US Navy Late-War N1 Deck Jacket - Size 42

Sale price$650.00

In early 1943 the Navy introduced a new line of redesigned clothing to help it meet its requirements across multiple theatres and areas of operations. Designated with a N (N-1, N-2 and N-3) standing for Navy, this range of clothing would improve upon previous designs, and prepare the navy for the amphibious warfare required in pacific and to land in occupied Europe. The N-1 deck jacket was a vast improvement on the previous blue jackets, retaining the thick jungle cloth, but changing to a khaki colour more suitable as camouflage. It returned to a zip closure, improved the fit, changed to a thick alpaca lining and included a draw string around the waist. For anyone who has owned both will tell you, these are much better jackets to wear in the cold.

This example was made in approx 1944/45 but unfortunately the contract number is untraceable.

Condition

Used but solid condition. Some patina to the shell and wear/repairs around the cuffs and pockets, but the alpaca is thick and the jungle cloth is solid! The zipper rails have been replaced, retaining the original zipper pull.
