Developed in 1943, the N1 system comprised of the now famous deck jacket, a bib and brace overall and a soft ‘helmet’ with a peaked front. All pieces could be worn independently of one another, or paired with other uniforms items as necessary. The helmet featured a bold ‘USN’ stamp on the rear neck covering, with a chinstrap and peaked front. Whereas the bib and brace overalls were made in a traditional workwear style and heavily insulated. Protecting sailors from biting wind and freezing temperatures, it saved many a sailor from the harsh natural environment whether at sea or on land.

Due to the impracticality of overalls, even though they were well designed and functional, a sailor couldn’t wear them 24/7. A waist length jacket that offered warmth and comfort on the other hand, became a second skin.

The N1 deck jacket was made from a hard-wearing ‘jungle cloth’ outer shell which was paired with a warm alpaca lining. Jungle cloth is otherwise known as Bedford Cord. Named after the town of Bedford in England, it is a durable fabric that resembles corduroy. The weave has faint lengthwise ridges, but without the filling yarns that make the distinct wales characteristic of corduroy.

This particular jacket is one of the first generations of this jacket as it has the alpaca interior throughout the entire jacket and sleeves. Conmar zipper.
