That makes sense.. but is the loop at right angles to the strap when worn?Not sure if it's true, but I was told by vintage collectors, the loops under the arms were intended to keep coverall suspenders from falling off the shoulders when worn with the deck jacket.
Yes it is.That makes sense.. but is the loop at right angles to the strap when worn?
I have both coveralls and N-1, so should give it a try and see how it works one if these days!That makes sense.. but is the loop at right angles to the strap when worn?
Thanks for detail answer - good to know - just bought a RMC Blue N1, but this one has the blue zipper blue. Perhaps one day i will change that. Greetings PeterI bought a BR N-1 in blue six months ago and had a very lengthy discussion with Charles at History Preservation regarding a number of features on this jacket.He has done considerable research on this model and has in his archives some great information. Primarily I was interested in why my jacket had come with a leather zipper pull and the photos showed a sewn blue canvas one. I learned that the leather was actually more accurate as the early ones also had a leather pull…..anyway, sorry, went down a rabbit trail. During this same discussion though, I talked to him about the loops referred to in this post. The N-1 jacket as mentioned, was originally manufactured with a matching pant/overall. There was a system where these loops in the jacket were utilized to connect to this pant/overall when worn to help secure it. Kevin
