In fact, M-65PARKA should not be understood as the simple M-51PARKA, but more accurately it should be an evolution. The fabric has changed from heavy pure cotton satin to slightly waterproof nylon/cotton blended poplin fabric, and the hood design has been changed to detachable. Hood, epaulettes removed, stand-up collar. These designs are all designed to better adapt to the application environment at that time. M-65PARKA made of lightweight fabrics has the same wearing experience and upper body feel as M-5IPARKA

In fact, the styles are quite different, so these two fishtail coats are still called classics. One of the two versions reproduced this time, the 1978 M-65 PARKA, is actually a derivative item, because many friends like the style of the M65 stand-up collar PARKA, and at the same time want thicker, pressed fabrics to drape. Feeling, so we decided to reproduce the 1978 jacket using the nylon/cotton satin blended fabric of the original M65 jacket. It was factory-adjusted to be soft and drapey, and the weight is very similar to the M5I PARKA. Other details completely refer to the style features of the 1978 version, as well as the label, contract number details, and brass zippers (the M65 windbreaker had lead zippers from 1967 to 1971, and was changed to copper zippers after 1971).

Different from the universal four-button buttons on the YKK market, we use thickened black custom four-button buttons that are customized according to the original year. We also pay attention to the shape of the front and back, as well as the color and polished texture. The materials and colors of the thick blended wool pockets are selected. These The details may seem small, but only when combined together
Only then can it be called a better replica item.

This time we made a bold attempt to use the nylon/cotton blended fabric of the original M65 jacket to reproduce this 1978 M-65 PARKA. In order to meet the textured and drapey style, this customized fabric is different from the ready-made fabrics on the market. Blended fabrics require exquisite skills and experience from spinning to weaving to dyeing. Using imported looms and imported dyes can achieve fabric gloss and excellent color fastness.
