U.S.N. BLUE DECK JACKET

DESCRIPTION
  • First introduced around 1941, the U.S.N.
  • BLUE DECK JACKET was part of a specialized naval uniform officially known as Jacket, Special Winter Clothing.
  • Though its purpose was broadly defined in regulations, it soon found a niche role aboard ships.
  • This earned it the modern nickname, the Deck Zip Jacket, used by collectors and historians.
  • Originally authorized for use by non-commissioned officers, the jacket’s unembellished and practical design made it versatile enough for a wide range of tasks.
  • It was not limited to deck work alone.
  • Unlike the later N-1 jacket, this early version had no official designation or model number.
  • What sets this jacket apart historically is its transitional role.
  • It laid the groundwork for what would eventually become the N-1 Deck Jacket.
  • Its successor, often referred to as the Deck Hook Jacket, replaced the zipper with a hook-front closure.
  • This design change is a key detail that helps differentiate the two.
  • One notable distinction lies in the lining material.
  • According to Navy uniform standards, this jacket used wool flannel rather than alpaca wool.
  • Alpaca was more commonly found in garments issued to aviators and ground crews.
  • The presence of alpaca-lined variants suggests there may have been some crossover in use.
  • The U.S.N.
  • BLUE DECK JACKET is constructed with a durable dark navy cord cloth exterior and fully lined with matching wool melton.
  • It features wool ribbing for added insulation, a 1940s-style bell-shaped nickel front zipper with cotton tape, a concealed zip-front closure, and two side pockets.
  • 40s Bell-Shaped Front Zipper, Nickel, Cotton Tape
  • Cotton Sewing Thread Construction
