Parka Shell M-1951 (Model 220)

Since the beginning of the Cold War, countless M-51 parkas, useless to the U.S. Army and hardly worn, have been peddled in Western Europe. Affordable and practical at the same time, the rugged coats found particular appeal in England's mod scene. In the 60s, the working class aspired to dress in elegant wool suits, modeled after their noble Italian fashions. Unfortunately, the expensive suits got dirty on rides with the scooter, which belonged to the basic equipment of every mod, and so the expansive parka was thrown over twine and vehicle as protection. The "Parka Shell M-1951 (Model 220)" by TRMC was produced in 1951, the only year heavy satin was used instead of poplin.
