Chest sizesJACKET/PARKA/TUNICCHEST CIRCUMFERENCE OF GARMENT As these garments are usually worn with a shirt or jumper underneath, we measure each garment and take 2 inches (5cm) off to define a chest size that will comfortably fit. p-p means pit to pit - i.e. the garment is laid flat and we measure across the armpits and double that distance for full circumference. |

GREATCOAT / TRENCHCOAT / WATERPROOFCHEST CIRCUMFERENCE OF GARMENT These garments are intended to be worn over multiple under-layers and so we make a 4" allowance on top of the wearer's chest size.

Why is our system different?Because military garment sizing and labelling varies wildly from country to country, we have gone back to basics and after measuring each garment, we provide the chest size and height of a person that the garment will be suitable for. So, simply measure yourself and look for that size in the options available in any of our products. |

An iconic American parka made for warmth and rugged durability. These jackets were made for the US Air Force by either DJ Manufacturing Corp or Greenbrier Industries Inc. and, as the labels state, it's designed as a "Parka, Extreme Cold weather, Type N-3B" and so you'll be buying a genuine military spec garment that should keep you warm and toasty in the wintry weather, along with other suitable outer wear, of course.
Please note: the front zip travels from mid-tummy to the extreme edge of the furry hood trim and so does up past the neck to form the tunnel 'snorkel' as shown in the photos. When this is done, the collar circumference is restricted to a minimum to form a tight fit. Therefore please note that the maximum neck circumference of any wearer is about 17 inches (43cm). A larger neck than this would make the garment uncomfortable to zip up fully rendering proper use of the hood unlikely.
Features of this garment include
