This is an ECWCS (Extended Cold Weather Clothing System) Gen 1 Gore-Tex parka, a high-performance piece of equipment representative of the U.S. military in the 1990s. The size is MEDIUM-REGULAR.
This item is a 1996 contract model, as identified by the contract number "SPO100-96-D-4002." It is classified as a later-model ECWCS Gen1 and was widely used by the U.S. military as combat gear from the Gulf War through the late 1990s. The hood is on the smaller side.
The ECWCS is a next-generation cold-weather clothing system developed by the U.S. military in the 1980s. Unlike the heavy, bulky cold-weather gear of the past, it was a revolutionary system designed with layering in mind.It utilizes Gore-Tex material, which offers excellent waterproof and windproof performance, making it suitable for a wide range of climates, from cold regions to rainy conditions. It is known as the foundation of modern military wear.
As this is a late Gen 1 model, it reflects the minor specification changes seen in the early models, resulting in a highly refined design. It is packed with functionality honed in combat, including a large hood, underarm ventilation zippers, drawcords at the hem and waist, and Velcro cuffs.
The combination of Woodland camouflage and ECWCS remains highly popular today as a style emblematic of the U.S. military in the 1990s. In recent years, demand from the fashion scene has also been high, and it is acclaimed as a classic that combines practicality and design.
The size is Medium-Regular. This is a popular size that fits Japanese people well, and its appeal lies in the fact that it offers a balanced fit without being too oversized.
This piece retains the rugged aesthetic typical of military surplus while offering functionality that rivals modern outdoor wear. It is highly recommended not only as a practical item but also as a collectible piece of 1990s U.S. military gear.
