This is a vintage civilian “N-1 Type” deck jacket, modeled after the iconic U.S. Navy N-1 issued during WWII. Unlike official military contract versions, this jacket was produced for the civilian market in the postwar era, keeping the same rugged design and timeless workwear aesthetic as the originals.
Crafted from a khaki Bedford cord (jungle cloth) outer shell and lined with thick brown alpaca-style wool pile, this jacket features a “U.S.N.” chest stencil, angled hand-warmer pockets, and a button-front storm flap over a nonfunctional zipper (zipper slider missing, track missing teeth). Buttons are mismatched, and the cuff bears the name “NEWMAN” hand-marked from a previous owner — an authentic touch that adds to its story and vintage charm.
The neck tag reads “N-1 Type”, confirming this as a civilian-market interpretation of the classic U.S. Navy deck coat. Perfect for collectors, restorers, or heritage-wear enthusiasts who appreciate original, timeworn outerwear with history and character.
