The Rothco Kids M-65 Field Jacket is a children's cold-weather outer layer built on the classic M-65 military silhouette, made for outdoor wear in wind and light rain. The shell is a 55% cotton / 45% polyester twill with a water-repellent finish; the interior carries a quilted 100% polyester liner for warmth. Available in Woodland Camo and Woodland Digital Camo, in sizes XS through XL depending on colorway.
Built to Handle the Weather
The Rothco Kids M-65 Field Jacket's cotton/polyester twill shell carries a water-repellent finish that sheds moisture and blocks wind during outdoor activity. Snap-up storm flaps add a second line of defense at the front closure, keeping drafts from working through the zipper. For kids spending extended time outside in cold or wet conditions, that combination of treated shell and storm flap coverage means staying comfortable rather than cutting the day short.
Warmth Without Bulk
A built-in quilted polyester liner runs through the jacket body, providing insulation without the stiffness of a separate insert. The liner is integrated rather than removable, so there are no extra pieces to track. Hook-and-loop wrist cuffs seal the sleeves against the cold and allow attachment to gloves, closing the gap that lets cold air in at the wrist during active wear.
Practical Pockets and Adjustable Fit
The M-65 Field Jacket carries four snap-closure pockets: two large chest pockets and two large waist cargo pockets, giving kids accessible storage for essentials without relying on a bag. Button-down epaulettes and a bottom drawstring let the jacket be cinched to fit, while the detachable hood attaches with buttons and secures with a brass zipper closure. The hood matches the outer shell color and can be removed entirely when conditions don't call for it.
