USAF N-3B parkas - Let's talk about them!!

[Peacoat]

How much does a USAF N3B from the 60’s weigh?

My 1970 Skyline weighs 6 pounds. It is probably about the last of the 100% wool interlining N3-B parkas.

Awesome exactly the answer I was looking for.

Any idea how old this N-3A is?

The N3-A was first issued in 1945 and continued in use until the early to mid 50s when it morphed into the N3-B. If this is an original issue parka, I would say about 1950. Do you have a picture of the zipper?
