It is equipped with details designed for maximum practicality in cold climates, such as a large hood, a double-layered front, a waist drawcord, and a utility pocket on the left sleeve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat\u0026rsquo;s most appealing about N-3Bs from this era is \u003cstrong\u003ethe large hood made of natural fur\u003c\/strong\u003e. It has a vintage-style presence that clearly sets it apart from later models, and combined with the thick shearling lining on the inside of the hood, it creates the overwhelming presence unique to early N-3Bs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, the left shoulder \u003cstrong\u003efeatures a printed \u0026ldquo;U.S. AIR FORCE\u0026rdquo; insignia\u003c\/strong\u003e, emblematic of early N-3B models.The large emblem featuring wings and a star, along with the \u0026ldquo;U.S. AIR FORCE\u0026rdquo; lettering, stands out against the sage green body, strongly evoking the essence of early 1960s USAF flight wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis era, natural fur, and the USAF markings on the shoulders\u0026mdash;this combination alone gives it a charm entirely distinct from later models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body retains the subdued sheen characteristic of nylon twill, and \u003cstrong\u003ethe exterior\u003c\/strong\u003e is \u003cstrong\u003ein remarkably good condition considering its age\u003c\/strong\u003e. For an authentic piece from a 1962 contract\u0026mdash;over half a century ago\u0026mdash;it\u0026rsquo;s in excellent shape. Details typical of the N-3B, such as the buttons, snaps, and utility pockets on the sleeves, are all well-preserved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the other hand, \u003cstrong\u003ethere are a few noticeable brown stains on the inside.\u003c\/strong\u003e There are also minor stains and scuffs resulting from age and use; please understand that this is to be expected with vintage military gear. The damage does not significantly detract from the jacket\u0026rsquo;s overall appearance, and it\u0026rsquo;s still a piece you can enjoy wearing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbove all, the fact \u003cstrong\u003ethat this is an early N-3B from the 1962 contract in size MEDIUM\u003c\/strong\u003e is not to be overlooked.
