Created in the 1960's by the US Army, this is the second gen “fishtail parka” that the mod wore back in 1960's/70's Britain. Nowadays, a few years on this jacket has not lost any uniqueness and is now a very uncommon and hard to find item. This item is very similar to the original M-51 parka and was issued just before the M65 field jacket became the standard issued jacket to U.S troop in Vietnam. This jacket was issued for extreme cold weather, and uses the same hood as the original m-65 jacket.
Your item may or may not come with a fur hood and the lining may be slightly different on each, i.e. some have fur pile, some are synthetic polyester.
Comes with hood, may not match exactly in colour
