Its just one of those timeless icons!
The M65 Jacket is a cold weather field coat. Designed for the US military in 1965, it quickly became an icon within the civilians! Its often been seen in movies, such as Taxi Driver, Serpico, Deer Hunter, First Blood etc.!
The Iron Heart version, remains close to the original, including four front pockets and stand-up collar with a built-in hood, but with additional, useful side hand-warmer and internal pockets
BUT, this is no ordinary M65 - The IH design team have constructed this unique take on the M65 from natural indigo dyed, 16oz selvedge denim.
Hand dyed in Tokushima, Japan, the use of natural indigo results in a denim with a richer colour compared to more commonly used synthetics. A very labour-intensive process (hence the more limited nature of natural indigo denim), the dye also takes a lot longer to start fading. However, when the yarns do eventually start to give up their indigo, the denim will develop beautiful fade patterns with lots of contrast. Finished with 8-wale corduroy lining on the collar and cuffs, leather drawstrings and an over-spec’d YKK zipper...
