These hooded smocks were issued to sailors for foul weather protection aboard ships and are increasingly difficult to find in larger sizes.This example retains numerous desirable original features, including:* Original WWII U.S. Navy issue
* Navy Department Contract NXSX-36721
* Original U.S.N. chest stencil
* Size Large
* Original lace-up front with metal-tipped drawcord
* Original hood
* Original cuff closures
* Rubberized waterproof construction
* Factory-original contract/size label (partially sewn into the hem during manufacture)The contract label is particularly interesting. It appears to have been sewn partially into the bottom hem during factory assembly, leaving the contract number visible while the upper portion remains hidden. This appears to be an original manufacturing quirk rather than a later alteration.
