N4 jacket in size 46???

[Thomas Koehle]

Gentlemen,

it ain't good for me to have sparetime and check EBAY coz every time i hang "in the bay" i find something cathing my interest ...

I find something that looks like a blue N4 jacket to me - it is huge in 46 which makes it pretty unique and the condition seem to be outstanding except some wear on the collar

Can someone maybe help me with identifying the contract number? Or is it maybe just a repro?

No repro but according to different sites 60's or 70's.

N4 Jackets in Navy Blue

Not sure on the source of the image I've included, but these seem very rare? Were they post WW2, Pre-Vietnam? Any History would be greatly appreciated? There are loads of the Green N4s as both Vintage and Repro available, but can't seem to find a Blue one?

Thx for the reminder - i still own the smaller blue one but i'm a bit irritated by the contract number ...

Looks like it is from the early 50's [52/53] which N140 can indicate, as this prefix can be found on USN items from these years.
