What parka did legendary Dick Proenneke wear?

Dunno, but he was getting his supplies from the Sears catalogue, so maybe he got his parka there.

Now I am going to have to dig that DVD out of the closet and re-watch the movie.

Could be a 70s-era LLBean puffer coat

With respect to everyone, the fact is that in any given decade there would have been dozens, perhaps hundreds of different parkas available for sale to civilians, so absent any clear badges or logos, or any specific historical information, high-res photos, or unique design features, it's nearly impossible to identify specific clothing items and/or to assign them to specific brands. Even today it would be difficult, if a logo wasn't visible.

Haha that's must in my house, watching it once a year, a classic.

I would like to recreate his parka look, in my opinion it looks really cool, very minimalist but I am getting expedition vibe from it. What brand or type of parka should bring me closest to his one?

Looks very much like an Eddie Bauer my dad bought 30 years ago right down to the fur ruff, but I don't see the EB logo on the breast.

No slant breast pockets.

My guess would be Eddie Bauer.
