This is a United States Marine Corps M-65 field jacket, a standard issue pattern associated with the Vietnam War era. The garment is constructed from olive drab OG-107 cotton and nylon sateen. It features four large front cargo pockets with snap-down flaps, a heavy-duty metal front zipper with a snap-down storm flap, and a stand-up collar with a zippered compartment for a concealed hood. The jacket includes a bi-swing action back and velcro adjustable cuffs. On the left breast pocket, there is a black ink stencil of the Marine Corps Eagle, Globe, and Anchor emblem and the letters USMC. To the left of the pocket, the name R.P. MASON is stenciled vertically. An enamel pin is attached to the left pocket flap, identifying the veteran as a participant in the Combined Action Program.
