FAQs
Is the parka machine washable?
Yes, but it is recommended to wash the shell and the liner separately on a delicate cycle using cold water.
Can I wear this in heavy rain?
The parka provides good wind and light weather protection, but for heavy, prolonged rain, you may want to apply a fabric waterproofing spray.
How do I attach the removable lining?
The liner typically attaches via a series of interior buttons or loops along the inner seams of the parka shell.
Is this parka true to size?
The M51 has a classic, loose military fit; if you prefer a slim look, you may want to consider sizing down.
What is the purpose of the fishtail?
The fishtail provides extra protection for the legs and can be tied around the thighs to keep the coat secure in windy conditions.
Troubleshooting
Liner buttons become loose
Reinforce the stitching on the attachment buttons using a heavy-duty needle and thread.
Drawstring cord gets stuck
Ensure the cord is not twisted inside the hem; gently pull the cord while maneuvering the toggles to release tension.
Zipper feels stiff
Apply a small amount of beeswax or dedicated zipper lubricant to the track to improve smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To configure your parka, simply button or unbutton the interior liner depending on current climate needs. Adjust the waist and hood toggles to secure the fit before heading out. When cleaning, ensure you remove the inner liner first. It is recommended to wash the shell on a gentle, cold cycle to preserve the fabric's integrity. Always hang dry your parka to prevent shrinkage, and avoid high-heat ironing directly on the seams. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew during long-term storage.
