Cockpit USA M51 DMZ Fishtail Shell in Olive

Cockpit USA’s M51 DMZ Fishtail Shell is a tribute to past perfect engineering.

First crafted in the 1950s by the US Army to protect personnel during the tough wet winters of the Korean War, the M-51 fishtail parka became a staple item on the streets of London in the 1960s, protecting the suits of working men that needed shielding from that city’s elements. The name “Fishtail” comes from a split near the seams designed to allow the wearer to wrap each side of the bottom of the coat around each leg to keep out rain and snow
