Those models are difficult to come by in ANY size. Don't know why everyone craves the Crown zippers. :lol: That's a great find my friend.

They do run pretty big. I had a near mint D model in XL and was too big for me.

The N-3 series was used occasionally by aircrew on heavy aircraft such as transports, tankers and bombers such as the B-36.

Thanks for that David . I knew you'd know - Jacket Yoda !! It's older than I thought so I'm evev more chuffed than before.

Tim, like the guys say, they do fit a size large but it's not enough to make you look ridiculous so if you get a choice and you are normally an so, get a large but don't turn down an so in the meantime.

Cheers All,
Dave
