Been meaning to post a photo of this jacket. It’s a 1st Model USN deck jacket...my latest purchase from At The Front. I got it as a “Deal of the Day” and its proven to be well worth it’s price. The shell is blue jungle cloth...the interior lining is fleece...and there’s a layer of nylon in between that stops the wind. It’s warm and very wind proof...perfect for coastal North Carolina’s cold, damp winter weather. But maybe the best thing about this jacket is that it has a classic look that isn’t particularly military. Like many of the iconic flight jackets, it goes well with jeans and khakis. And that’s what old retired guys like me most often wear.

Nice jacket! Did you find the ATF sizing to be accurate, or to run large?

Glad you asked! I had intended to mention this, but forgot. I’ve bought many different models of ATF jackets. 2nd Model Tanker, m-43, m-41, B-10, N-1 and 1st Model Deck Jacket. In my experience, only the M-41 runs true to size. All the rest run a size large. I wear a size 48 original G-1 and a size XL original A-2 deck jacket. I also wear a size XL original MA-1 and L-2B. This ATF deck jacket is size large and fits quite comfortably.
