A shell parka issued to the U.S. military for use in extreme cold zones during the Korean War in the 1950s.
Commonly known as the M51 fishtail or mods coat.
This is the second time we have stocked this item, and it has become quite difficult to source lately.
The material is a high-density cotton-nylon blend; it’s truly excellent.
A voluminous silhouette, a large hood, and two big pockets on the front.
It looks cool.
We use these ourselves, and they are incredibly versatile. I often take one with me on buying trips, as I do a lot of walking, and it’s useful for sudden rain and can be worn for most of the year except midsummer by adjusting what you wear underneath.
Of course, I wear it in other situations too, but especially last year, I found myself reaching for it constantly.
Personally, the more an item causes this phenomenon, the higher I rate it. Haha.
Until a week ago, it was the rainy season in Prague, so I wore it several times. It served me well. Haha.
Also, while there are differences in national power, generally speaking, many vintage military items are cool and easy to incorporate into modern fashion.
I always think it’s fun how much the look changes depending on the styling.
This particular piece has some stains and repairs, but it has a great character to it.
I like this level of condition. I think it’s cool.
The size is marked S, but it fits like a men's M to L.
It’s light, washable, durable, and above all, it’s cool.
The fabric of old military gear is just top-notch. Haha.
Highly recommended. Please wear it hard and love it.
Washed once.
