These reproduction parkas are based on the original USGI M51 Fishtail. Originally designed and issued to US troops in cold weather climates such as Korea, they're great for chilly winters.
The M51 Fishtail Parka is also a staple of surplus streetwear. Their fashion history began in the 1960s, when London mods—a subculture of jazz-listening hooligans—began wearing them.
Order a removable fur collar alongside your M51 and you'll be straight drippin', peak surplus streetwear.
