Hello, this is Seongseong! This fellow is an original Field Parka, size Medium (M). The manufacturer is: Shell: '76 SO-SEW Liner: '72 GIBRALTAR Personally, I feel that SO-SEW manufacturers are most commonly seen in the early 3rd generation (82~85). This one is a 2nd generation (mid-70s) SO-SEW. (Large rectangular tag) -- So, this fellow was manufactured in '76, making it 50 years old as of 2026! Generally, SO-SEW shell manufacturers are often seen produced in '82~'85, but based on my personal experience, I suspect this might be from the very earliest period (2nd generation) of SO-SEW manufacturing (mid-70s). Usually, 2nd generation (70s) logo tags are mostly horizontal rectangular styles. (WYNN, VANDERBILT, etc.) As it transitioned to the 3rd generation, the tags changed to vertical rectangular styles (SO-SEW, CARBONHILL, etc.) A characteristic of the 2nd generation rectangular tag is that it is larger than the 3rd generation. -- The zipper is a General serrated square zipper style (refer to photos). -- **Condition** Overall, the fabric is excellent without any color fading. (A+++ grade) There is some signs of use, but overall it is excellent. (A+++ grade) The wrist banding condition is firm and excellent, aside from signs of use. Both sides (9/10) Due to use, there is white aging characteristic of the fabric on the waist seam and hem drawstring section. (A+++ grade) Refer to photos There is a slight crack (aging) on the bottom right of the front (left in photos). (A++ grade) Refer to photos There is slight aging (washing) near the pocket on the front left (right in photos). (A+++ grade) Refer to photos There is a very small scratch above the pocket on the front left (right in photos). (A++ grade) Refer to photos Personally, I think it is fine to consider these as non-existent. Stains and scratches are common conditions characteristic of this fabric. -- Aside from signs of use and slight aging, it is in excellent mint condition. I would give it an "A+++ grade" - *Due to photo upload limits, I can send more if needed.* -- *Material Composition (COMPOSITION) * There is a change in the tags (TAG) as it moves into the mid-2nd generation (70s). The care tag (CARE TAG) disappears from the bottom right of the front, and from '74 onwards (based on experience), the small horizontal rectangular tag (TAG) changed in size to a vertical rectangular shape (in the mid-70s, the size is large, such as SO-SEW, CENTER, etc.). From the vertical tags, the blend of COTTON and NYLON began to be listed. The ratio varies from 50:50 to 80:20 depending on the manufacturer (year). For used products, it will vary depending on the degree of fading, and even for deadstock, there may be slight differences; even if produced in the same year, each item may vary. Based on deadstock, the (70s) versions are slightly more saturated. (Personal experience) Therefore, I personally recommend not worrying too much about the material composition, but purchasing based on the actual item, condition, color, and manufacturer (nameplate, zipper, etc.) that you desire. -- Please feel free to inquire even if you do not purchase. I will take as many photos as necessary. ------- Even if it is authentic, I do not sell or collect items with lost tags (personal preference).
