Among military flight jackets, the CWU-36/P is highly regarded for its practicality and refined silhouette. This particular piece is a 2nd Model, and based on the tag, it can just barely be identified as a 1979 contract item. It combines the ruggedness characteristic of the early CWU series with the level of refinement that would define later models, making it a piece that truly embodies the charm of that transitional era.

A particularly noteworthy feature of this jacket is its exceptionally pristine condition, with not even a trace of patch marks. While flight jackets are typically adorned with unit insignia and name patches, this piece shows no signs of them having been removed, leading us to believe it was used exclusively with a name tape. This specification aligns with the relatively simple operational style of the Navy (USN) and Marine Corps (USMC), lending the jacket an authentic realism found only in genuine vintage pieces.

The front features a brass-colored GRIPPER zipper. The texture of the nylon shell, the rounded pocket flaps, and the clean, uncluttered details all contribute to the refined design unique to the CWU-36/P.Designed for light-duty use, this jacket is lightweight and easy to handle, making it highly versatile for everyday wear. The size is SMALL. It offers a well-balanced fit that works well with modern styling, allowing you to enjoy its clean, streamlined silhouette. While there are signs of wear, there is no significant damage, making it suitable for both practical use and as a collector’s item.

This is the "raw" CWU-36/P, stripped of all unnecessary embellishments. It is precisely this simplicity that highlights the inherent functional beauty and presence of military design. We highly recommend this piece as a timeless addition to your wardrobe.

Please note that this is a used item and cannot be returned.
