The N-3B, which was born in the early 1950s, is an improved version after the N-3 and N-3A. The N-3B has also undergone several improvements from the experimental version to the official version. The changes can be seen from the number. Early versions of the N-3B used thick
Heavy wool is used as the filling, and the color of the outer nylon shell is usually gray-green.

MIL-J-6279D is a classic version of the early N-3B
Features the use of heavy double-sided flocked pure wool throughout the body
After our team dissected several versions of the original N-3B,
It was discovered that the wool in the early liner was actually double-sided wool.
That is, it is the same as the M-51 wool liner in the store, which is very thick and warm. Most N-3B products on the market use cotton or polyester fiber as filler, which is very different in texture from the early thick wool.
The wool filling of the original year is not the so-called texture of lamb wool, but fine flat wool. In order to more accurately restore the classic N-3B texture, we prepared for 6 months to develop a product with a weight of 1050- 1100 grams of double-sided wool presents a more authentic early N-3B look to everyone.

The Japanese WALDES boiled black zipper is used. This zipper has almost the same shape as the one used by N-3B in history, and the degree of restoration is very good. WALDES zippers use old-fashioned craftsmanship, are assembled by hand, and use pure cotton webbing. This is incomparable to ordinary domestic brands such as IDEAL, TALON, and YKK, and the price is naturally close to 8-10 times different.

There is a small pocket on the left arm of the N-3B, which can be used to insert pens and some parts. This design is common on many flight jackets of the same period.

The N-3B was a combat equipment issued to aircrews and ground crews in extremely cold weather at that time. The N-3B branch line ranged from B-7, B-9, B-I1, N-3, N-3A, to N-3B was worn from the 1940s to the 1970s, from the bulky fur to the cotton shell era, and then evolved to nylon fabrics. It embodies a historical process of the evolution of flight suits. The N-3B's design is still sought after by the fashion industry, and some of its elements influence the reference of many clothing brands.
