The N-1 Deck Jacket was introduced in World War II, replacing the Pea Coat in all but formal situations, due to its improved practicality. The N-1 system was a cold weather system that included a helmet and overalls, but the Deck Jacket was often matched by sailors with other climate systems, like the N-2 and the N-3 to suit their preferences and working conditions.
The N-1 deck jacket had experimental iterations in Navy Blue and with clasp closures, but ultimately the U.S Navy settled on the Button & Zip Closure N-1 Khaki which was widely cherished by deck crew, who would often wear their N-1 beyond service.
The N-1 Deck jacket features a distinctive lining in Alpaca, an incredibly effective insulator that has a fairly unique property of remaining warm when wet.
The jacket is constructed in a thick Cotton Cord Cloth and benefits from Wool Cuff Ribbing, Internal Waist Adjustors and a 40s-style Bell-Shaped Zipper.
