Vtg M-1951 M51 US Army Poplin Fishtail Parka Shell Korean War MOD 25.5 P-P
An original 1952 issue M-1951 Korean War US Army poplin cotton fishtail parka shell with Crown zipper. Made in USA by Woodbury MFG. It is in good vintage condition with a little staining, a small hole in the back, a frayed shoulder seam and a couple of areas of missing seam stitching that might need repairing.
Half way up the zip there are a few teeth missing, i haven't tried to zip past this point as there is a chance it will make it worse, please be aware of this. The waist cord is missing. Please see all images to get a complete picture of the condition. The original size stencil reads Medium and there is a white tab over the top that reads Small so please follow the measurements to ensure the right fit. M-51 parkas are traditionally worn very oversized so measurements come up big, so to ensure the desired fit please follow the exterior measurements.
The measurements have not been doubled. Armpit to armpit - 25 1/2.
Nape of collar to hem - 41. Shoulder to shoulder - 22. Shoulder to cuff - 24 1/2. Armpit to cuff - 22. Please feel free to message me with any questions.
