The N-1 Deck Jacket is the perfect example of a military jacket finding its way into contemporary fashion and daily usage. This jacket was part of the standard American Navy equipment during World War II. It was originally coloured blue and known as the Tank Jacket. It was then released in khaki in 1944 and from that day on the N-1 Deck Jacket became an international icon. It was there when the beaches of Normandy were invaded and it was part of many operations in the jungles of the Pacific.
The jacket has a thick outer layer made of the so called 'Jungle Cloth' and consists of qualitative warm wool on the inside. The Pike edition is impregnated with three layers of wax. It is as waterproof and windproof as it gets which makes it a comfortable jacket even in poor weather conditions. Most importantly, this N-1 Deck Jacket has the exact same characteristics as the original legendary jacket.
