Rediscover a piece of naval history with the Type N-1 jacket, meticulously reproduced by 'Buzz Rickson's' based on vintage designs. Originally worn by U.S. Navy deck crews from the mid-1940s to the 1950s, this jacket is crafted from a rare cotton back-satin fabric, differing from the typical heavy twill jungle cloth of standard N-1 jackets. This choice of material offers lightweight flexibility and superior mobility. The jacket's warm alpaca wool pile lining provides essential cold protection. Unique design features include built-in ribbed cuffs to protect from friction and enhance warmth. These cuffs are further reinforced with corduroy, adding durability and comfort. This N-1 jacket exemplifies Buzz Rickson's commitment to preserving historical accuracy and attention to detail.
