The Real McCoy’s Jackets And Coats<U.S.N. M-43 Deck Jacket Navy

Arguably the finest Americana reproduction brand from Japan, the Real McCoy’s painstakingly recreate and update original garments for the modern day offering the best from the past, replicated to perfection without compromise in Japan. 

Developed in 1943 and introduced in 1944, the Deck Hook Jacket was the predecessor of the N-1 and replaced the ‘Deck Zip’ model, changing the front closure from a zip to a unique metal hook type fastener. This change reduced corrosion from salt water and allowed for easier fastening, making it synonymous with WWII U.S. Navy clothing. 

There were variations in the specifications of M-43, the contract produced by The Real McCoy’s includes ‘D’ patch pockets and a single latched clip at bottom, while other variations or contracts had a double closure at the hem. A rayon interlining is incorporated between the jungle cloth outer fabric and wool lining, which provides high thermal protection. The iconic clip closure (borrowed from Fireman’s Coats at the time which could be unclipped wearing heavy-duty gloves) is paired with wool rib cuffs & cotton sewing threads used throughout.
