Parka or anorak is a type of mantle with a hood, often coated with fur or artificial fur. The Caribou Inuit discovered this type of clothing, originally made of caribou or seal skin, for hunting and kayaking in the cool Arctic. Some Inuit anoraks require regular coating with fish oil to maintain their water resistance.
The words anorak and parka have been used interchangeably, but they are a rather different outfit. Strictly speaking, anorak is a waterproof jacket, hooded, pull-over without front opening, and sometimes a string around the waist and cuff, and a jacket is a long coat of cold weather, usually filled with down or very warm synthetic fibers, and with a padded hood fur.

Etymology
The word anorak is derived from the word Kalaallisut (Greenland) annoraaq . It did not appear in English until 1924; the original definition was "beaded items worn by women or Greenland brides in the 1930s". In the early 1950s it was made of nylon, but turned into poplin in 1959, when it was featured in Vogue magazine as a fashion item. In 1984, The Observer used the term to refer to the type of person who wears it and then, in the UK, is sometimes used as a slightly degrading term.
The word parka comes from Nenets. In the Aleutian Islands the word simply means "animal skin". It first incorporated a written record of English in a 1625 work by Samuel Purchas.
The Inuit who speaks Inuktitut uses parka and has various terms associated with them as follows:

Amauti
The amauti (also astute or amauric , plural amautiit ) is a jacket worn by Inuit women from eastern Canada arctic. Until about two years, the boy leaned on the mother's back on the bed, a built-in baby bag just under the hood. The pockets are large and comfortable for babies. Mothers can bring children from back to front for breastfeeding or for elimination functions without exposure to the elements. This traditional Inuit Arctic parkar is designed to keep children warm and safe from frostbite, wind and cold, also helps to develop the bond between mother and child.
< span id = "Snorkel_parka"> N-3B ("snorkel" or "snorkel") parka
The original snorkeling parka (USAF N-3B parka, which is 3/4 long and has a full hood, mounted N-2B parka that is the same length as the waist and has a split hood attached) is developed in America States in the early 1950s for military use, especially for crew members placed in very cold areas, were designed for temperatures up to -60 ° F (-51 ° C). Originally made with DuPont black silk the outer silk nylon flight and the coating was padded with a woolen type material blanket until the mid-1970s when padding was converted into polyester blobs making the jacket lighter and warmer. The outer shell is also converted into a wicker-green nylon blend cotton, with 80-20, 65-35, and 50-50 percentage being used at various times.
It gets its common name "snorkel parka" because its hood can be zipped right just leaving a small (or snorkeling) tunnel for the wearer to look out. This is very effective in very cold and windy weather despite having additional responsibilities that seriously limit the field of sight and hearing. Hoods (Vietnam-era) previously had genuine ruffs; the newer version uses synthetic fur. The original manufacturer of this parka for the government includes Skyline, Southern Athletic, Lancer, Greenbrier, Workroom For Designers, Alpha, and Avirex.
The basic N-3B parka design is copied and sold to the civil market by many manufacturers with varying degrees of quality and loyalty to the original government specifications. The scarcity of military parkas is often available for relatively low prices online and in surplus stores; they compare favorably with extreme-cold civilian parkas of all kinds because of their strong construction, designed for combat conditions, and warmth, at (usually) a much lower price.
The civil version of the 1970s/1980s was made in many colors - navy blue, green, brown, black, maroon, gray, royal blue, sky blue and bright orange. Most have an orange diamond-covered layer, though very small numbers have alternative colored layers such as yellow, pale blue, and green. While still producing parkas with military standards, Alpha Industries has recently adopted a slimmer orange and fit layer when producing the VF59 parka model which is now more popular than the military version.
There are many popular brands in addition to many unbranded versions, each with its own unique features. For example Campri/Campari branded people have pocket covers that open up in the opposite direction in warmer pockets. The popular brands available are Lord Anthony, Campri, Campari, Wakefields, Keynote, Skyways, Brutus, Fosters, JonJo, Crossbow, and Milletts.
