Sm Wholesale Large Early Made Model Repro Of A German Wwii Elite Camo Parka
THIS IS A SM WHOLESALE PARKA THAT WAS MADE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. IT IS A REPLICA OF A GERMAN WWII REVERSIBLE ELITE CAMO PARKA. IT IS A LARGE SIZE, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF THE GERMANS WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED IT A SIZE II OR A SIZE III. I'M THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS EXTREMELY WELL MADE PARKA. THE GUY THAT BOUGHT IT ORIGINALLY SAID THAT HE BOUGHT IT DIRECTLY FROM SMW AND USED IT WHILE RE-ENACTING AS A GERMAN SOLDIER FROM WWII.
IT HAS BEEN HANGING IN MY CLOSET AND USED AS A VERY REALISTIC MILITARY DISPLAY SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. IT NEVER REALLY GETS COLD HERE WHERE I LIVE, SO I NEVER WORE IT.
THIS PARKA IS VERY SOLID AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY ODORS, AND COMES FROM MY SMOKE FREE HOME. I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF PEOPLE OVER THE YEARS THINK IT WAS AN ORIGINAL, IT IS MADE THAT WELL, AND IT IS WORN IN FROM ACTUAL USE LIKE A REAL PARKA.
THE PARKA DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF ISSUES (BUT THEY DO NOT AFFECT THE PURPOSE THAT THIS PARKA WAS MADE FOR). THERE IS A RIP ON THE RIGHT CHEST THAT IS APPROX.1.5 INCHES IN LENGTH. IT COULD BE REPAIRED EASILY, I JUST NEVER HAD IT REPAIRED, SEE PIC. THE RIP IS ONLY IN THE TOP CAMO FABRIC, NOT THE BLANKETS INSIDE, OR THE WHITE SIDE. THERE IS A SMALL HOLE ON THE RIGHT CHEST/SHOULDER AREA ON THE WHITE SIDE, SEE PIC. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL SPOTS/STAINS ON THE RIGHT BACK UPPER CHEST AREA.
THERE IS EVIDENCE OF THIS PARKA HAVING BEEN USED, BUT NOT ABUSED. THERE ARE SOME STAINS, BUT NOTHING REALLY BAD. IN FACT, THEY MAY WASH OUT, I HAVE NEVER WASHED OR TRIED TO CLEAN IT. THERE IS A LOT OF LIFE LEFT IN THIS JACKET! THE BACK AND SHOULDER AREAS ARE WORN FROM THE GUY WEARING A RUCKSACK. THIS JACKET WAS MADE FROM 8 OUNCE FABRIC THAT IS PART COTTON AND PART RAYON LIKE THE ORIGINALS, I THINK IT WAS 60% COTTON AND 40% RAYON. IT HAS DOUBLE LAYERS OF WOOL BLANKET INSIDE LIKE THE ORIGINALS. IT HAS ALL OF IT'S UREA BUTTONS, WHITE BUTTONS AND HOOD AND HEM STRINGS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND WAIST BELT. THE GUY THAT I BOUGHT THE PARKA FROM SAID THAT IT WAS AN EARLY MADE SMW WITH ORIGINAL UREA BUTTONS...THE PARKA IS HEAVY LIKE AN ORIGINAL. IN MY OPINION, SMW MAKES THE BEST AND MOST REALISTIC PARKAS ON THE PLANET! LENGTH (NOT INCLUDING THE HOOD) = 29. BEFORE YOU WIN THIS ITEM.
