{"product_id":"1940s-us-army","title":"1940s US ARMY","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mountain parka issued to U.S. Army mountain troops during World War II in the 1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is reversible and made of a fantastic, high-density cotton. It's soft and easy to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this length and the double-layered fabric (due to it being reversible), it provides a decent amount of warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt features a high neck and a fur-trimmed hood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI purchased this particular piece from a dealer in Paris in the middle of summer, and I was genuinely surprised to come across U.S. military vintage there. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen I asked how they came to possess such a piece, they explained that this model was worn by the U.S. Army when crossing the mountains from southern France into Italy during WWII, and because of that historical context, 1940s (WWII) U.S. military vintage items were often found in France back in the day. That makes so much sense!! Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific piece shows heavy signs of wear on the white side, suggesting it was used hard during cold, snowy mountain crossings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to the purpose for which it was designed, the construction and fabric are truly exceptional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI believe it speaks to the difference in national power at the time, but I find myself thinking every day that U.S. military vintage is truly incredible. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth sides have fully independent pockets, and they are deeper than you’d expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI’ll leave that as a pleasant surprise for when you receive and open your package. Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou’ll find yourself thinking, \"Oh, wow, these are actually quite deep—they hold a ton of stuff!\" Haha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePardon the digression, but this is a very fashionable and cool garment that I recommend for both men and women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e1\u003c\/span\u003e wash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shopify-section\" id=\"shopify-section-product-template\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-enable-history-state=\"true\" data-cart-enable-ajax=\"true\" data-extra-tab-content=\"\" data-show-extra-tab=\"false\" data-image-zoom-type=\"lightbox\" data-section-type=\"product-template\" data-section-id=\"product-template\" id=\"ProductSection\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Product\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__description rte\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e※Free Shipping\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eModel height - 174cm, 167cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMaterial - Cotton. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSize - fits mens XL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eMeasurement on flat (cm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eLength 98cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eWidth 74cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eShoulder width 61cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSleeve length 63cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCondition - The white side is stained, but as these are not damages, there are no issues with wearing, washing, or storing the item.
