70s Vintage Military 1972 Dated Vietnam War USAF N-3B Modified Parka Jacket
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.

Vintage Military Parka United States Air Force N-3B Vietnam era
Jacket, Flying, Mans, Nylon Twill. Sage Green, USAF 1511 Type N-3B. Mil-J-6279F (USAF) Size Medium. This jacket weighs about seven pounds. I believe this jacket is the Vietnam era according to the research I have done. Please conduct your own research. I do not know for certain the exact manufacturing date. The following is only provided as a source of reference. The N-3 Parka evolved through a series of specification changes, starting with the original 1945 issue. The first model of “Jacket, Aircrew, Heavy, Attached Hood, Type N-3″ was labeled Specification No. 3110 and had an olive green nylon outer, wolf fur rim on beaver lined hood, and was wool mouton insulated with a nylon inner lining. Around 1950, after the U. Air Force separated from the Army, the model became N-3A, the specification became MIL-J-6279 and the nylon outer was USAF blue in color. By 1958 the parka was known as the N-3B, under specification MIL-J-6279A and was grey in color. The specification continued to evolve from MIL-J-6279B and by the 1970s the color changed to Sage Green under MIL-J-6279F. By then the insulating layer was changed to a warmer, lighter polyester padding. Becoming “Jacket, Flying, Man’s Nylon Twill, Sage Green USAF 1511, Type N-3B” by the time of MIL-J-6279F in 1964.
