The M-51 Fishtail Parka traces its roots to the U.S. Army in Korea, where it was designed to withstand the rigorous, wet winters of the early 1950s. A decade later, it found a new life on the streets of London and New York, becoming a staple among working men looking to protect their suits from the city’s cold and rain.
Cockpit USA’s interpretation stays true to that history, crafted from authentic, water-repellent mil-spec cotton/nylon canvas in olive green.
This clean, classic parka can also be purchased with a shearling liner for added insulation (Z21X029), or with an embroidered U.S. Army Airborne Parachute Wing insignia (Z26W103C) a unique design honoring the bravery of military parachutists.
Authentic. Historic. Built for movement.
