A sage green US Air Force N-3B parka jacket, dated 1972. Noted flaws - various ingrained marking throughout, particularly at the backs of the sleeves, cuff areas, centre front and back, some damage at the lower front right, wear and fraying at the cuff entries, missing the hood drawstring, some damage to the inner storm cuff knits, uneven colour fading throughout, the main zipper runs but is stiff - please see photos. Great original condition otherwise, made by Lancer Clothing Company, real fur hood trim, wool and cotton lining, large snorkel hood, original Scovill zippers run smoothly, leather trim at the pockets, inner storm cuffs still have stretch, two hand warmers, two lower pockets, classic USAF parka, made to withstand very cold weather, excellent quality, not in the best condition, but perfect as a not-too-precious Vietnam-era original, weighs almost 3kg, suitable for everyone.
