If it weren’t for the title, we wouldn’t have known this was an adidas Originals by Originals, which is one of the reasons why we love it. The second being, it’s from Kazuki Kuraishi’s collection for O by O. The third being, it’s based off one of our favorite military-inspired jackets, the M-51 fishtail parka. For those that don’t know, fishtail comes from the fact that the coat is longer at the back than it is at the front. And it’s MOD because in the 60′s, this style of jacket became popular in UK mod subculture because of their practicality, quality and relative cheapness making them ideal for surviving UK weather on their scooters. Other features on this Mod Parka include: Diaplex Waterproof construction, taped seams, Kazuki bat print liner, peaked hood and leather toggle adjusters. With the M-51′s roots dating back to 1951 and outfitting the U.S. Army during the Korean War, this jacket is as fit for the elements as it is at war with New York cabbies. Available here.
