The jacket is really great, size M fits perfectly on a person who is 1.8 m tall and weighs 83 kg (even with a sweater underneath). I was only surprised that the hood is not detachable – only the fur from the hood can be removed.
Alpha Industries N3B VF 59 Fitted Jacket - Black
A winter, thigh-length jacket in black, designed for use in low temperatures and demanding weather conditions. The extended fit provides effective protection for key areas of the body against cold and wind. It is equipped with a deep hood with synthetic fur that shields the head from unfavorable weather.
Jackets from the VF (Vintage Fit) line feature a modified fit that is narrower than in classic Alpha Industries models. This provides a better fit to the body while maintaining comfort in use.
Durable outer material, nylon lining
The outer shell consists of wind- and moisture-resistant nylon. Inside, a nylon lining paired with polyester insulation ensures effective thermal retention and reliable comfort during subzero conditions.
Main closure, thermal flap
A zipper serves as the primary closure, shielded by an outer thermal flap equipped with oversized buttons that are simple to operate, even when wearing thick gloves.
6 spacious pockets
The jacket features 6 functional pockets for optimal utility:
- two spacious, insulated chest pockets secured with snap buttons
- two lower pockets equipped with flaps and snap button closures
- a flight pocket located on the left sleeve, complete with a zipper and the iconic red "Remove Before Flight" tag
- a compact inner pocket
Deep hood
Designed without a conventional collar, the jacket comes equipped with an integrated hood and a removable synthetic fur trim to shield the neck area.
Elastic cuffs, internal waistband
Elastic cuffs concealed within the sleeves shield hands from frost and cold winds. An extra internal waist drawcord delivers enhanced defense against low temperatures.

I really like these jackets. I have had an Alpha N3-B parka in sage green for eight years now and I wear it practically on every occasion. It’s really comfortable and warm – when it’s warmer, I wear it unzipped, and when it gets cooler, I zip it up to my neck and put on the hood. I really appreciate the numerous pockets for personal items. Recently, I decided to order the black version from Military eu – I’m very satisfied with it, the jacket met my expectations, looks great, and seems sturdy for years to come. The shipment arrived a week after I placed the order, which shows excellent service.

Super, I've been hunting for this jacket for a long time. I got it on sale and bought it. 3XL for a big guy, 140 cm chest/180 cm height. You can still add a lightweight fleece. Very comfortable jacket.
-
The jacket was delivered a week after placing the order. It's original. I used the previous model (n3b slim fit) for over a decade. For a person who is 180 cm tall and weighs 75 kg, size M is perfect, even with a slightly looser fit. Size L turned out to be really large (I checked personally). The only downside is that I had to order by phone because the website did not allow me to complete the order!

I won’t elaborate on all the benefits and advantages of owning this jacket, I think my husband's answer to the question "How many years have you had the jacket?" is enough—the answer was "my whole life," and he is 55 years old. Five years ago, he bought me a winter jacket (ecru) for my birthday—super warm. Unfortunately, I made a mistake and washed it in the washing machine at 30°C, but the leather inserts stained the fabric. I wrote to various companies to dye it black or navy, but no one wanted to take the risk. With a heavy heart I had to get rid of it. Let this be a warning.

The jacket is quite warm and functional, the delivery was fast, but I expected better quality. After two weeks of use, several buttons fell off, and a seam on the hood tore because it was poorly stitched. The material is also not very durable. Previously, products from this brand were of much better quality.
-
The jacket is warm and well made. The sheepskin around the neck is so high that you can easily forget about a scarf or snood. The cut is really narrow - it's worth taking that into account when choosing the size.
-
For eight years I used the previous version of this product and was very satisfied, so I didn't want to change to another model when purchasing a new one. The product is functional, durable, provides warmth, and matches many styles. I ordered the same model, changing only the color from green to black. Size as described, express delivery. It's a great brand, flagship model, and my favorite store. Thank you to everyone, I wear it with joy. I definitely recommend it!

I ordered this jacket and I can say that it is really comfortable. I chose size M for my height of 1.80 m and weight of 70 kg – it's well-fitted, the pockets are practical, and the hood is easy to adjust. Occasionally, the material may have small abrasions, which can be gently removed with a cigarette or lighter flame. Overall, I am satisfied with the jacket and everything about it suits me.
-
The jacket is very, very warm, probably best to take it off in the car. It's a pity the fur isn't real, but that's just the current policy. There's really nothing to complain about. The sleeves are a bit longer, but that's actually good. The collar is very high and snug, providing good protection for the neck. It's very comfortable and has a nice shine, giving this 'military' jacket a luxurious look. 110kg, 185cm, XL fits perfectly. You just need to burn off a few threads and you can wear it for the rest of your life.
-
Great jacket for cool and windy days. The VF59 model fits very well, does not constrict, and is comfortable. I am 175 cm tall and weigh 100 kg, size XL fit perfectly, only the sleeves need shortening 😂. The shipment to Finland arrived in less than a week, so I am very satisfied and plan to shop again.
-
Mega jacket. Great workmanship. Top quality. I have several jackets of this type but this one beats all the others. I highly recommend it, with a clear conscience. With a height of 178 cm, 85 kg weight and an athletic build, size M is okay.
-
A warm, long jacket. Perfect for winter and the coldest frosts. The quality is very good; this manufacturer always knows how to make a solid product. I'm a fan. I recommend it.
-
I hesitated for a long time whether to buy this jacket, the price was steep, but I finally decided to go for it. The jacket is very warm and comfortable, it lacks a few pockets, but that's just my quirk. Overall, it's very warm and comfortable. I recommend it.
-
The jacket is worth its price, very light for its size. The fur at the hood is a bit hard to detach, especially if you have big fingers. Better leave it to the kid :). Maybe this will help someone, I'm 187/96 and ordered size L because that’s what I thought after measuring myself. After trying it on, the sleeves were a bit too short, and when I put a thick sweatshirt underneath, I felt a bit "tight" when the jacket was zipped. I exchanged it for XL, and it fits perfectly.
