Vintage 1972 USAF N-3B Military Parka Cold Weather Flying Jacket Medium. Air Force N-3B Cold Weather Flying Parka, produced under a 1972 Defense Supply Agency contract. This is a true military-issue garment built for extreme cold conditions, featuring the classic sage green nylon shell, heavy wool-blend insulation, and fur-trimmed hood. A foundational piece of Cold War military outerwear that heavily influenced modern parka design. Made by Lancer Clothing Corporation, a verified U. Defense contractor of the era. Type: Jacket, Flying, Man’s – N-3B (Modified). Era: 1972 (Cold War / Vietnam-era issue). Insulation: Wool-blend interlining (60% wool / 40% cotton). Care: Dry clean only. ? Why This Era Matters. Early-1970s N-3B parkas represent the last generation of heavy wool-insulated USAF flight gear before later synthetic cost-cutting changes. These versions are widely regarded as warmer, heavier, and more durable than modern reproductions or civilian Alpha Industries releases-making them especially desirable to collectors, heritage wear fans, and gorpcore enthusiasts. ? Condition (Read Carefully). Used – Good Vintage Condition with Authentic Service Wear. No rips, tears, or fabric failure. All seams, snaps, buttons, and zippers intact. Hood fur trim present and full. Interior lining and insulation remain solid. The outer shell shows visible surface marks and staining throughout (see photos), consistent with age and real military use. These marks are purely cosmetic and do not affect structure, warmth, or wearability. This is the kind of honest patina collectors expect-and often prefer-in an original 1970s military parka. Nothing has been restored, altered, or replaced.

Original RAF WW2 style enlisted man’s uniform tunic, trousers, sidecap, 1948 dated. Difficult to get the colour right when photographing but the 2nd photo of tunic on hanger on line is closest to true colour – which is an RAF blue in wool serge. Tunic is chest 36, waist 32, height 5ft 7ins-5ft 8ins, trousers size 15 31″-32″ waist, seat 37″ – 38″, 30 IL. The side cap is 10 long when laid on its side (internal length) which makes it a 6 and a half size. There are some moth holes – right collar (which is the worst), one on left shoulder, one on left waist, one on left arm, one on right arm, one on back and two left bottom of jacket. BUT all are repairable. Only one hole on trousers and none on cap. Uniform needs a good clean and could be worn today by a slim re-enactor – you will have your complete uniform. Just the buttons and buckle would benefit from a change to brass rather than staybright. This uniform is also ideal if you have a manikin to dress for display.

All original WW2 (1940 dated) RAF Tunic and trousers to a Squadron Leader Ian Hamish Lawrence. Showing genuine wear and nice wartime use, the inside liner shows some use but not noticeable if displayed. However it does still display well. I have used it well for my over 6 feet (186cm) modern mannequin some 12 years now. I need to stich some spots on jacket, but luckily one spot is under belt, one in neck area and one right front edge. Trousers are ok, but again I need to stich/taylor some spots on the crotch area. If you use Mae West, the belt of Mae West will cover crotch area very well. This is not a mint unform, but it still displays very well for pilot mannequin duty. And it is BIG size. The inside pocket has a white manufacturing label and the tunic is named to the original owner Squadron Leader Ian Hamis Lawrence, who was 60 Squadron RFC & RAF pilot during WW1. During WW2 he was Fighter Training Command (Auxiliary) Squadron Leader. I washed uniform and ironed, so it is now in pretty clean condition. Thanks for looking and have a good day!
