If you don’t like the hood in the Belgian M64 coat , here you have the same garment but with a hood that you can hide. It could be described as the Belgian cousin of the legendary American M65 jacket: a really rugged all-season field jacket with numerous pockets.
Features
The M64 field jacket is unlined, which is great as this means you can use it in both cold and warmer weather. When it gets cold, you just wear a sweater underneath, and that´s it. The fit can be adjusted using the velcro cuffs and drawstrings in the waist and hem. The front buttons up, and the buttons are covered by a velcro storm flap. Covering the shoulders and some of the back, there is a waterproof fabric hidden between the other layers. This hidden fabric can rustle, as it's old. The rustling might go away in use when the fabric becomes creased enough. We're not sure.
Four pockets on the front, all closed by very secure velcro flaps. A large poacher's pocket in the lower back adds some extra space to stuff any bulkier items. No hood that is always visible. Instead, there is a small pocket where you can tuck away the thin hood.
Sizing
Sized according to user height and chest, it can´t get any simpler than this! The funny number & letter combo is just the Belgian size code. By picking the jacket with your measurements, you have room to fit warm stuff underneath.
Condition
Used Belgian military surplus. The colors can be a bit faded, and some minor repairs may have been done to some of the jackets, but overall, these are in very good shape for their age. Some seem completely unused. Also, some of these do have a bit of a warehouse smell to them, which may be a problem for those with sensitive noses. You can get rid of it by airing these out properly.

Velcro is only used on the cuffs and that is acceptable.
Sturdy jacket of thick cotton with doubled elbow patches.
Made by Seyntex, just like the Dutch 70/80's green period.
They could have dispensed with the thin hood.
Pockets on the smallish side. Silent, small, buttons to close. Poachersbags at the rear are separated L/R.
They have top/ low buttons for closing. You can probably keep the top one open without the contents falling out.
Best is to close it up allthough it is not easy to close or access.
The waterproof shoulder fabric looks like PU coated. The long wait to get to action gave it creases and coating damage.
Don't think it will be functional. A back pack will probably chave it to bits.
It is brand new old stock and at the moment it is airing out in the wind and rain of our splendid summer.
Sizing for the 105/115 is a bit on the narrow side. When in doubt, move one size up.
I can use mine with hardly a sweater beneath. That is ok. I wanted it because of the good, thick quality.
