That jacket is getting better and better !

I've had both and the Extreme Cold Weather is the best choice. Comes even with a sleeping cap ;) Good luck !

No repro but according to different sites 60's or 70's. See also this old VLJ thread and check who's one of the posters ;) https://www.vintageleatherjackets.org/threads/n4-jackets-in-navy-blue.20168/

Right ! and it's a Bristol Blenheim Mk IV ;)

It's the same guy, Stephen Silburn. Top notch stuff of museum quality. According to this post on FB only a small run of boots ( as seen in the pics) for MOTA.

Now that's is a cool jacket !

What make.?

It's getting better and better !

The Lightning zipper and Newey pattern press studs are indicating a British made jacket.

I have an original AM zipper available, which came out of an Irvin Air Chute Suit. It came original with a light khaki cotton which is dyed in a medium brown colour. Zipp train runs on the right hand side. I've got all the extra hardware and with the right setting tools and some skills you can...

You've been aging the leather tapes as well :)

Nice upgrade Enigma ! Can you tell me what was wrong with the male snaps on the chest? And how "bad" is the somewhat oversized mappocket? Thanks !

More likely AN-J-4 jackets.

Just google Olive Drab Canvas Shoes or Olive Drab Canvas Sneakers and you will find a pair that fits your feet and wallet These are looking similar and not too expensive. https://northerncobbler.com/products/usr-high-mens-canvas-sneaker-vegan-friendly-khaki?variant=39357696475213
