Coldest Weather I've been in
^^ I've said this before but the Fahrenheit and Celsius temperature scales match at -40 and I think I've only seen that once in my life. It's 15F here today which wouldn't be too bad except the wind is blowing extremely hard. I'll get out for a walk soon after dressing up. There were a couple...- Doctor Damage

For sale one USAF mil-spec N3B parka made by Greenbrier and dated 1990, size Medium. Shell is 50% cotton 50% nylon (feels like a very heavy cotton duck) with polyester insulation. Zippers and snaps work fine, and all buttons are present and in place. Coat is used but in excellent nearly-new...- Doctor Damage

Alpha b-15: What a waste of time, energy, and money
^ That's a great nylon porn film, recommended watching for when the wife is out with her friends. I have a couple of civilian Alpha MA-1s the older made in USA ones, only 24" but yeah even though I'm 6'1" they don't feel short. But other jackets, which are longer, feel too short. It goes to show...- Doctor Damage

USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!
N3B arrived today, it's a Greenbrier from 1990, excellent condition. The construction and component quality is amazing, much better than other USAF stuff, and it's insanely heavy and thick. I have a huge Cdn Forces parka which is their (now obsolete) extreme cold parka, but this N3B is even...- Doctor Damage

Nomex Flyer jacket
Fit is fine: note how it's just right in the shoulders. These are short but they're also "wide" if you know what I mean, so if you're thin they'll always be a bit blousy. Looking at my notes I've seen jackets made by Isratex with dates from 1985 to 1992, so your jacket is from near the end of...- Doctor Damage

Coldest Weather I've been in
Small amount of snow last night and this morning, temps around -9C, with a strong wind. Because winter has been so benign this year I'm actually looking forward to getting into the Cdn Forces parka and going for a walk. Last year, though, which was nasty, I would not have felt the same way...- Doctor Damage

USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!
^ Okay, thanks for the comments, guys. The coat I'm looking at appears to be decent... tag and USAF logo are in very good shape... this one is sage green... photos don't show the extent of the fading, but the seller is not an English speaker so there's little point asking. I ran the coat past...- Doctor Damage

USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!
I'm looking at a vintage (late 1950s - thanks Atticus) N3B parka which is in good shape. It does have fading on the shoulders and hood. For those of you with experience, what impact does fading have on the nylon? Is the nylon more brittle or damaged? or is the fading just a cosmetic thing?- Doctor Damage

I'm beginning to think more A-2 jackets have been made in the last 5 or 10 years than in the previous 60, including the war.- Doctor Damage
