Hi Fedora Lounge!
First of all: thank you for reading. The saltest of the saltest jacket has landed after years of searching for the right example. Condition is important for me and that complicates things when the original jackets were produced during the 40s.
This is an early version, from 1944, with a Conmar zipper and it's so nice. It's quite breathtaking thinking about how this jacket was supposed to be worn by a soldier in the navy, during the world war II. Enough with the talk; here's some of todays pictures.
So, am I the only one with a passion for the deck jackets here? Please share some pictures or drop a comment. I'll attach some inspirational pictures from my scouted gallery in the end.
Heres some extra spice, borrowed from my newly started instagram account called Seconda Vita Clothing (@secondavitaclothing). I aim to write about historic garments with inspiration pictures from the old days and share my advice on where you can source both vintage, used and new garments. At the moment I'm researching the flight jackets starting from World War 1. Please give it a follow if you like.
"Let’s talk about the iconic deck jacket. The N-1, deck jacket, was first released in 1944 and has the longest service in the US Navy history. The jackets outer shell is made of heavy cotton, with a warm alpaca lining. These jackets were worn on deck by the aircraft carrier crew during World War II and the Korean War. @thenavy_ism is a great account to follow fore inspiration. He once wrote “I love to consider the
️NAVY-ism️ more than an IG feed, I prefer to consider all of us more like a worldwide multiethnic community who share the same passion.” Amen to that."
