Restock 2025
German WWII Parka reversible from "fall oakleaf" camouflage to white. During the winter of 1943-44, reversible fieldgray and "spring oak" uniforms had been issued- for the next winter, it was decided to change to oakleaf in "Fall" colors and to reinforce the elbows, knees and make minor changes to the hood. Thus, these appeared in the Fall of 1944.
ATF's Parkas: Our parkas were copied directly from my original examples. These are not copies of copies. I duplicated the German sizing patterns so they fit like the originals. The outer fabric is densely woven cotton poplin (originals were cotton, rayon or a blend), and the lining is high quality polar fleece. The buttons and waistband webbing are exact reproductions.

izing: Yes, these are oversized to allow for clothing to be worn underneath. Order your normal chest size.
Washing: Yes, they are washer/ dryer safe. As always, for least fade and longest life, wash in cold and hang dry. Shrinkage is 1" in the body and sleeves. (Washers and dryers will chip the paint on the buttons.)
