Austrian Anzug 75 Field Jacket, Funny Green, Surplus

When you want to appear that you mean business but also let others know you’re down to clown, look no further than this jacket. The Austrian version of the legendary US M65 Field Jacket is just as good if not better than the original. A perfect, functional coat when it gets a little chilly, and you want to be seen from miles away.

Although Austria is a fairly neutral country, its military gear has been NATO-compatible for some time. This jacket is a good example, as it is almost an exact copy of the original US M65 jacket. Not very long ago, it was still issued in Austria, at least to some extent. This is practically the same Anzug 75 jacket that we’ve been selling, except for the bright green shade.

A Traditional and practical military jacket

The Anzug 75 Field Jacket is a stout, half-length military jacket. The cut is roomy, as it should be in this kind of overgarment. The hem and waist have drawcord adjustments, and the cuffs have buttoned tabs to improve the fit and increase ventilation or protection as necessary.

The front has a sturdy metal zipper closure, a storm flap, and buttons. The collar is upright and offers good neck protection and can also be closed at the front with a hook and loop tab. A minimalistic hood is hidden inside the collar, and the shoulders have traditional epaulet tabs.

Four roomy pockets are in the front: two on the chest and two below the waist. The pocket flaps are secured with a button. This feature is also found in the fifth hidden pocket in the chest. All buttons (except the shoulder tabs) are covered against snagging when closed.

The jacket is windproof and brushed to make it silent. There is also a degree of water resistance but don't think it's a rain jacket, just some protection against the occasional shower. On the inside, you'll find a liner fabric without padding. The idea is to add layers underneath this shell jacket as required by your activity level and weather conditions.
