The M-51 parka is a legendary piece of military outerwear, originally introduced as an upgrade to the M-48 pullover parka used in World War II. Designed to withstand the harsh winter conditions of the Korean War, this parka became a staple for U.S. Army officers and personnel.
Faithfully recreated by Buzz Rickson’s, known for their meticulous reproductions of military garments, this M-51 parka maintains all the essential details of the original, including:
Oversized fit for layering over liners and cold-weather gear.
Rubber strap adjuster belt on the cuffs to improve insulation.
Wool-lined pockets for extra warmth and comfort.
A true military classic, this Made in Japan reproduction perfectly balances functionality, durability, and style. Whether you're wearing it for everyday use or as a collector’s piece, the M-51 remains one of the most iconic military parkas ever created.
