The TYPE N-3A is the successor to the Olive N-3 that built on the success of the B-9 and B-11 jackets that came before it. The N-3 was the first of its kind to use a nylon cloth as a shell and this has been carefully recreated here by REAL McCOY MFG. CO. using a 66 nylon. Following the N-3 jacket and the US Air Force gaining independence in 1951, the N-3A would mark this turning point by being manufactured in an Air Force Blue. This distinction would be made for only 2 years until the N-3B would come into production. The TYPE N-3A REAL McCOY MFG.
