Crafting an icon is a journey.

The M-65 jacket tells a tale of gradual evolution through decades:

60’s,

70’s,

80’s,

90’s,

2000’s.

Milan, April 2023.

The heart of fashion pulses with M-65s, transitioning from a military staple to a style symbol.

Envision Sylvester Stallone in "First Blood."

Robert De Niro as Travis Bickle in "Taxi Driver."

Paddy Considine in "Dead Man's Shoes".

The M-65 morphs from military to mainstream. Veterans like John Kerry don it in protests, birthing a symbol of peace.

Massimo Osti,

Saint Laurent,

Marc Jacobs,

Ralph Lauren,

Tom Ford,

Saint Laurent,

Virgil Abloh,

Supreme,

Ten C,

and more reimagine it.

Yet its essence remains untouched.

It’s not just fashion; it’s a narrative. From battlefields to racks of local army surplus stores to the streets, the M65 endures.

Crafted to last and steadfast, it remains prominent with over fifty years of service.

A shield

A symbol.

A dream.

An icon, stitching its story through decades and genres to come.
