Well, had an interesting one over Christmas when I dug out my old Mod parka and am trying to identify the exact model.

Have never known whether it was a 1948 (M48), 1951 (M51) or 1965 (M65) and thats not including the various editions with removable hoods and different styles of inner liner.
Who would have thought there were so many variants of this legendary coat?

Turns out it appears to be an early M51 (introduced in the Korean war) and was standard wear for US troops in cold or wet climates.
Value: appears to be around £350 mark and considering I paid £25 for it in 1979 its generated a good profit over the years (if i were to sell it)

Why Dull Club

Welcome to the Dull Club, where the thrills are minimal, but the enjoyment is maximum! We set up this club to celebrate the mind-numbingly beautiful art of being dull. Excitement? Overrated. We find joy in life's grey moments. Watch all the episodes of The Kardashians? Riveting. Watching grass grow? Edge-of-your-seat stuff. For us, dull is the new cool. We encourage all fellow dullards to embrace their wonderfully monotonous nature. Join us in finding excitement in the ordinary, delight in the mundane, and bliss in boredom. In the Dull Club, we prove that it's hip to be square!

Fodder of Dullness

Let's do some cool dull stuff.
