The personnel in charge of directing the launch of carrier-based fighter aircraft from the mothership have the important task of adjusting the launch intervals and giving instructions to the aviators using signal flags. For the personnel exposed to strong winds on the deck of the mothership, the deck jacket, which provides wind protection, cold protection, and wind resistance, was a reliable companion. The deck jacket, which opens and closes with hooks on the front, is a later model adopted after the zipper type. The hook type was adopted to prevent the zipper from rusting due to seawater and becoming inoperable. The hooks are shaped to be easy to open and close even when wearing gloves during work. The material has not changed from the zipper type, and the front wind flap has a double-layer structure to prevent wind from entering. Because a snug fit like a flight jacket is not required, the deck jacket has an overall loose silhouette that is easy to move in and also has high cold protection, making it a masterpiece of workwear in the navy. 40 (L) / Approx. 48.5cm / Approx. 61.5cm / Approx. 69.0cm / Approx. 67.0cm I am selling this because I have worn it less often. #Buzzricksons #DeckJacket #AmericasCasual #Biker #Outerwear
