Since original N1s are pretty hard to find in decent condition and matching my size i started getting more and more interested in any postwar solutions or predecessors of the famous N1.
The A2 Deck Jackets can still be found in a very reasonable price range and their variety is pretty high due to the behaviour of the USN to mark the jackets with the ID of the vessel they are used on
As far as i heard (correct me if i'm wrong) these jackets pretty often where not issued to a single person but to a vessel
My oldest one was manufactured in 1968
SSBN 622 - USS James Monroe
US Airforce version - obviously a "trade in" from a sailor finally ended up with USAF personel
SUBASE - "Submarine Base"
CGN-9 "USS LONG BEACH"
