Military-inspired Women’s Field Jackets & Coats
Field jackets aren’t just a modern style staple—they’ve played a major role in fashion and military history since the 1960s. The most iconic field jacket is the M-65: known for its oversized fit, large exterior pockets, hidden hood, and snap buttons.
As field jackets became available at military surplus stores in the 1970s, they started making their way into women’s outerwear. They quickly became a symbol of the anti-war movement and received mainstream exposure thanks to celebrity activists like John Lennon and Jane Fonda.
Fast forward to today and Alpha Industries’ field jackets are still inspired by the classic M-65—with functional design updates that suit the way we live now.
Style Tips: How to Wear Women’s Field Jackets
Women’s field jackets are the perfect throw-on-and-go layering piece, with pockets that will fit your keys, phone, and wallet with ease. Their durable fabrics, neutral colors, and classic silhouettes are just as well suited for a hike in the woods as they are for a night out with friends in the city.
The Heritage Women’s M-65 Field Jacket has an oversized fit, in line with the original design’s military specifications. If you like a more fitted look, we recommend the Women’s M-65 Mod Lightweight Field Jacket.
Either option pairs as well with dresses and work clothes as it does with leggings, a hoodie or a t-shirt. Field jackets are an ideal weight for cool spring and fall days or breezy summer nights—for added warmth, just add a quilted liner.
