Manufactured by The REAL McCOY MFG. Co. The TYPE N-3A is the successor to the Olive N-3 that built on the success of the B-9 and B-11 jackets that came before it. The N-3 was the first of its kind to use a nylon cloth as a shell and this has been carefully recreated here by REAL McCOY MFG. CO. using a 66 nylon.
Following the N-3 jacket and the US Air Force gaining independence in 1951, the N-3A would mark this turning point by being manufactured in an Air Force Blue. This distinction would be made for only 2 years until the N-3B would come into production.
The TYPE N-3A REAL McCOY MFG. CO 66 nylon shell is a meticulous reconstruction of the iconic yarn developed by DuPont Co.. Nylon 66 is more flame resistant and durable compared to other nylon fibres and after studying this intensively we have been able to develop a cloth that accurately embodies the qualities of this fabric.
Lining the body of our nylon 66 is a cotton wool pile, the hood has been finished with a beaver lamb mouton fur with coyote trim. A true to the era #7 wire zip in aluminium finish fastens the parka, with 50s oval zippers sealing the nylon cuff sleeves. DOT buttons have been used throughout.

N-3シリーズは、大戦期から連なるB-9、B-11の系譜と言えるだろう。
その中で初めてナイロンをメインマテリアルに採用したN-3は、空軍の独立を機に1951年、エアフォースブルーのN-3Aに移行。
シェルのカラー以外に大きな差はなく、どちらも2年の採用と短命に終わったジャケットだが、後継のN-3Bは70年代まで使用され、その血脈を残している。
