Best N-3B PARKA, Bronson or Real McCoys

Fit Check on this size medium 1964 N-3B I have trouble zipping the hood up all the way. This would be for working outside in -10.

That’s as far as I can comfortably zip the hood up, should I keep it or size up? If I do keep it, how should I lubricate the zipper.

Hard to do better. Apply graphite powder or run a pencil along the zipper.

So you’d call this coat a keeper? It was pretty cheap to pick ngl.

 

[Aloysius]

Yes.

 

[WolfofStateSt]

Agreed

I got a size large N3A with room underneath. Do you have any recommendations on a liner jacket to go underneath? I have plenty of room for layering.

Start by just cinching it honestly.

I did. I do like it better than medium because there is more movement in the shoulders, just baggier in the belly. I’m thinking an M-51 liner.

Ordered an M-51 from 1953.
