MIL-TEC M65 ARMY FISHTAIL SHELL PARKA MILITARY VINTAGE MENS LINED JACKET OLIVE
Mil-Tec US M65 Fishtail Parka
Colour: Olive
Introduced to the US Army in early 50's the fishtail parka was widely used by American soldiers to cope with the freezing conditions during the Korean War. Known as the M1951 (or M51) fishtail parka was then replaced by its warmer and lighter version with a detachable hood - the M-1965 (M65) fishtail parka. In the 60's the fishtail parka became a symbol of the mod subculture. Nowadays, although it has been replaced in the US military by the Extended Cold Weather Clothing System (ECWCS), the fishtail parka remains one of the most popular and recognizable military jackets model.
Presented M65 fishtail extreme cold weather (ECW) parka features full length button-in quilted winter liner. This type of coat can be tied around the upper legs for added wind protection thanks to the fact that it is longer at the back than at the front - that is where name 'fishtail' comes from. Moreover it goes with heavy duty full length front zipper and studded storm flap, two large angled front pockets with flaps and stud closures, drawstring waist and hem as well as adjustable wrist button straps. Hood is not included.

All the actual measurements given on the site as "armpit to armpit x 2" refer to the measurements of the garment and not the size it will fit.
The best way of checking if an item will fit is to measure a similar garment you have which fits well and compare the measurements.
When we give the "Armpit to armpit x 2" on an item it is measured directly at the top of the side seams (armpit to armpit) laid flat, then the measurement is doubled, giving the circumference.
If we state that an item is labelled "to fit xx" / XXcm" please check this against your own measurements.
