This is an early 1968 M-65 parka with an aluminum zipper.

The size label indicates:
This will be PARKA, MAN'S, M-65. From here on, basically...
The PARKA will be changed to EXTREAM COLD WEATHER.

The instruction label is
PARKA, MAN'S, ARCTIC, M-65
Similarly, this is the original notation.

The size is
REGULAR - MEDIUM

Finding deadstock items that meet all the criteria in this era is extremely difficult.

The appeal of the aluminum zipper really stands out in the M-65 Parka, a model whose design remained unchanged even in later models.

This is a perfectly crisp garment that hasn't been washed.
