Nylon jacket eBay question

[havocpaul]

Not being an expert on USAF nylon jackets, is this OK or is it a much later Alpha repro, the removed label and 'm' in the pocket got me thinking.....

I've never seen a size tag like that, but the jacket looks fine to me. Missing labels are not unusual in the heavier versions as the white, papery types were quite flimsy.

Yep, new one to me too. Then again, early N-2Bs are very difficult to find in decent condition. I'm still trying to find a good XL version to go with my early N-3B. Good luck.

Jim, surely a jacket of that vintage would have had a black woven label. BTW, it's been kicking around for many months with that BIN price.
