Description

ORIGINAL WWII/KOREAN WAR UNITED STATES NAVY PARKA STYLE DECK JACKET. THE FRONT LEFT CHEST IS STENCILED U S N. THE REAR UPPER BACK IS STENCILED
MCB1
302. ALPACA LINED WITH ATTACHED HOOD. THERE IS A PATCH OF FABRIC MISSING ON THE BACK SIDE AT THE WAIST LINE AND A SMALL HOLE BENEATH THE B AND 1 OF THE MCB1(PLEASE SEE PHOTO). THE COLOR IS SLIGHTLY FADED BUT STILL STRONG AND THE LINING SHOWS NO WEAR. CUFFS, HEM AND KNIT CUFFS ARE PERFECT. POCKETS ARE LINED WITH WHITE CORDUROY. CONMAR ZIPPER. MY RESEARCH SHOWS MCB1 TO STAND FOR "MOBILE CONSTRUCTION BATTALION 1". THIS WOULD BE A NAVY CB OR SEABEE PARKA FOR AN ENLISTED MAN IN BATTALION 1. THE 302 COULD BE A UNIT OR SHIP NUMBER. THIS PARKA COULD ALSO DATE TO THE KOREAN CONFLICT AS WELL.
I COULD FIND NO OTHER LABELS. MARKED SIZE 42. I AM 5FT 6 195 LBS AND FIT NO PROBLEM. PIT TO PIT MEASURES 24 INCHES. FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS
