The military and workwear has been a big source of inspiration for our pieces, and for this occasion we took the M51 Fishtail Parka, one of the most iconic garments in the vintage military heritage, while we were sure to give it a new spicy and colourful twist.
The M51 Fishtail Parka is essentially a 2 in 1 garment. An outer piece meant to cover and protect and adetachable padded vest liner to provide extra insulation for cold weather conditions.
The Parka was adopted by the British Mod subculture in the late 1950´s as an essential piece of their lifestyle.
We selected a dry-waxed finish cotton canvas from a leading Scottish rain proof fabrics in a bold lizzard green colour.
And for the vest we came across a beautiful hand-woven cotton stripy fabric, made in India, and an Italian cotton-nylon lining.
The parka comes with a detachable vest for body insulating in colder seasons.
This is a stock product, available in very limited quantities.

Craftmanship

Companion Denim Southwest Parka selvedge denim are cut, sewn and finished by our small team of master makers.
Our workshop is located in the heart of Sabadell, a town with a rich tradition in textiles production, in the metropolitan area of Barcelona.
We use a mix of both vintage and modern sewing machines that provide the highest quality and most reliable stitchings for jeans making.
Companion denim is built on the values of quality, durability, honesty and respect for the environment.

Care

The outer garment (parka) doesn´t need any specific care or maintainance and it will hardly need any wash, similarly to the vest.
In the event the garments need to be washed, cold water is recommended, no bleach or chemicals, no tumble dry, and very low ironing temperature.
