Another very early example utilizing available materials from the N-3.
I have a copy of this film and Stewart is the only one in an N3A, the rest all wear N2A's. I remember because when I watched it I noticed and thought "hmm" I guess Stewart was more comfy in the parka or something. Who knows? Anyways, if you like blue nylon it's a great film. They even wear L2A's in the first part of the film.Not just an N-3A, but a very early example that utilized the coyote/wolf hood trim and brown sheep wool in the hood; the rest of the cast in the color photo wear the typical N-3A's.

Okay, thanks. Yeah now I see the armband!AP's.
The actual armpit-to-armpit (half-chest) measurements in the table I posted are the official measurements for the parkas which manufacturers are supposed to get close to and thus do not reflect the actual size of the wearer's chest. In the recent past the USAF translated alphabetic sizes to numeric sizes as follows:Can anyone tell me how a number size translates? I see some of these as 29-33 or as something like size 34. I googled it, trying to find a chart, but I didn't have any luck.
