Product In Focus: CP Company Fishtail Parka | December 2017

The C.P. Company Fishtail Parka is in focus this week and is an iconic piece designed to protect against ominous Autumn conditions. Part of the Autumn Winter 2017 C.P. Company collection, this parka is crafted from a synthetic outer shell and a membrane bonded to an inner polar fleece lining (for those chilly days out and about!)

But where did the fishtail parka jacket originate? As with many C.P. Company jacket styles, the men's parka is indeed military-inspired. During the early 1950s, the US and British military experienced extreme weather related hardship during the Korean War and needed warmer uniforms that could be both flexible, water resistant, and warming. Thus, the field jacket and park were created, serving as functional garments for militaries all over the world. The field jacket and snorkel parka were later evolved, creating a garment that could see its wearer through both hot and cold climates and terrains, thus the fishtail parka was born.

C.P. Company Fishtail Parka

The weight of this jacket is a combination between sweatshirt and thickly layered outerwear, making this soft shell parka the perfect companion for questionable climates. Made for layering over sweats or suits, this designer parka jacket is certainly versatile.

Featuring 2 flip pockets with signature lens sleeve compartment, this cp company parka will keep your belongings safe without adding bulk. Button and zip fastening combined with the classic hip length cut makes for a flattering fit for every individual.

Features of this men's parka include:

Cuff button fastening which allows for comfortable fit no matter the temperature.

Button & zip placket funnel neck and peaked hood create a characteristic tailored fit without being too claustrophobic like many jacket collars.

Rear fishtail cutout is combined with a drawcord for style and function; adjust hem for all weather conditions, wet or dry, hot or cold.

The thick lining of this parka is breathable so there’s no “sweating it” when layered appropriately.

A soft shell outer makes this parka weather-resistant.

This C.P. Company Fishtail Parka is available in khaki, a classic colour that can be dressed up or down no matter the occasion.
