From the military to civilians to celebrities, the mod coat is beloved! It is common amongst the “tsu” (the people of Japan) to call it a mod parka!
It is a well-known fact that the term “mod coat” was actually coined by the media. The term “mod coat” was coined by the media during the period when military-style coats with fur were in fashion, and Japanese women’s magazines began calling them “mod coats,” and the term became firmly established. However, the official name is “PARKA SHELL M-1951,” which is specified in the MIL standard used when procuring supplies for the U.S. military, so it is often called “mod parka” among the experts.
Mods Coat models are called ” M-65 ” in addition to ” M-51 “! Worn by Sekaowa, it became famous!
The origin of the item called “mod coat” is the “M-51” and “M-65” models. Since both of these coats are distinguished only by the year they were manufactured, it is important to keep in mind that there are other items such as field jackets in addition to the parka type. The “M-51” is generally known as the parka type and the “M-65” as the field jacket type.
The parka type “M-65” was worn in the promotional movie for “Dragon Night,” one of the hit songs by the Japanese band SEKAI NO OWARI, released in 2014. However, most people are probably still somewhat mistakenly aware that a mod coat = M-65.
The parka type “M-51” and “M-65” are extremely similar in shape, so it is said that it is difficult to distinguish the models at a quick glance. Although it is impossible to make a blanket statement because there are differences among individuals, they are often distinguished by the specifications of the hood joint, the presence or absence of epaulettes, the fur material, the design of the front top, and the number of front buttons.
