The official name of this hoodie is Parka, Field, Cotton, OD, commonly known as the M-43 hoodie. Assuming that the pile liner is worn with a layer system, the outer shell has a fairly loose silhouette due to the pullover type attachment and detachment. This pullover layer system is very similar to the Type D-2 used by the Army Air Corps for mechanics during the war. The front has a kangaroo pocket with a flap, and the hood cord and hem cord are fastened with a wooden stopper carved into a ball shape. In addition, the hood has a snap that can be fastened vertically and horizontally.

This parka, which is officially named as “Parka, Field, Cotton, O.D.”, is commonly known as the M-43 parka. As it was designed to be able to wear with pile liner, it was intentionally made to fit loose. The layer system applied to the M-43 parka closely resembles the Type D-2 that was adopted for mechanics of the United States Army Air Corps during World War II. The distinctive features of this parka include kangaroo pockets with flaps, and the drawing cord with ball-shaped wood stopper, and adjustable hood with snaps.
