Do you know Snow Parker?
The white fabric and the large and unique construction make it look like a designer brand coat, but it is an overcoat used by the military for camouflage in the snowy mountains.
When you think of camouflage, you think of greens and desserts, but as the name suggests, snow camouflage is supposed to hide on the snow, so pure white fabric is used.
Here, we will explain the outline of the snow parka and the US military snow parka of the 1950s handled by A'r139 Kamakura.

History of snow hoodies
Until now, snow parka has been adopted by the armed forces of each country, but the birthplace of snow parka is Sweden. As its purpose, it was born in the cold regions of Northern Europe.
In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Finland during the Winter War, and the Soviet Union invaded with its overwhelming strength and number of people. Finland, which had gained international support, gathered volunteers from all over the world, mainly the Swedish army, and overcame the powerful army of the Soviet Union and won the victory.
At this time, a unit called a ski soldier, who used skis to move around freely on the snow, was active. It seems that skiing expanded the range of action and attacked the place where the defense behind was weak, cut off the supply of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet soldiers froze to death, leading to the defeat.
At that time, the Swedish volunteers wore a snow hoodie made of pure white cotton called M40. It was a model that could be said to be the prototype of the later military snow parka.
The Swedish Army subsequently adopted the M62 Snow Parker, which became a famous model that could be associated with the Swedish Army.
Nowadays, not only original snow hoodies from various countries such as the Swedish army, but also pullover anorak type and original black dyed products are popular.

U.S. military snow hoodie
The origin of the snow hoodie was the Swedish army, but the US military also adopted the snow hoodie.
It is a model called M-1950 that has been adopted by the US military since 1950, and it is a snow parka that is outstandingly cool with a pure white cotton material and a fishtail parka type silhouette.
This was also not for warmth, but for wearing on top of the snow to hide yourself.

The M-1950, which was used in the 1950s, is made of 100% cotton white fabric. In the models after 1970, those containing nylon material will become the mainstream.
The former 100% cotton model is attractive for its rough and silky feel, so if you are in the spring / summer season, you should not hesitate to choose this model.

Since it is white, there may be a concern that stains will be noticeable, but if it is a 100% cotton model, it is easy to handle because it can be removed cleanly by using a bleaching agent such as OxiClean.
Also, although some people may find it difficult to coordinate the snow hoodie due to its unique details, the white body allows you to wear it in a good atmosphere regardless of the clothes you wear inside.
