Lakebed Relic M65 Field Jacket

Vintage Soul · Lakebed Relic Finish · Modern Edge

Some garments feel new; others feel lived in.
The Lakebed Relic M65 Field Jacket belongs to the latter.
Built upon the framework of the original U.S. Army M65, it has been reconstructed with modern proportion and a sense of authentic wear—
as if it had surfaced from the lakebed of time to return to everyday life.

1 · Craftsmanship – Lakebed Relic Finish

A traditional M65 was made for uniformity and endurance.
This version reimagines that idea with a process that turns new fabric into something quietly aged and personal.

Fabric: High-density washed twill cotton; firm yet flexible.
Finish: Lakebed Relic Finish — a multi-stage wash that recreates the mineral-faded tone of vintage olive drab.
Texture: Low-saturation color, soft matte reflection, organic irregularity.
Character: Each piece is individually treated; no two are ever the same.

The result is a surface that feels discovered rather than manufactured—subtle, weathered, and full of depth.

2 · Silhouette – Classic Structure, Contemporary Ease

The proportions stay faithful to the classic M65 but are rebalanced for modern life.

Narrower shoulders preserve the square stance without excess width.
Full sleeves drape naturally for ease of movement.
Adjustable drawcord at the hem allows shaping or relaxed volume.
Four external pockets and one internal pocket keep the functional logic intact.
Optional removable quilted liner adapts easily across seasons.

This is the structure of a military icon, softened for the rhythm of daily wear.

3 · Character – Vintage Soul, Modern Edge

The Lakebed Relic M65 doesn’t aim to look pristine.
Its appeal lies in understatement and authenticity.

Muted olive drab with layered undertones.
Clean geometry and tactile honesty.
Designed to age gracefully with the wearer.

It carries the discipline of the original field jacket while translating it into a modern quiet strength.

A jacket not made to look old,
but made to feel real.
