Early 1960's US Navy A-2 Deck Jacket.
Early 1960's US Navy A-2 Deck Jacket.
An incredibly rare early 1960’s US Navy A-2 Deck Jacket. These early patterns are recognizable from the older style tag and the triangular pocket flap (rather than the much more common square flap on the 70’s/80’s models).
The earlier examples of the A-2 is a much more stylish, desirable, and well constructed jacket. Original CONMAR zipper, USN tag, adjustable side straps, all original buttons and soft wool flannel lining all intact. This example is exceptionally rare due to the markings/ stencils, condition, as well as a crystal cleat USN stamp on the chest (which has usually faded). A great example of an increasingly hard to find jacket, which is one of our person favorite military designs of all time.
