Looking at buying a Parka, considered military surplus, trying to get a higher quality version of this:

That can last me through winter, and hopefully winters to come. Any recommendations and also military surplus fits.

M51 military parka might be a solution

go to gun shows

I bought a vintage Vietnam era one, quality is fantastic and blows away modern production

I paid like 40$ and the tag was like 60$. prices vary but its comparable when you look at cost/quality for new production

I hear the best stuff made today, in terms of durability, is German or British.

Is this worth the $25 CAD, and if so what should I pair it with?

Why do people think surplus is amazing quality if you take a look at the stitching and actual patterns they're fucking terrible lmao the main thing they have going for them is durability but if that's the way you determine "quality" then you're a knob who shouldn't be posting on a fashion board

Are the Bundeswehr parkas actually overplayed? There's this thread from 2014 which portrays them as such, but I'm not sure if the meme has died enough to make this wearable.

On another hand, what would you pair with pic related?

visible zipper on the top is shit, you are gonna wear a hoodie underneath it not attach one to it. shitty velcro and the army thing on the arm need to be removed.

Bought this one years ago, never managed to wear it, while the sleeve length is right everything else is to big for my frame. I don't know what to do with it, I initially bought it for when I would live in the countryside but it's not going to happen soon, so it's useless unless I go for a dealer-core / weirdowave look

why don't you just wear it oversized ? Looks like a good cop imo, if you're slim / skinny then you should be able to pull it off
