A versatile classic.
The Parka has outgrown its outdoor origins to push the boundaries of modern-men’s fashion; it is now the ultimate seasonal staple.
Originally designed for the Canadian Inuits, the cold-weather essential evolved to form the Fishtail Parka in 1950’s America. Incorporated in a host of outdoor-inspired aesthetics and more casually courtesy of the Gallagher brothers, the Fishtail Parka is once again at the forefront of the seasonal coat selection as we head deep in to winter 2015.
Representing this, the Monitaly Olive Short Fishtail Parka heads up Edit #28; showing you how to style your Parka this season.
