Product Overview
A cold-weather jacket is more useful when you can adjust it as conditions change. The Rothco M-51 Fishtail Parka pairs a 100% cotton outer with a polyester button-in liner, giving you added warmth when you need it and the option to remove the liner for milder weather. Its distinctive fishtail back, adjustable fit, and military-style details make it suitable for everyday outerwear or a field-oriented loadout.
Adjust the coverage, not just the warmth
Drawstrings at the hood, waist, and bottom let you change how the parka sits around your clothing. You can draw the hood closer around your head, bring in the waist, or tighten the lower opening to help limit drafts. Adjustable wrist cuffs also let you control the sleeve openings—a useful detail when wearing gloves or changing the layers underneath.
The front closes with a brass zipper, while a snap-up storm flap covers the zipper opening. That extra layer over the closure helps reduce direct exposure to wind along the front of the jacket. At the rear, the snap-up back flap lets you alter the fishtail configuration and provide ventilation when you want less coverage.
Military styling with useful everyday details
Button-down epaulets give the shoulders a traditional service-style appearance. Two front flap pockets provide covered storage for small essentials, keeping frequently used items close without requiring a separate bag. Together with the fishtail shape, these details give the jacket a recognizable military look without relying on decorative extras.

For chilly airsoft outings, outdoor downtime, or daily wear, the liner and fit adjustments let you tailor the jacket to your clothing and conditions. When choosing your size, consider the layers you plan to wear beneath it; the drawstrings adjust the shape, but choosing enough room for those layers is still important.
