N-3B Parka - any recommendations?

[MeachamLake]

Nobody seems to chat much about these round here. Does anybody have much experience buying vintage or issued versions of it? Any good repro makers you could recommend?

I have a modern Schott N3B in white which is an outstanding garment in terms of warmth and practicality.It washes easily due to having a synthetic filling and ruff.The pockets are well placed and deep.I had an American friend who had a vintage military issue version with a wolverine fur ruff and he guarded it with his life!

Exactly... maybe a mod can merge this in.

Ah sorry, my apologies, didn't see that thread.

Mods, if you want to merge / lock this one, go ahead. I'll start posting in the other thread. Thanks!
