N-3 Parka was labeled "Specification No. 3110" and had an olive green nylon outer, wolf fur trim on brown sheepskin lined hood, and was wool blanket insulated with a nylon inner lining. Around 1950, after the U.S. Air Force separated from the Army, the model became N-3A, the specification became MIL-J-6279 and the nylon outer was USAF blue in color. By 1958 the parka was known as the N-3B, under specification MIL-J-6279A and was grey in color.
