Added 2024-01-30 11:00:13 +0000 UTCwerk lewks (spelling words that way is probably considered vintage at this point. also cringe but this is actually what I wore to work today) A Korean War Army top (officially called an M-51 Cold Weather Field Top). It’s heavy, stiff wool and oversized for me, so I just threw it on over some denim and a bra. Also my space jewelry (thank you very much to y’all who keep sending me gifts from my Throne wishlist! 💋) Anyway, the Korean War is oft overlooked since it’s sandwiched between the romanticized era of WWII and the iconic political, social and fashion movements during the Vietnam War. That said, the Korean War started soon after WW2, as the Japanese occupation of Korea ended, with North Korea propped up by the then-Soviet Union and South Korea by the United States. By 1950 war broke out and continued for 3 years. The M-51 style was so effective at keeping soldiers comfortable despite unfavorable weather that production continued until the 1990s.
