Our new M-51 replica parka is finally ready! Made by Houston, one of the earliest militaria reproducers in Japanese history. They're a real step up in quality and authenticity.

Very close reproduction of the now super rare originals. The M51 parka was a replacement for the M48, and was developed as a response to the cold conditions encountered in the Korean theatre. The wide availability of army surplus made the M51 a favourite of young mods looking to protect their suits while scootering. Our replica is very close in shape and colour to the originals, comes complete with an attached hood, a quilted removable lining and adds a hidden storm cuff for extra protection in cold and wet weather. Please note these parkas are very oversized, most people come down a size unless they want a super roomy fit.

These parkas also have a party piece! The whole lining can be buttoned out and removed so you can still wear the shell in warmer weather - or the lining itself doesn't look half bad on its own when turned inside out.

  • Roomy fit, most people size down one or two sizes
  • Close match to the original OG-107 colour
  • Synthetic fur lining with quilted sleeves
  • Button-out lining
  • Attached hood
  • Hidden storm cuff

These parkas are a close replica of original M-51 US Army parkas, and as a result are very roomy. Don't be surprised if you need to take 2 sizes down from your normal size!
