Detailed Description: This is a deadstock genuine classic ORIGINAL Vintage USA Army Fishtail M65

Styling Guidance: As the images depict this shell has been adapted. To maintain the original pockets the jacket upper is tapered which appears as a riding coat / flared when laid flat. However, the item has the original drawcord and this can be used to give the coat a straighter look.
It has been re-sized to create a ladies fit Parka by market demand. See Image of Original Parka Label to guaranbtee authticity. See below for sizing details.
This is a genuine original fishtail parka carefully re-tailored to keep the design of the original yet fit smaller."

before significant market pricing pressures came to drive down quality.

Drawcord Waist and Hood to optimise warmth and fit.
