The US Army Fishtail Parka Size Large, dated 1988, is an unissued example of the cold weather outerwear used by the United States military. This parka features the characteristic fishtail design, with a split and drawstring-adjustable rear hem intended to improve insulation and mobility. Constructed from durable olive drab nylon-cotton fabric, it is equipped with a full front zipper and button storm flap, adjustable cuffs, and a drawstring waist and hood for fit personalization and protection against harsh weather conditions. The interior is designed to accept a button-in liner, although the liner is not included with this offering unless specifically stated. Produced in 1988, this parka reflects the late Cold War period uniform standards. “Unissued” indicates that the garment shows no signs of prior use or wear. This item is suitable for collectors and researchers interested in late 20th-century US Army field gear and cold weather clothing developments.
