Women's N-3B Parka

My dad and I both had this style jacket 40 years ago. As a daddy's girl...I had to match my daddy! 😀 His was actually Airforce issued. I looked for a long time for one, now that I'm an adult, and finally found it. It makes me happy to see in my closet....the minute I see the orange lining against the Navy coat color with the faux fur around the hood....I think of my childhood and my dad. It's a very warm coat...we live in SE Wisconsin. I got the ladies version. I ordered the men's for my husband. The men's is a warmer coat. I don't know what's different, but it is warmer than mine. Slightly heavier? So if you ladies want or need a slightly warmer coat for actually working in the elements....you may just try the men's instead. But mine is fine and comfortable for walks and going about from car to buildings, etc. I got the women's medium. I'm 5'3" and about 135 lbs.

I've been wearing this coat all week during the deep freeze in Austin, and it's kept me toasty warm walking for several hours in 10-20 degree temps. I don't have much cold tolerance (see: Austin) so I layer it over a base layer, flannel shirt, wool sweater and a hat and I've never been so cozy. The fur inside the hood is wonderful and soft, and the jacket is very light for how warm it is. Highly recommend! Also I'm not sure why folks seem to be having issues with the sizing - I'm a 40" hip and a 35" bust and the small is great, even with all the layers.

My gf loves it. She is an UK10 and she can go with a XS with moderate layering. This parka is roomy in the shoulders and a little bit tight in the waist and hip. The replica grey is greenish grey, it’s very unique and beautiful.

These Alpha jackets are one of the best made and highest quality jackets I've ever come across. Heavy and seems very warm. I love the thick nylon outer material. Really beautiful pieces. That being said it is the weirdest fitting jacket ever. Its tight at the hips and extremely loose at the shoulders, chest and arms. Not very noticeable when open but it looks ridiculous once you zip it up. I bought four different models determined to find one that isn't cut so strangely. Unfortunately i will have to send all four of them back. Very disappointing cause i know i wont find anything of this quality for a reasonable price or for that matter for three times this price. I usually wear xs (5'2" 125lbs and athletic) and i ordered the xs in these jackets. Maybe a taller female frame might be able to pull off the mis-cut of this jacket....?

This product was warm and well constructed but bulky and tight at the same time. At 5'7" 135 lbs and athletic build, I'm typically a size small but the top was very tight on my 34dd chest and the sleeves were a bit short and my butt was barely covered. There were vent pockets up by the chest too. If my hands were cold i'd basically be walking around hold looking like i was holding my boobs. When I sized up to medium, too much air could come up the bottom of the coat and the boob pockets still hit at the boob. This coat would look much better on a very short small chested girl. In fact, it appears that's the precise build in mind. Pity. The construction of this coat is a dream, the execution of the design a nightmare.

I love this coat! I've had my eye on it online for a while, but was unsure of the color as sometimes it looked super bright ( I got the Commander red). So glad I finally decided to buy it. It's a dark red without being burgundy. So pretty, and I got so many compliments! I work on movie sets and needed something warm for night shoots. I'm 5'4" 120lbs and I got the small. It fits well with room for layers underneath. The hood is amazingly warm and comfy too. Makes a great travel pillow on a plane. I highly recommend this coat.

I did a lot of research before buying this jacket. Put it into my cart about a month ago, and yesterday it went down to 1/2 off! Winning! Haven't tried it out in the cold yet, but it fits great (size down!), is very comfy even sitting down, and feels heavy enough to keep my cold little body warm in my first winter back from living in the tropics. I love the style. Started out searching for a "snorkel coat" like those from Sears in my 1970's childhood, and finally found this one. Color is right on, too - navy blue with orange inside. Pockets should have been open on the back instead of top, but they will still work for walking. A great buy/ find. Will report back when it gets cold.

Despite the "Women's" statement in the description, this is very far from being so. I was really excited about this jacket, and what a disappointment I received. First and foremost, this jacket is very well made and feels really warm when you put it on. However, this does not fit like a women's jacket at all. This seems like a man's jacket was taken and woman's label was slapped on it. It is incredibly large on the top. Large shoulders, arms openings, and very loose around a chest (and I do have a 34H cup). On the other hand, it is very snug on the bottom, and I usually do fit comfortably in most Large Size jackets, including a slim fit Parajumpers jacket. Additionally, the zipper is on the men's side, and it is really uncomfortable trying to zip when used to the other side. I am sure some will enjoy the durability and weather proof despite the shortcomings.
