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.

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.

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?

>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

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

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.
