What version of the m65 is the best one to get? I dont want to break my account, but I want a durable and stylish one that i can turn into a battle jacket. I like my clothing oversized. And i really want a jacket thats wind and water resistant. It doesn't need to be made of only natural fibers.

If that’s your pic, your jacket sucks.

>>18638131
Also, these kinds of jackets are extremely difficult to actually make look good if you plan on turning it into an actual battle jacket. Not a half-asses random shit all over it jacket. Also battle jackets are for bands, specifically metal bands.

Get any regular denim jacket. They are thicker and keep you very well regulated no matter the temperature.

Modern leftism is so fundamentally cringe and uncool we have to keep recycling mid 70s bands to fill out a jacket, its unbearable.
A capcut hyperborea edit disintegrates 90% of anything left-of-center created after 2010.
Patched to shit jackets and steel toed boots are "punk" because thats what blue collar shmucks had. For work. You have better because you're an upper-middle class yuppie probably studying journalism or something equally useless. Stop dressing down to larp as a working joe, faggot.

>>18638214
It's not cringe or uncool, in fact it's the still the counter culture against facism, capitalism, pale j*wish elites. Fuck your Tesla.
Tell me which side is associated with incel, chuddy?

>which jacket and branded patches do i buy to look like im a working class anticonsumerism anarchist
>actually capitalists really hate it when you buy stuff
Retard the left won in the 90s. You've literally never seen a world that wasnt subsumed by pax americana leftist neoliberalism.
Your anti-establishment gegenkultur movement would have to be against the values of the current western establishment, which are as of now very much left-aligned. Our dominant cultural institutions (media, academia, NGOs) are all left wing. You're not countering anything.
You're a cringe larper, you dont have any values and your political ideology changes every 6 months based on what whatever megacorp you think is your friend tells you to think. You were pro-kike 4 years ago. You will be pro- whatever, whenever.
>which side is associated with incels
Both, retard. Political extremists are annoying disgenic freaks to be around so they dont fuck. You're on the forechan fashion board asking for cosplay advice. YOU dont fuck.

If you want a jacket, buy a jacket. If you genuinely had the mindset of an anti-capitalist anti-elite anti-whatever you wouldnt care about the jacket itself. But you don't, so you need this specific jacket with those specific patches, because you just care about the costume.

Look I have an m65, and while I like it, I have to admit that I sometimes I get weird looks from people.
You will look like a faggot in that and people will probably think you're either mentally ill or gay.

There are about a trillion different brands making M-65s and various other field jackets. My personal favourite is the C.P. Company Metropolis, but I wouldn't turn into a battle jacket.
If you want to do a battle jacket, just buy some random dogshit one from the Gap and save your money. Durability is largely a meme metric; unless you're beating the absolute shit out of it, it will be fine, as M-65s are heavy cotton or similar material.
If you want water resistance, you probably don't want a M-65... OP, by any chance, are you a teenager?
>>
>>18638131
>What version of the m65 is the best one to get
Objectively, third pattern, distinguishing features are the brass zips and the switch to nyco blend fabric which is lighter, stronger and more water resistant than the cotton sateen shell used previously, helikon tex does a 1:1 reproduction of this shell accurate to original military sizing with their own design for the liner.

That said an M-51/M-65 parka may serve you better as a battle jacket given the mod heritage and larger, less busy canvas to work with

Your posts reflect a youthful naivety thats all.
I used to like Alpha stuff. I had a NYCO ECWCS parka that was a meme here. I wore it for like 5-6 years until the exterior pockets eventually ripped at the seams, and by that time, I had so much outerwear that there wasn't a point in fixing it.
I don't see a version on their site that has a logo. Can you post a pic? It's probably fine.

