Hey guys, first I want to say I am new here so apologies if I forget some things
I recently bought an N-3B parka, but the tag was cut out, and I need some help determining the specifics of it, I heard this was a good place to ask, so any help would be appreciated
(The fur on the hood was swapped by me as half of it was cut off for some reason)

This parka is NOT a military parka, it's a civilian market item. The hip pocket flaps are the unique feature here and I have seen them before. I will dig through my image library tomorrow and see what I can come up with. Like I said, definitely NOT military, of any age/period. If someone sold it to you as a "military" parka, then you were misled. If, on the other hand, you picked it up cheap, and it fits and keeps you warm, then just wear it.

Update: Looks like it's probably a Rothco (link below).


Update #2: Looking through my image file, which is by no means exhaustive, I'm gonna stick with my view that it's probably a Rothco, or maybe an older low-end Spiewak, but based on the proportions and details I'm still leaning to Rothco.
