Snorkel parka, 1976


Snorkel parka, 1976
The parka was originally developed in the late 1940s for US military use because of its practical hardwearing properties. In different forms it has become a symbol of Mod and Indie subcultures as well as later associations with the ‘uncool’. Parkas were hugely popular for boys at school and are now considered vintage collectibles.