In the late 1980s, snorkeling parka became linked in the UK with trainspotters, who were supposed to wear it, giving birth to the term slang there anorak .
In Europe, snorkeling parkas began to gain popularity in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Fishtail parka
The fishtail parka was first used by the United States Army in 1950 during the Korean War. After the end of the Second World War, US troops recognized the need for a new cold weather combat system, which produced four main styles of parka fishtail: EX-48, M-48, M-51 and M-65. M stands for military, and the number is the standard year. The EX-48 model is the first prototype or "trial" precursor for everything. The M-48 then became the first actual model of the actual production fishtail fishtail after the pattern was standardized on 24 December 1948.
The name fishtail is derived from a back-tailed fish tail extension that can be folded between the legs, like Knochensack, and keeps using the pinch connectors to add wind proofing. Fishtail stays in front for warmth or folded on the back to increase freedom of movement when needed.
EX-48 parka has a characteristic because it has a left arm pocket and made of thin poplin, only later M-48 parka production made of heavier cotton type satay. The EX-48 also has a very lightweight and lightweight thin glass fiber liner, the M-48 has a thick wool pile liner with an integral hood liner made of wool. Both can be distinguished from other parka types by using an arm bag. This is dropped for M-51 and so on. The ruff feathers on the hood are also mounted on EX-48/M-48 shells and wolves, coyotes or often wolves. M-48 parka is expensive to produce and therefore only in production for about a year. The bags were lined with wool inside and outside. Handcuffs have two buttons to secure the user's wrist tightly. The mass-produced M-51 parka then has only one cuff button. Liner has a built in chest pocket that is again unique for M-48 parka.
The next revision is the M-51, made because the M48 is so good and of high quality that it is too expensive to mass produce.
The outdoor hood of the M-51 Fishtail Parka is an integral part of the parka shell, additional hood liner and also a button on the main liner making the M-51 as 3 versatile parkas. The idea behind this 3-part system is to enable a more customizable parka that enables easier shell removal because the hood feather is in the removable hood liner, not mounted on the shell as in the M-48. It also allows both liners to be buttoned or depending on the temperature and therefore warmth is required. It's also cheaper than the M-48 for mass production. Initial M-51 is made of heavy cotton cotton, the same material as M-48. Then the M-51 revision is poplin based. The upholstery is then also revised from the heavy "wet weight" wool pile into lightweight wool or wool ornaments that are easier to dry and much lighter. The decorative coatings are built from mohair and are designed using a double loop system that resist cold weather.
M-65 fishtail parka has a removable hood and is the last revision. It features a removable layered liner made of lightweight nylon/polyester batting which is a modern synthetic material. The M-65 fishtail parka was first produced in 1968. The Parkas featured synthetic fur on a hood after protests from the fur lobby. As a result, only a hood for this parka was made in 1972 and for a year then had real feathers.
Designed primarily for combat troops such as infantry, they should be worn over other layers of clothing; alone, the parka fishtail is not enough to protect against the "cold cold" condition (ie below about -10Ã, Â ° C). Thus all the fishtail parka is great because they are designed to be worn over armor and other layers.
In the 1960s England, the fishtail parka became a symbol of the mod subculture. Due to their practicality, the cheapness and availability of army surplus shops, the jacket was seen as the ideal outfit to fend off the elements and protect the clever underwear of fat and dirt while in a mod vehicle of choice, scooters. Its place in popular culture is confirmed by the photos of the mod newspaper wearing a jacket during the Holiday Bank riots of the 1960s.
Cagoule
A cagoule is an English English term for light, weather anorak or jacket, usually unlined and sometimes knee-length. Cagoule can be rolled into a very compact package and carried in a purse or pocket. It was created by Noel Bibby of Peter Storm Ltd in the early 1960s. It may have a full-zippered front opening, or pull overhead like an original anorak and close with short studs or short zips, has an integral hood, and elastic or shrill cuffs. In some versions, when rolled up, the hood doubles as a bag in which the rest of the mantle is pushed. It became very popular in the United Kingdom during the 1970s.
