ALPHA SLIM FIT N-3B PARKA

Alpha's classic N-3B parka with channel quilted lining for Extreme Cold Weather situations in a contemporary slim fit with contrast lining.

PRODUCT HISTORY

The first N-3B jackets were produced in the mid-1950s for USAF air crews who were assigned to transport troops in extremely cold climates. The parkas were originally made with a nylon outer shell and lining and a wool interlining. The interlining was changed to polyester batting in the 1970s. The long, sage green jackets became known as the “Snorkel Parka” because the fur-trimmed hood could be zipped right up leaving only a small tunnel for the wearer to look out of. The modern N-3Bs have slant pockets at the chest and flap pockets lower on the coat, and a panel that fastens with loops across the zipper to keep out wind.
