Guaranteed genuine U.S. military issued in 1963 or your money back!!!!!!!!!
Made with robust construction and designed for combat conditions!
Moving soon, must part with some of my vintage military clothing collection over the next 4 or 5 weeks. I have enjoyed collecting military parkas for the last 15 years. Please check back later for new listings!
DESCRIPTION: The parka was manufactured in the USA in 1963 under government contract for the U.S. Military. It has a heavy duty, fully lined hood (very warm) that is trimmed with real fur, a pocket with zipper topped with pen/pencil slots on the left upper arm. It also has 4 lower pockets for your hands. It closes with a heavy duty zipper. The tag reads size Large.
The parka is in extremely good vintage condition and shows little signs of wear. It is very clean parka. Some type of small square patch has been sewed on the front. The zipper has been professionally replaced. Please see the pictures that I have taken. The zipper works great.
WEIGHT: The parka is very heavy and weights about 6 pounds.
SIZING: These parkas were designed to be worn with some bulky clothing underneath and therefore the size runs a little large. I generally wear a size large coat. With my size large N-3B parka I can wear a very heavy sweater or fleece jacket underneath. If you need additional information on sizing please contact me.
HISTORY OF THE N-3B PARKA: The N-3B parka was designed by the U.S. military in the early 1950's for use by U.S. Air Force air crews, bombers, helicopter operators, and for crew who had the responsibility of transporting troops all stationed in extremely cold areas. The parka was originally made with a sage green nylon outer shell and lined with a wool blanket type material and had genuine coyote fur ruffs on the hoods. In the mid 1970's the padding was changed to a polyester type material (making the parka both lighter and warmer), the shell was changed to a cotton-nylon blend, and the fur ruffs had changed to a white synthetic fur.
Only the genuine U.S. Military N-3B is a piece of U.S. history.
RETURNS:
Regardless of what it says above, I will accept returns as long as I get the parka back in the same condition. Buyer pays for shipping and there will be a 20% restocking fee. Sorry I am not a store.
