1960s Woolrich Talon-Zip Snorkel Parka (Real Fur Trim)
This is a true vintage 1970s Woolrich down parka, complete with its original snorkel hood and, what I suspect is, a fox fur trim. Heavy, functional, and made for serious cold, this coat is built in the tradition of American workwear that valued durability over fashion—but its visual presence today is undeniable.
The deep navy blue outer shell is made of tough nylon with a subtle matte finish, padded with thick down fill throughout the body and sleeves. The hood is fully insulated and framed by a plush fox fur ruff, a detail that not only adds warmth but speaks to the utilitarian luxury of mid-century cold-weather design. Storm flap, large snap pockets, heavy-duty zipper—every detail is here, intact, and built to last.
This isn’t the kind of coat you see on racks anymore. The proportions, the ruggedness, the weight of it—it’s all distinctly vintage, with no modern equivalent that captures the same authenticity. Whether you're wearing it for sub-zero practicality or styling it as a grail-level outerwear piece, this jacket delivers.
Woolrich was one of the few American companies making high-performance cold-weather gear that could stand up to the worst winters. And when they made these snorkel parkas, they weren’t cutting corners. The materials, the stitching, the fit—this was built to outlive its owner. And nearly fifty years later, it still has plenty of life left.
Tagged Medium. Measures 25.5×33.5.
Flaws - Fur on one side of the hood is thin and looks like it was cut a little bit, there is a part of the jacket that looks like fabric glue was used to hold it together but it’s hard to tell.
Perfect for collectors of functional American vintage, heritage outerwear enthusiasts, or anyone who wants a cold-weather coat that actually performs. These originals are becoming increasingly rare, especially with full fur hoods and solid wearability.
