Your M65 must be different from mine...= )
Not worth anything except looking cool. Too light for under 40 degrees and too much cotton for rain, I'm soaked in under 5 minutes, too bulky to move around in...
Go look at some nice North Face gear, some of mine is 30 years old and still going strong, still waterproof, yet breathes, light enough to work in and warm enough for -10. In the picture is my favorite cool weather work gear, Gore-tex jacket, fleece lined leather gloves made in Wyoming, gore-tex Red Wings, Carhartt duck dungerees, and my Sven-Saw...ha!ha! For really inclement weather I pull out the North Face parka with hood and put on my REI Gaiters.....hummm... I must be watching too much Nascar on my 54" DLP TV.....= )
