The N-3B Flight Jacket, a masterpiece cold-weather jacket that symbolized the U.S. Air Force in the early 1960s, is now available. Developed with extreme cold weather missions in mind, the N-3B combines cold weather protection, functionality, and rugged design, making it the perfect military outerwear. Size is MEDIUM.
This is an early model N-3B, estimated to have been issued in the early 1960s, and the black tag shows " JACKET, FLYING, MAN'S, N-3B ". It was manufactured by the trusted SKYLINE CLOTHING CORPORATION. The spec number is MIL-J-6279E, which indicates a transitional period just before nylon became the mainstream material.
Even more valuable is the USAF round stencil (blue insignia) that remains firmly on the left shoulder. The stencil, which often disappears with wear and washing, has become increasingly rare in recent years. The jacket itself has a thick windproof nylon shell and a fluffy wool-blend lining that provides excellent heat retention. The coyote fur on the hood is also voluminous, enhancing warmth around the neck and giving the N-3B a powerful look.
The size is MEDIUM, a golden size that is easy for Japanese to handle in both feel and silhouette. The overall appearance is very good considering the age, although there are some signs of use, scuffs, and some light stains. The zippers and snap buttons work without any problems, and the item can still be used for active duty. This is a gem that you can fully enjoy the charm of vintage N-3B, which is highly satisfying both as a fashion item and a military collection. Don't miss this once in a lifetime encounter. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
