This is a U.S. Navy AW-1 vest-style hood, designed to be worn underneath the AL-1 deck jacket, with the fur-trimmed hood exposed through the jacket collar.
Issued in the early 1950s and produced by Willis & Geiger, the piece features an alpaca-lined body, cotton shell, and coyote fur trim.
This layered configuration exemplifies the Navy’s approach to modular cold-weather gear, optimizing warmth and protection while maintaining mobility at sea.
