However, our aim as always been to produce the best quality mod parka out there and not the cheapest :)

Price And Hood Options
There are 3 hood trim options to choose from:
Faux Fur £345 - A very nice faux fur trim as shown in photo's above.
Raccoon Fur £425 - For those who prefer real fur that looks the part.
Wolverine Fur £545 - Limited Availability | Not shown on the payment buttons. Please contact us if you require this fur hood option. Wolverine fur feels a little like wire compared to the softness of raccoon fur. We stay true to original M48's by using a thin strip which does not give the big fur look. The Wolverine fur option is for the purists and collectors out there after the true M48 parka look.
As per original M48 parka's. Wolverine fur was used by the U.S. Army when producing these fishtail parka's back in 1948/49. The fur is rare and very expensive. A single pelt can cost from £400 to £800. Frost will not form on wolverine fur, hence it's desirability and the reason why wolverine fur was used by the U.S. Army.

M48 Detachable Quilted Liner | Mulberry Silk
We have based the detachable liner on a rare Japanese quilted silk M48 liner that was produced in 1950. It is a thing of beauty. The U.S. occupied Japan after WW2, hence parka coats were produced in Japan to help with the Korean War. The detachable silk liners are a thing of beauty and ooze quality.
