Looks very much like the USN cold weather parka. I used to own one and it was a very substantial garment.

Mine was labelled:
Contract NXsx43454 and I think there was another spec NXsx43461 which had slightly different liner and pocket arrangement.

Came with an integral hood button-in alpaca liner (some had a sheep wool liner), Talon zip and hidden elastic cuffs on the inside of the sleeves. Heavy cotton outer.

I was wearing one on board the US built vessel did most of my service on.
Back at the time I did not know anything about jackets.

where to get one?


There's a guy in London called Vintage Showroom who may have something like this. They are on the web as well but not for ordering stuff.

I had a Buzz repro, though a different model. Pretty much a long version of the N-1 with a hood.
