Waxed Deck Jacket by PikeBrothers

in stock now:
1944 N1 Deck Jacket waxed olive

The 1944 N-1 Deck Jacket was issued to all U.S. Navy Personnel during WW2. It saw action from the beaches of Normandy to the Pacific Islands and became one of the most used and most favoured jackets of the U.S. Armed Forces in the 1940s. The general construction of the jacket combined a thick outer layer of “Jungle Cloth” with a wool lining making it wind and water resistant so the wearer stayed warm and comfortable even under the harshest conditions.

With the new waxed quality there is we added a 3-layer wax coating to the Deck Jacket, making it almost water proof. A very nice feel and a great patina over time are the result!
