PRODUCT DETAIL

From late 1943 and continuing into the early 1960s, the iconic N-1 Deck Jacket design was the mainstay for use in the U. S. Navy, but starting in the early 1960s and continuing well into the 1970s, the A-2 Deck Jacket took over as the primary role.

The A-2 Deck Jacket remains a well-designed, functional and utilitarian garment that possesses rugged good looks. The A-2 Deck Jacket eliminated the animal hairs used in the N-1's lining and incorporated a new nylon pile that was equally warm, yet lighter and very soft and comfortable for those with skin sensitivities. Other modifications include a new dark olive gray outer cotton fabric that was also lighter in weight, but equally durable and the addition of a snap chest pocket, and waist adjusters at the hips to keep out the frigid winds.
