N1 Deck jacket - WWII or postwar?

[foster]

I don't know USN deck jackets all that well but I got into a conversation with a friend about this jacket and he thinks it is WWII, but based on the zipper I am thinking it is more likely post-WWII.

Hoping someone here can add more insight.

Thanks

Navy engineer brigades, landing parties and shore patrols all wore the jacket. Made classic by WW2 and again in the famous photo of legendary movie star Paul Newman. Condition is Used.

You're right, probably 60's or later. An easy way to tell WWII USN deck jackets is the NSxx designation in the spec label. Also, WWII issue N-1's had individual sizes in the label (not Medium, Large, etc). Hope that helps!

Probably postwar but still a nice jacket

Agree with the two gents above me

Shape of collar and the button tab as well as the alpaca indicates it is a civilian lookalike - also the lable

Seems to be a nice jacket anyway

The Zipper is 50s!

yeah, but those zips were used through the 60’s as well.
