This item is in excellent condition. It has a very deep color. This product is a very rare M65 parka. Typically, those from the 1968-71 fiscal years have aluminum zippers, and those from later years have brass zippers, with only the final model using a YKK plastic zipper. However, this item has a copper Scovill zipper. The DPSC, DIR. OF MFG. (made by the US Army Supply Department) marking is a very rare point. See images 7 and 12. Even among items from the 1972 fiscal year, only those from the above manufacturer have copper zippers. Most of the items listed on Mercari have aluminum or brass zippers. ● Body (Shell): PARKA EXTREME COLD WEATHER ● Body (Shell): CONTRACT NO. 6043-72 ● Body (Shell): Cotton (80%), Nylon (20%) ■ Zipper: Copper zipper (made by SCOVILL / rack finish) / see relevant image Many Japanese people are looking for smaller sizes that fit them, but the M65 fishtail parka is designed to fit people between 170-180cm tall in all sizes, and the XS-XL size indicates the width. However, the length increases by about 2cm with each size increase. Condition: The color has not faded and is a deep color. Elasticity in the cuffs of both sleeves. Elasticity in the drawcord at the hem. Overall, it's in pretty good condition. The fact that the color hasn't faded is a high point. The snap buttons don't look bad, but some don't close. There is some dirt, see image 14. It's at a level that shouldn't be a problem for those accustomed to vintage clothing. Shell SIZE: Small-Regular Length 103cm Width 66cm Shoulder width 56cm Sleeve length 64cm Please note that there may be some errors due to amateur measurements. Liner 1973 fiscal year There are some loose threads, but I didn't mind because it's an inner layer. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. Please check the Mil-Spec. Hood 1983 fiscal year There are no particular problems to note. Please check the Mil-Spec. The color is the same as the shell.
