    Navy A-1 jacket zipper pull ...

    Hi All - I have a 1965 Navy A-1 Extreme Cold Weather jacket that is in amazing original condition. Even no wear on the OD green painting green snap tops.

    1956 USMC 3rd Marines / 3rd Tank Battalion Tour Jacket / Camp Fuji

    As a Former Active Duty Marine 82 to 86 I am jealous. That is Great tour jacket. I am pretty sure it was meant to be maroon in color as that is a Marine color. Just faded. Enjoy that piece of history Sir.

    Okay a date on an N-3A now ?? :)

    Thanks :D . I really am not a "fur around the hood" kinda guy unless I am in serious cold so I bought it mainly for collecting. But the same blue material as the B-15 is what sold me. I also have the D-1A blue pants and those things are GREAT in the cold. Cheers -Ronbo
