"Just a quick email to say a big Thankyou for getting the parka here so quickly for a birthday present, after chatting on the phone. Fantastic looking piece of kit and a brilliant service from you.! Well done and thanks again, he's going to be well chuffed."
All the best, Rob Holgate UK
"Thrilled, Spectacular, Awesome"
"Thank you for all your help with finding me an original M-1951 Parka. The package arrived today much sooner than expected (only took three days to cross the pond). When I opened the box, I was thrilled. As describe, the parka and liner were in near unissued condition. In fact, they were spectacular! The Wolf fur on the detachable hood is awesome and really adds character to the parka. Please tell your refurbished they did one heck of a job. Finally, the advice you gave me regarding sizing was spot on and the parka fits exactly as desired."

"Brilliant"
Received my M-1951 Parka today.It fits perfectly for my requirements, i.e. to wear it over my business suit, to commute to work on my Scoot, just as we discussed and you promised.
It was more than I wanted to pay originally, but for a piece of history, born around the same time as me, it is worth every penny, and indeed more, (which I never ever admit)
Putting it on transports me to a different time and place, the fondly remembered past, recapturing some of my happy adolescent memories.
My wife will kill me for spending our hard earned, but , I can tell you, it is worth it. "Brilliant"
Thanks

Where does your fur come from ?
All our fur comes from legally culled north american and canadian wolves. We do not buy any illegaly obtained furs. Ever !!
How did I get into this ?
I have been a collector of these for
over 20 years now and this website
came about through what can only be
described as organic growth. As interest
and demand for these grew I had more
and more people asking me if I could
sell them or help them get vintage
and classic fishtail
parkas.
So, I decided to put my sourcing skills
to the test and offer these rare and
hard to find items to all those struggling
to find them. The result was fishtailparkas.com,
I hope you like it :)
Please Note: we do not deal in reproductions
and are in no way associated with the german dealer fishtailparkas.de,

"Fast and Reliable Service"
"Thanks Kane for a fast and reliable service. My parka (with wolf fur hood) arrived safe and sound and looks great. Also, your recommendations on sizing were spot on - the small is definitely large enough! I can't wait for the cold weather to arrive.

"Well done to all at Fishtail Parkas!"
"I gave you a pretty tough challenge and you came up trumps!I called with the order on Thursday pm requesting delivery for Tuesday am - just to make it interesting you had to also complete the real fur switch!!
Well you completed your mission perfectly as the coat arrived about 9.30 am on Tuesday.
Top job & a top coat - I couldn't have asked for more!"
