Size: SMALL. In a sense, you could call this the winter camouflage version of a Mods coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is from the initial production run under the contract dated March 24, 1953. The label clearly retains the inscription \u0026ldquo;PARKA, FIELD, OVERWHITE, M-1950,\u0026rdquo; and it is an extremely rare piece in virtually unused condition. Some discoloration due to age is visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M-1950 Snow Parka is a camouflage outer garment developed to conceal a soldier\u0026rsquo;s silhouette in snowy plains and snow-covered areas. Designed to be worn over standard field jackets and cold-weather gear, it is characterized by a loose, oversized silhouette.It was one of the pieces of equipment improved based on experiences from cold-weather combat during the Korean War, and it maximized its camouflage effectiveness in snow-covered mountainous regions and plains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from lightweight yet durable cotton and featuring drawstrings at the waist and hem, it boasts a functional design built for combat use. The integrated hood design boasts a level of refinement that foreshadowed later mod coats and snow camo parkas, and it remains extremely popular in the modern fashion scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn particular, the M-1950 is much rarer than the later M-1951 and M-1965 models, and early examples from the 1953 contract are rarely seen even on the collector\u0026rsquo;s market. In recent years, it has been increasingly reevaluated not only as vintage military wear but also as an overcoat and layering piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother appealing feature is that, rather than being pure white, the color has changed slightly to a natural off-white hue over the course of more than 70 years. It possesses a vintage character that cannot be found in new items, while also maintaining the pristine cleanliness unique to unused pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its historical value as authentic U.S. military gear from the Korean War era, this is a highly refined piece of fashion. This is a deadstock M-1950 snow parka, which has become increasingly difficult to obtain in recent years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Manufacture: United States of America\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear: 1953 (Contract Date: March 24, 1953)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eName: PARKA, FIELD, OVERWHITE, M-1950\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize: SMALL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnused.
