The M-51 Field Jacket is often considered the quintessential military jacket. This particular piece is an authentic 1957 contract model that vividly captures the atmosphere of that era. Size: SMALL-SHORT.

The first thing that catches the eye is its rugged, refined silhouette. Details such as the four front pockets, the fly-front zipper and button closure, and the drawcord at the hem showcase the unique charm of this pivotal transitional model that led to the later M-65. It masterfully blends practicality and design.

The inner tag reveals the following
information: "COAT, MAN'S, COTTON, WRS, WRT, OG-107," a July
29, 1957 contract (Cohen Fein Company), specification
number "MIL-C-11448B," and a 1955 pattern, confirming that this is an authentic piece from that era.

The fabric is OG-107, a water-repellent cotton satin. The olive color, enhanced by the texture developed through wear, is exceptionally beautiful, giving the jacket a deep, vintage-inspired look. While there are signs of wear throughout, the zipper (TALON) operates smoothly and is still fully functional, making it perfectly wearable. Although there are minor scuffs on the cuffs and various other areas, these add to the authentic patina of the piece.Although it does not come with a liner, this makes it a lightweight jacket that’s easy to throw on, which is part of its charm. The size is SMALL-SHORT. It fits the Japanese physique very well and is a great size that’s easy to incorporate into modern outfits.

While it embodies the essence of military style, this well-balanced piece perfectly captures the era, details, and fit. It is a vintage field jacket that is a must-have.
