VINTAGE MILITARY COLD WEATHER PARKA IN EXCELLENT CONDITIONOriginally created for the US Army but brought to the mainstream by mod culture in the 1950s and 60s, the fishtail parka is one piece of outerwear with many uses: of course as a rain jacket, but can also work equally well as a city coat over a suit or in the wilderness on a hike.SIZE REGULAR EXTRA LARGEFISHTAIL BACK WITH SPLIT DRAWSTRING SO PARKA CAN BE TIED SEPARATELY AROUND EACH LEGCUFFS HAVE HIDDEN RETRACTABLE ELA...STIC AT THE BUTTONS TO CONFORM PERFECTLY TO WRIST SIZEMADE TO ACCOMMODATE A LINER NO LINER OR HOOD IS INCLUDED Army designers went to the drawing board and developed the Cold Weather Parka. The key concern for the US military was to keep the soldiers warm and nimble without wearing a thick and clumsy piece of outwear. The fishtail parka accomplished these needs with a three-quarter length, so it could keep someone’s entire body warm without hindering their movement, and constructed the coat out of waterproof nylon and cotton, so the material would shed snow and freezing rain.COAT MEASURES ABOUT 39" LONG, TAPERING TO ABOUT 42" IN BACKNO TEARS, NO HOLES, NO SOILING SEE PHOTOS FOR CONDITION I AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO COMBINE YOUR MULTIPLE PURCHASES FOR A SAVINGS ON SHIPPING FEES FOR YOU WHEN POSSIBLECHECK MY FEEDBACK FOR EVIDENCE OF SUPERIOR SERVICE.
