BR15945 / BUZZ RICKSON'S Type M-65 LINER “BUZZ RICKSON MFG. CO., INC.”

The M-65 field jacket came with an exclusive liner to better protect soldiers from the cold. By quilting the padded fabric, the lining was made dramatically lighter and warmer compared to previous alpaca and wool liners. It also uses wave stitch to prevent the padding from slipping. The liner has buttonholes on the neck, cuffs, and front edges to attach to the buttons on the field jacket’ s interior. While a conventional M-65 liner is designed exclusively for fly front closure jackets and thus cannot be worn by itself, this liner has a zipper and other modified specs so that it can also be worn by itself.
