Pattern Parka
Deutsch
The parka is a long anorak or also coat with hood. It is often lined or has a usable lining and often a separate hood to button on. The Inuit in the Arctic developed the first version of the Parkas we know today. The name “parka” comes from the language Inuktitut (parqaaq) and means “heat”. The women made insulating short coats from animal skins and made them waterproof by coating them with fish oil. The parka, also called Alaska, found its way into the US Army and the Bundeswehr in the 1940s, establishing itself worldwide as a winter garment. Design became a big trend in the 70s and 80s. In this article you get an insight into the Parka models by means of the technical drawing, the detailed description and the size table. In this article we also suggest suitable fabrics for sewing.
