Official NATO description

A combat jacket intended for use by flying personnel and designed to provide adequate warmth in any one of several temperature zones. It may be provided with oxygen hose clip tabs, communication wire tabs and/or special purpose pockets.

• Zip closure to front (YKK) with button secure wind-flap.
• Chest and waist pockets.
• Pen pockets on left arm.
• Epaulets.
• Velcro wrist.
• Drawstring cord hem and waist.
• In grade 1 – good condition.

Sizing Note: These jackets were manufactured to be worn by pilots wearing multiple thermal layer under the jacket. The labels will therefore show a chest size for a pilot wearing several layers beneath the jacket. Therefore, to assist in selection, the stated “to fit” dimensions we have provided are based on each jacket’s measured chest size, and therefore reflects the suitable chest size of a civilian wearer with just a shirt and jumper on.

Please see sizing guide for more details.

For those familiar with RAF sizing, you can find the applicable number at the end of the variant description.
