as maybe someone already realized I'm a "Deck Jacket addict" and already gathered one and the other jacket in my collection

besides some N1 I also own some A2 Jackets - correct nomenclature is: Jacket Cold Weather Permeable

jackets are all in the same condition like I received it

"Seabees" Jacket in size "M" (equals 40 to 42) - the patch came with the jacket

"NSGA" - no clue about the meaning - found a lot of explanations on google like "Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algoritm" but that can`t fit - anyone any better translation???
ranks ain`t stenciled but look more like printed

Nice looking collection!
I imagine the Seabee jackets are a little more difficult to find these days in any kind of nice condition,

Love your collection! Interesting to see the differences in stenciling. The Seabees patch is beautiful as well.

AE 21 looks to be USS Suribachi which was decomissioned in 1994.

I'll post some of mine up, I've 2 of the earlier Vietnam-era jackets with the thicker shell and straight edges on the pockets plus three of the later 80's versions. I sold two others last year but wish I'd held onto them.
One of them is a Seabee's which up until now I assumed was a fake as all there is to go on os a patch and a feint stencil on the back.

Keep posting the pics Thomas!

NSGA could be Naval Security Group Activity with L3 most likely a base, possibly Winter Harbour, Maine.

I've found some photos of patches but it's such a pain in the arse to post anything on this forum.
