Women's winter park "Alaska"

Parks have become one of the leaders in sales in the range of outerwear in modern times. The classic version of the women's and men's winter parka is "Alaska". First, she appeared in the men's wardrobe, then took her rightful place in the women's.

The history of Alaska parks began in the 1950s in the United States of America. The military command of that time was faced with the task of equipping the army with high-quality warm clothing. An example for the creation of overalls for pilots was the jackets of the indigenous population of the North. They had an unusual design that allows you to keep warm for a long time. In addition, the natives impregnated them with fish oil so that the jackets acquired water-repellent properties.

The park was named "Alaska" after the name of the state in which the natives lived. The design of the parka was borrowed, and modern materials were used, capable of providing high heat-shielding functions. The jackets had a loose fit so as not to hamper the movement of the pilots. The parks were to the taste not only of the military, they began to be worn by ordinary Americans. Now these clothes are widely popular all over the world.

The classic model of the Alaska women's parka has a slightly fitted cut, length to the middle of the thigh and equipped with a hood with detachable fur. Polifil is used as a heater in the original model.The elbow zones of the jacket are reinforced with overlays, the sleeves are provided with hidden cuffs. The parka has four outer pockets and one inner pocket. Another pocket is located on the sleeve and is designed for a pen.

Modern versions of "Alaska" for women may differ in length, cut and degree of insulation. The length of the jacket can reach the line of the hips, approach the classic version or reach the knees. The cut of the jacket can be straight and fitted.

When choosing a parka, first of all, you should pay attention to what temperatures it is intended for. Often, manufacturers of outerwear in the production are guided by a warmer climate, characteristic of their latitudes. In addition, if a fur lining is provided on the park, then it should come unfastened. The fur on the hood should also be removed, which will make it possible to care for the product at home. The upper material of Alaska should be water-repellent.

When choosing a size, there may be some deviation from the usual ideas. Designers have recently become more and more inspired by the idea of ​​combining male and female in one image. The parka plays the role of a man protecting a fragile woman. Therefore, it can be looser and more voluminous than a fitted jacket.

Short parkas can be worn with long skirts, trousers and jeans.Mid-thigh parkas are easy to pair with midi-length skirts and wide leg trousers.
