Probably a 50s USN N1 deck parka.
The wooly liner must have provided considerable warmth and itching

Alpaca lined?
If so, that's a score-- in my opinion, for the sake of function. Not *quite* as toasty as shearling, but pretty close. Definitely better than poly-- at least for more civil, non-maritime applications (salt spray & alpaca could be terrible over time, I guess).
Either way-- I like it.

Thanks for your comments,
The liner, unfortunately, is not alpaca. It is a mix of wool and viscose material.
Warm, but itchy if worn against the skin. Back in those days, function, not comfort, was a priority.
This thing is still an amazing garment that has survived in excellent shape....
