 8 military M-65 jackets and 2 early commercial (correct) ones from Alpha Industries in his wardrobe. I also bought a jacket like yours at one time, but quickly parted with it due to the fact that it did not meet expectations...) ... Sorry for the clumsy translation from Google. Greetings from Moscow. P.S. I hope I'm not violating the youtube rules by providing links to third-party commercial resources. Here is an example of a properly commercial jacket before production moved to China. This jacket is made entirely from original materials and accessories, according to the correct patterns... And is no different from jackets issued under army contracts (except for labels, of course) www.ebay.com/itm/295531859490

The fabric was mate stateside and that is as far as it goes. Alpha ceased production in the states during the 90s and moved it to the far east. The jacket seen here is sewn either in South Korea or in China.

How do you find the XS size fitting ? What size do you recommend for a 40in chest size... looking at a slim fit jacket..

ive been looking for a US made alpha m-65 for YEARS!!! i had one in 2003 and lost it and not knowing ordered from alpha and it was made in china and the quality was CRAP!!! one sleeve longer then the other and it just didnt have the look and feel of an original alpha made in the USA.

Could you please tell me the model name? Can you give me the product code? Thank you very much.

where in Dubai i lived there for 14 years never seen one

I have to say that i do have this Alpha into XS, the G.I. version into OG-107, and the black one. What's crazy is, that the friggin Zipper is onto the wrong side, really! That drives me crazy. The Helikon is as close as a replica could get, to the original M65. Just ordered the M65 Covert Jacket from Helikon-Tex, because it's more suitable for the Office. And the Alpha doesn't fit that great. Yes, XS does work (172cm, 65kg) but i can't stick a liner underneath...too tight already at the chest, and no space for a liner. Into others (Military original versions) I just have Size S, Short. This works perfectly for myself. Also with Liner. The arms are too wide into the Alpha Industries M65.

I thought I saw an advertisement of an alpha industries M65 jacket and it said it was made in China! Is the alpha M65 made in the United States or China?

This one is new version of jackets

what's your height and weight? thanks!

hey bero Where to buy it?

Original but sadly made in China, still good quality.

That’s a newly produced alpha. Older ones don’t have all that cheesy branding in the interior…. Sorry bud but that jackets made a chiiiiiiiina.

Comercial pruduct, probably made in Chine. Far from old, original GI Alpha m65 field jacket...with Scovill zipers, or other manufacturers under the contract as a Cherokee, Gibraltar, So Sew, John Owbey ( with all those Scovill, Talon, Conmar, Ideal , General etc. zipers.. Golden Mfg or Atlanco are good too, army issue and far better in any aspect then those comercial Alpha m65 jacket. All those copies are junk ... Rothco, Brandit, Surplus Regiment, Sulea ind. , Mfh etc. Greatest copy of genuine m65 made by HelikonTex from Poland. They are closest to GI issue m65 field jacket in any way.

I only buy American made Alpha M65's. So if I don't buy an old new stock one online, or a good condition used one, I guess I won't ever buy one again..... I'm not purchasing an "American" icon that's made in China.... That's like an oxymoron....

Is this the mod or heritage?
