TYPE N-3A REAL McCOY MFG. CO.

Manufactured by The REAL McCOY MFG. Co. The TYPE N-3A is the successor to the Olive N-3, which was built on the success of the B-9 and B-11 jackets that came before it. The N-3 was the first of its kind to use a nylon cloth as a shell, and this has been carefully recreated here by REAL McCOY MFG. CO. using a 66 nylon.

Following the N-3 jacket and the US Air Force gaining independence in 1951, the N-3A would mark this turning point by being manufactured in Air Force Blue. This distinction would be made for only 2 years until the N-3B would come into production.

The TYPE N-3A REAL McCOY MFG. CO 66 nylon shell is a meticulous reconstruction of the iconic yarn developed by DuPont Co.. Nylon 66 is more flame-resistant and durable compared to other nylon fibres, and after studying this intensively, we have been able to develop a cloth that accurately embodies the qualities of this fabric.

Lining the body of our nylon 66 is a cotton wool pile; the hood has been finished with a beaver lamb mouton fur with coyote trim. A true to the era #7 wire zip in aluminium finish fastens the parka, with 50s oval zippers sealing the nylon cuff sleeves. DOT buttons have been used throughout.
