Genuine U.S. Army M-65 Fishtail Parkas

Iconic. Functional. Timeless.

Originally issued by the U.S. Army during the Korean War and Cold War era, the fishtail parka was built for soldiers facing harsh, wet, and cold conditions in the field. With its distinctive rear “fishtail” split hem (designed to be tied around the legs for warmth), this parka has become a legendary piece of military outerwear and a streetwear icon in its own right.
