This is an M51 Field Parka shell, used mainly in the Korean War and other conflicts. The size is Small, and the year of manufacture is unreadable. Probably around 1951-1953.

The M65 Fishtail Parka is currently called the Mod Parka because it resembles the coat worn by the British pop culture "Mods," but the original Mod Parka is this M51 Field Parka. After the Korean War, a large amount of U.S. military supplies were imported to the U.K. and circulated in the general market. At that time, this M51 Field Parka, which could be worn inexpensively without tarnishing fashion, was worn like a store coat in the 1930s and was also used as warm clothes when riding a Vespa. From the above, it can be said that the original mod parka is this M51 Field Parka. It is a very useful parka for bikers and everyday wear.

This coat is size Small. The zipper has corrosion and needs to be maintained before use. The entire surface is stained, but it can still be useful by washing. The metal fittings and other parts are also corroded. It is somewhat stained throughout, so if you are concerned, we recommend hand washing it once. This is a very hard to find parka these days as well as the M65, so if you are looking for one, don't miss out.

Because it is a used item, returns are not possible. Please understand.
