An iconic, weather-resistant 2-in-1 fishtail parka
Originally issued by the U.S. Army to infantrymen in 1951, the M-51 Fishtail Parka is an icon that has lived on in films, pop culture, and military surplus shops. Relwen rebuilt it from the ground up into one of the most weather-ready and versatile pieces in their collection. The jacket has two parts: a durable, weather-resistant shell that blocks wind and rain, and a detachable insulated liner for warmth and added wind protection. It’s faithful to the mission of the military-issued original, while being lighter, stronger, and offering greater protection from the elements.

About Relwen
There’s a certain familiarity to Relwen that reminds us of days spent paging through old Sears & Roebuck catalogs, lusting over lever-action rifles, brass compasses, and rugged outerwear. In a way, those things and more have shaped the modern Relwen collection, where classic Americana, a vintage hunting aesthetic, and modern technical upgrades all blend into perfectly considered menswear that will last you for years.
