"Just a quick email to say a big Thankyou for getting the parka here so quickly for a birthday present, after chatting on the phone. Fantastic looking piece of kit and a brilliant service from you.! Well done and thanks again, he's going to be well chuffed."

"Thrilled, Spectacular, Awesome"
"Thank you for all your help with finding me an original M-1951 Parka. The package arrived today much sooner than expected (only took three days to cross the pond). When I opened the box, I was thrilled. As describe, the parka and liner were in near unissued condition. In fact, they were spectacular! The Wolf fur on the detachable hood is awesome and really adds character to the parka. Please tell your refurbished they did one heck of a job. Finally, the advice you gave me regarding sizing was spot on and the parka fits exactly as desired."

"Brilliant"
Received my M-1951 Parka today.It fits perfectly for my requirements, i.e. to wear it over my business suit, to commute to work on my Scoot, just as we discussed and you promised.
It was more than I wanted to pay originally, but for a piece of history, born around the same time as me, it is worth every penny, and indeed more, (which I never ever admit)
Putting it on transports me to a different time and place, the fondly remembered past, recapturing some of my happy adolescent memories.
My wife will kill me for spending our hard earned, but , I can tell you, it is worth it. "Brilliant"
Thanks

If you want
to get your hands on a genuine US army fishtail
parka, be it a vintage M1951 parka or a
classic M1965 then you have come to right
place..
"In
the history of fashion and culture,
there is no other single item
of clothing that has risen to
the status of a globally recognised
fashion icon with such pace and
momentum.
An icon of an era and a way of
life that is both unmistakable
in its presence and, leaves no
doubt as to what is being said.
The fishtail
parka rose from simple and
humble beginnings to become a
global fashion icon, now used
at every turn to encapsulate all
that is quintessentially mod.
I often wonder if those young
kids in Shepard's Bush knew that
what they were starting back then
was set to continue for over half
a century and cover half the globe"
fishtailparkas.com

end to an endless search, and a place

Well you completed your mission perfectly as the coat arrived about 9.30 am on Tuesday.
Top job & a top coat - I couldn't have asked for more!"
