About This Jacket:
This N-2A is a beautiful example with little evidence of use. The jacket fits like a typical large,
just a bit small on me, and it has the usual proportions of a short body and wide shoulders. The nylon is fantastic, thick and stiff. The
color is a very dark blue and it's quite clean overall, with no signs of fading or abrasion. The lining is equally well preserved. The snaps
have almost 100% of their blackening (except the right pocket snap), an example of little use. The wolf fur is also very solid, with none of it drying out or missing.
The fur is quit stiff. The knits are in amazing condition, and are extremely tough and tight. There's only one small hole in the waistband.
The main zipper is a large paperclip-style Conmar. The USAF shoulder stencil is only about 15% present, but that may be due to one or
two dry cleanings.