>>18639133
Link to the Tricode Explorer .exe file, or a better app that generates word tripcodes?
>>
>>18639133
Here is a pic. I'll send another one in the thread. I might aswell buy a used m65 from Ebay, you know, get the real deal. And I can skip some patches but I will definitely add some. The price is still hefty, but I'll manage
>>
Here is the back logo I was talking about. Its fucking hideous
>>
>>18639197
Oh, that's ugly as shit, yeah, don't buy that. Ebay/Grailed if you're just trying to buy something cheap to try it out is a better bet. I wouldn't worry so much about milsurp or whatever. The reason I recced Gap was I had one when I was like 17 that was perfectly fine and inoffensive. Some of the milsurp stuff I find too larpy.

>>18639202
What about the shit from.the 80s and 90s? I feel like they are pretty nice

>>18639206
I mean, it's all going to be basically fine. What I'm suggesting is not to fixate on it too much. If you see a m-65 from some whatever brand that seems fine, it probably is for your purposes. If and when you get deeper into fashion, you can autistically focus on details like specific year runs, zipper pulls, manufacturers, and so on. Until then, just find something that's going to fit you nicely and learn what you like.

Okey thats good advice. What about brandit? They're cheap asf and easy to get a hold of. Are they shitty though? Im thinking about buying a giant m65

Or a rothco one. Apparently they can double as a softshell which is nice

>>18639235
Rothco is usually a good bet, do that.

But it doesn't have any side pockets :'(. It only has those 4 on the front.

>>18638131
>battle jacket
please don't ruin a perfectly good m65 for this. the only patches that belong on one are any military ones that they sometimes come with

As someone who built a battlejacket, going all out with spikes, patches, pins, the whole nine yards, I say this shit is cringe. I still have it hanging in the far nether reaches of my closet, but it only sees the light of day if there’s a very rare music event that calls for it.

This type of metal or punk rock subculture is dead, whether it’s antifa faggotry or right-wing LARP. The whole crusty style died in 2020 when Millennials left the spotlight and zoomers took over. It’s just not chic anymore. It’s unc-coded. Notice the alternative folk at protests look like they’re too old to be there like they haven’t moved on.

Right now, your best bet is to let the style and associated subcultures die and rebuild from the ashes. Go to any “metal” venue today and bands are now playing “metal” that sounds like a darker Nirvana. Essentially Y2K TikTok if it wanted to play an instrument. The rest are aging hipsters in the HR department playing the most boring post punk and folk.

Battlejackets have gone back to being too overdone and flamboyant. Tone it down and modernize it severely and sprout a new plant. Maybe in ten years it could all return. Right now it’s considered either dated or midlife crisis.

you can get greek m65s in olive relatively cheap, if ur making a battle jacket surp is the way to go. Try Americana pipedream or ebay.I think camo makes a cooler jacket but makes it harder to style, so live is ur safest bet

thrifts, ebay whatever just find one that's government issue. Look on the tag for a defense contract code starting with DA/DSA/DLA/SPO

Nah the greek ones look like thrash, get the original american ones.

This probably isn't the place to ask but i can't see a dumb questions thread. Are there any better shots of this m65like jacket Kanye was wearing on his Yeezus tour? It looks cool. afaik it's custom made by Maison Martin Margiela

I didn't know m65's was popular i just got one because i thought James looked so cool and i got one that looked the most like his.

>>18641433
Wouldn't they have been made by the Margiela team or Galliano since Martin left the brand at that point

This is a French Air Force jacket I got on ebay. Someone added the patch. I was thinking of adding more patches but I'm not sure. I have a collection but I don't know which ones to put on, if any.

looks like it's this one. probably custom made french-like fatigues jacket

i just know ur a faggot pooner lmao

is there a meaningful distinction between a punk/music band battle jacket and a patched field jacket in a preppy fashion or streetwear sense? off-white used to do patched jackets, and they are a returning staple at ralph lauren.
>>
>>18646314
>is there a meaningful distinction
The content of the patches themselves, obviously? Do you think the patched Raf Simons bombers are not meaningfully distinct from what you posted, or does the depth of aesthetic discernment only go as far as [jacket, jacket with patches]?
