The Collector’s Edition Alpha M-51 Field Jacket is an authentic reproduction of the M-51 field jacket. The M-51 (M-1951) was the first major revision of the field jacket since the WWII M-43 and is the predecessor to the current M-65 field jacket. Worn during the Korean War and during the early part of the Vietnam War, the M-51 will bring back memories to vets of that era. The M-51 retains some of the characteristics of the M-43, but includes a zippered front under a snap-closed wind-flap. This is an improvement in both practicality and convenience over the M-43’s button front. An outstanding field jacket to wear as is, or adorn it with your own patches and unit insignias!
