M-48 PARKA

In order to cope with extreme cold weather, ordinary coats cannot meet the needs of extreme cold weather. Inspired by the daily wear of Arctic Eskimos, the complex-structured M-48 PARKA was designed in 1948. This was a fishtail coat designed at all costs at that time. It was born in 1948, adopted in 1949, and approved on July 25, 1950. It was only produced for one year in the same year. The outer shell of the parka is made of wind-resistant cotton sateen in olive OGIO7. It features two large fleece pockets with hoods, an offset zipper that goes all the way to the nose, which when zipped up resembles a submarine sight glass, and a pocket on the left hip. , can hold pencils and cigarettes.

Compared with the later simplified M-5IPARKA, the M48 can be said to be a work of art. Its complex structure and sewing method made the production cost too high at the time. As a result, the M-48 was quickly replaced by the "cheaper" M-1951.

M-48 historically used heavy windproof satin fabric, which has a very tight weave. In order to restore the texture of M-48PAKRA back then, we used Supima long-staple cotton produced in the southwestern United States to restore the texture of M-48 back then. Cloth characteristics, Supima cotton spinning and heavy loom matching. Brand-new fabrics will have a charming luster, and as the wear time increases, the color of the fabrics will age naturally. Supima cotton is not only reflected in its gloss. When clothes are washed more often, general short-fiber cotton will become frizzy, while long-staple cotton will appear frizzy.
Cotton will maintain the texture of the cloth longer.

Historically, the most common zippers used on M-48 were TALON copper zippers. We and TALON Company customized the webbing color of the original M48. Use size 10 main zippers and side pocket zippers with bell-shaped size 5 pullers. No. 4 TALON copper pulls on the side pockets, with original style pull cords.
The pockets of the M-48 are thicker and heavier than the woolen pockets of the 51.

The M-48 has the iconic big arm pocket, which is used to hold cigarettes and pens. This three-dimensional pocket is actually relatively complicated in terms of production process. Speaking of the complex design structure of the M-48, it also includes the sewing method of the hood and the cumbersome ropes. system, the intricacies of copper wire wolf hair, and the stitching of thick wool pockets, when you put on an M48 parka you realize the quality of their production and understand why they
It was only produced for such a short period of time that it can now be called a work of art.

The M-48 hat is a non-detachable hood, and the drawstring on the back of the hood can tighten the hat, which is another unique feature. There is a small piece of lining at the top of the zipper to prevent the cold metal zipper from touching your face. There are two large cuff buttons on each sleeve with hidden elastic to prevent cold weather from entering the body.
