i love military shit. just picked up a fishtail parka. best ever.

edit: by the way fuck those chinese repro companies like rothco etc. make ma-1s that look like a bag of dick

post fishtail parka pics!!

fuckin love fishtail parkas..

i'm on an eternal quest to find a slim m51 vintage/repro parka

but, vintage/repro = not slim

or the slim ones are 'military inspired' with wierd details

ecwcs parkas too :o

the navy is so dope, but alpha always has some wierd logo stamped on the chest which i hate

never really seen in navy before..

a slim repro m51 fishtail does NOT exist... yet :(.... hell not even an m65.

i got a size S and it fits how it should. VERY spacious. designed for full gear underneath + field jacket + helmet. but i love it

is alpha a legit military provider? i never really liked their renditions of things...

pics to come.

that ma-1 looks particaruly good there but i saw an earlier seasons model in store and the fit didnt strike me as that good (too puffy) and the details were too boring (its just a regular fit item basically)

that being said id gladly take one on heavy markdown

I wanted it pretty badly, problem is, I've always had trouble fitting well in rick, and the price is just too high. Going to be pretty happy with my TOJ one when it comes though.

yes they are but be aware they're like 5 manufacturers in one:

1. actual mil-spec gear contracted by and sold to the military

2. replicas of (1) that are manufactured for sale to civilians

3. reproductions of past milspec designs for civilian use

4. random in-house "military inspired" fashion line

5. contracted work from fashion labels like supreme and stussy

it is not uncommon for military suppliers to do #2, however some will cut corners. alpha claims they do #2 to the same spec as #1 which i can't directly verify but if you care about fabric type, snaps and zipper quality they are generally well put together.

granted their 1-4 tend to be fuller cut since their primary audience doesn't overlap, say, with TOJ
