SEABEES US Navy Liner JP057YN Fishtail Replica Reproduction

This is a 3-WAY fishtail parka that can be used from now until early spring.
YMCLKY is an original brand of Sea Bees (Yamamoto Co., Ltd.) in Kyoto.
It is currently sold for 17,765 yen on the official online shop.

There is no drawcord for the hem.
There is some fraying in the stitching of the liner.

I have worn various fishtail parkas, and I think the liner is on the thicker side.


Below is an excerpt from the official online store:

This is a replica of the US military M-65 parka. It is a recommended military parka that can be styled both casually and toughly. It was originally worn as an outer layer over a field jacket, so the size is on the larger side. The inner liner is removable, so it can be worn in three seasons: spring, autumn, and winter. The hood on the collar can be removed, but the fur on the hood cannot be removed. In the mid-1960s, the US military made significant changes to its equipment. They replaced the traditional cotton-based materials with synthetic fibers such as nylon and polyester to reduce the weight of equipment and clothing and improve all-weather performance. The M65 field parka was adopted as the successor to the M51 field parka. The basic structure is the same, but several improvements have been made. The main ones include changing the integrated hood to a detachable one, and changing the hood itself to a larger one designed for helmet wear. (Combined with the M65 field jacket) Also, the heavy wool pile liner, which was the biggest drawback of the M51 field parka, was abolished and replaced with a lightweight quilted liner. The epaulets were also abolished. With these improvements, it was adopted for over 30 years, from the late 1960s to the 1990s.
