The M-51 Field Parka (a.k.a. Mod Coat/Fishtail Parka), a masterpiece among masterpieces, is now in stock. It is a legendary piece of clothing that later became world-famous under the name "Mod Coat", loved by the mods of London for its functionality and minimalist design beauty.

This item is a real M-51 shell (without liner and hood) with "U.S. ARMY" patch on the chest and CROWN zippers, which are coveted by vintage military enthusiasts, are securely attached, which is a sure sign that it is a real released item. The front has a zipper and button closure for windproofing. The hem is designed in a "fishtail" shape to prevent cold wind and snow from entering. Drawcords at the waist and hem allow you to adjust the silhouette.

The size is "MEDIUM" and the inside stamp confirms "PARKA, SHELL, M-1951" and the stock number (8405-261-6338). The built-in elastic at the cuffs is still alive and allows for a sleek sleeve silhouette while still providing warmth and protection. Please note that the cuff buttons are missing and we will provide two spare buttons so you can repair them if you are concerned.

The overall condition is very good, with the fabric still retaining its bounce and luster, and no noticeable damage can be seen. There are some light stains and scuffs, but they are part of the charm as a natural vintage-like texture.

In recent years, there has been a movement to re-evaluate the M-51 as a "real mod coat" rather than the M-65, and it has become more difficult to find one in good size and condition every year. The M-51 is also known as the "Aoshima Coat" because it was worn by the main character in the TV drama "Bayside Shakedown," and it is extremely popular in Japan. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
