This is an actual shell of the "M-65 Field Parka", a masterpiece of the U.S. military.
The official name is **"PARKA, EXTREME COLD WEATHER "**. This model was developed as a successor to the M-51 Parka of the 1950s for operation in extremely cold regions, and was widely used from the late Vietnam War to the Cold War period.

This item is an original made in 1977 (DSA100-77-C-1187 ) and manufactured by Vanderbilt Shirt Co. The size indicated is SMALL-REGULAR (33-37" chest). It is made of lightweight and durable 50% cotton and 50% nylon high-density poplin fabric, and features robust tailoring to withstand wind, snow, and abrasion.

The front has a zipper and button closure, large flap pockets on both hips, and drawcords at the waist and hem. It also has button loops for attaching a hood and liner, and is designed to be useful in the field in midwinter. This item does not come with a liner or hood.

The individual presented here is in such good condition that it is very rare to find a shell by itself. The color remains dark and the overall feeling of use is negligible. The zipper, drawcord, inside label, and other parts are in perfect condition and can be worn for a long time as a superb vintage shell.

The M-65 Parka has had a great influence on European mod culture and American casual since the 1970s due to its high design quality, and many brands have used the M-65 Parka as a prototype for their products. It is still overwhelmingly popular as the "originator of the style" and the "perfection of military wear "**.

In recent years, the number of M-65s released has been drastically decreasing and prices are on the rise, but good M-65s in this condition, year of manufacture, and material are inevitable to become increasingly difficult to find.
Please be sure to have on hand this masterpiece that combines practicality, fashion, and archival value, all of which will remain in the history of the military.

Please note that this is a pre-owned item and cannot be returned. Please understand that this is a used item and cannot be returned.
