Vintage 1940s-50s U.S. Navy Deck Vest | Alpaca Lined | CONMAR Zip | Size Small
Description
The ultimate cold-weather layering piece from the "Old Corps" of the US Navy.
-
Construction: The outer shell is made of wind-resistant cotton canvas. The interior is fully lined with a thick, dark brown alpaca and wool blend pile designed to keep sailors warm on freezing decks.
-
Hardware: Equipped with a fully functional, heavy-duty brass CONMAR bell-shaped zipper, a hallmark of 1940s and 1950s military production. The original neck tag is present but washed blank.
-
Condition ("Salty"): This vest tells a story. It shows true field/deck wear with scattered light spots and stains (likely deck paint) on the front and back. However, there are no rips, and the alpaca pile is still thick.
-
Fit: Fits like a modern men's Small.
