Items with Wool parts are stored in “moth balls” to protect against Moths!
I try to “air-out” the Item before I ship but some “moth-ball” odor may remain.
Be prepared to hang the Item someplace where you don't get “bitched-at” for 4-5 days!

3120x - ERDL Camouflage Brown Dominant RIPSTOP M65 Field Jacket
Information gleaned by a Militaria Collector about the M-65 EDRL RIPSTOP Brown Dominant Camouflage Field Jacket made by Alpha Industries in the early 1970s. Below is the verbatim query and reply, via two emails, one from the Collector (I had discussed these jackets with) when he queried the Alpha Company and the reply sent my an Alpha "Senior Manager" at Chantilly, Virginia:
Question sent to Alpha by a collector on December 4, 2009:
"I have an M-65 Men's Cold Weather Camouflage Field Coat in the ERDL pattern(not the recent Woodland Pattern) used during the later stages of the Vietnam War that according to the coat label was made by Alpha Industries that I am trying to get information on. Coat label is marked Stock No: 9415-11-287-1283, Alpha Industries, Inc, RN 35569. Wanted to see if you could provide me some history on this jacket and whether it was produced for the Military market or commerical market?"
Reply from the Alpha Company on December 10, 2009:
"Thank you for your E-mail and interest in Alpha products. This was a camo pattern developed for the Army during the Vietnam War for use in the Vietnamese jungles. It is very rare as was only a limited number made closer to the end of the war."
