Rare early 1980s! US NAVY A-2 Deck Jacket MEDIUM This is a vintage, authentic A-2 deck jacket, a cold-weather outerwear adopted by the US Navy. Known as the successor to the N-1 deck jacket, this is a rare piece from the early 1980s with the contract number (DLA100-81-C-3092). It features an olive drab shell and a highly insulating lining (nylon boa), making it excellent as winter wear. It's also a popular outerwear choice for bikers. • Era: This is a rare, authentic piece from the early 80s, with the contract number indicating a 1981 contract on the tag. • Back Stencil: The back has a clear stencil that reads **"LP04 DECK"**, along with other markings indicating the unit, ship, and year of issue, giving it the powerful presence unique to authentic military vintage items. • Golden Size: The marked size is the rare MEDIUM (38-40). It's not the oversized size often found in vintage military wear, but a perfect golden size that fits well on Japanese body types. • Excellent "Character": The overall fading, paint stains, and scuff marks seen on the sleeves and shoulders reflect the real history of being used in harsh environments, creating the **best "character"** unique to vintage items. • As a vintage item, there are overall stains, fading, scuffs, splatter-like white paint, and blackening on the sleeves. • There are no major damages, such as tears, that would hinder wear, and it is in good condition as a vintage used clothing item. • The zippers, buttons, and hem adjuster belts have been confirmed to function properly. Please examine the images carefully and only purchase if you understand vintage items (used clothing). Actual Size (flat measurement, approx.)
