Kristoffer LawsonThe #m65 fishtail #parka has to be one of the greatest coats ever made. I don’t mean the less substantial m65 field jacket, and I definitely don’t mean the H&M quality level copies (in Finnish, #maihinnousutakki). The original. Roomy, warm (designed for frigid Korean War conditions), versatile (can be worn with or without the warm liner, or the huge hood, which also has a removable liner), very wind resistant (can even be attached round your legs). Think of the ubiquitous N3B but longer.
Speaking of the #N3B #parka (in Finnish: pilottiparka, not the same as the smaller jacket), it’s worth reminding people that if you are buying one you are almost certain to be buying a copy. Including the pricier ‘Alpha Industries’ thing. Made in the Far East and does not match the military spec (if you’re interested I can give you the details).
Up to you whether those things matter, but you’re not getting the true American icon.
