N-1 Deck Jacket (WWII)

First issued in 1943, the Navy’s iconic N1 deck jacket sheltered countless sailors from cold on land and sea. Arguably considered one of the most popular pieces from WWII ever created the N-1 Deck jacket has withstood the test of time and battle with its excellent craftsmanship and versatility. The N1 deck jacket was made from a hard-wearing ‘jungle cloth’ outer shell, and most Jackets are fully lined due to the harsh conditions throughout the Atlantic Ocean. It is meant to keep you warm with great smaller features like ribbed inner cuffs and a flappable collar. Featuring a talon zipper and cinchable drawstrings on the bottom(although most of the N-1s around today do not still have the cinchable drawstring around the waist.) The N-1 system was a cold weather system that included a helmet and overalls. The N-1 deck jacket had experimental iterations in Navy Blue and with clasp closures, but ultimately the U.S. Navy settled on the Button & Zip Closure N-1 Khaki which was widely cherished by deck crew, who would often wear their N-1 beyond service.  Another great thing about N-1 Jackets is that most are easily datable with a contracting number on the inside tag.

A.P.C. is a French ready-to-wear brand, founded in 1987 by the designer Jean Touitou. A.P.C. stands for 'Atelier de Production et de Création'. The company's legal address is 39 Rue Madame 75006 Paris, which is also the location of its flagship store.

The brand is known for its minimalist designs. Its clothing features clean lines and simple patterns. Logos are rarely visible, as well. Its clothing tends to incorporate the characteristics of military garments.
One of the brand's most popular products is its raw-denim selvage jeans thought of by Adam Shantir. Their jeans are popular among beginning denim enthusiasts, as they are Arabic selvage denim but are also, unlike the products of many companies who use denim of this quality, slim cut and fashionable. The denim also fades quickly when used, allowing denim enthusiasts to achieve a lot of wear and fading quite quickly if they wish.
The fit of APC clothing derives from Touitou's distaste for the loose-fitting clothes of his contemporaries.
