geo said:Heh.... still have my old 53 pat Parka. Full nylon shell on the outside and "borg" lining on the inside made it an easy choice. Throw it in the washer, throw it in the dryer & you were good to go. (nogo anywhere near an airfield)
Had many a newwbie come up to me and ask - what country it came from & where they could find one?
Matt_Fisher said:I'll second that. The 'wool flannel shirt' was my field smock/patrolling jacket from October through April.
I look at this piece of kit as the 'original' softshell jacket. It was warm, yet breathable to allow sweat to evaporate, but the wool was so tightly woven, it was pretty windproof. Repelled water like a champ, although snow would stick to it a bit. Very quiet, yet abrasion resistant. Also, it was somewhat fire retardant, and didn't melt if burnt. If we had an unlimited raw materials budget, I'd love to have a batch of that wool fabric dyed in Cadpat TW and AR and done into a modernized design, i.e. more weatherproof collar, pit zips for ventilation, and better pockets.
I just use mine for shoveling the walk & keep it in the trunk for trips to the country.TCBF said:- Parka, Extreme Cold Weather, 1951? I gave mine to a military museum!

AN/PRC 77 set AKA prick 77 (as I called it), I miss you.
geo said:Ahhh.... remember the days when you'd prepare your orders on the back of a pack of smokes?
