1944 N1 Deck Jacket Elephant Skin Asphalt

This is a unique interpretation of the classic N1 Deck Jacket from Pike Brothers. While the original 1944 model was developed for the US Navy in Jungle Cloth, this edition features Pike Brothers' signature fabric: Elephant Skin. The result is a jacket with a historical silhouette, but with a texture and durability that is top-tier for vintage workwear enthusiasts.

This jacket is made from Pike Brothers' legendary "Elephant Skin" fabric, an extremely heavy cotton textile weighing 520 g/m² (approx. 15.3 oz). Elephant Skin is a heavy cotton satin with a construction similar to that used in traditional German guild clothing (Zunftbekleidung) in the 19th century. The fabric is so tightly woven that it is naturally wind and flame resistant, and it has a surface reminiscent of leather. Over time, the Asphalt color will develop a dramatic and beautiful patina, just like the most exclusive selvedge jeans.

The fit is the authentic, boxy 1944 model, allowing for movement and layering. To ensure you stay warm in the coldest conditions, the jacket is lined with a cozy, woven wool lining. The details are true to history: a robust Talon zipper, a wide placket to stop drafts, and hidden knitted cuffs in the sleeves. This is a high-quality jacket produced in Portugal, built to withstand the toughest elements year after year.
