Introducing the classic flight jacket worn by the US military aviation for over 50 years. The MA-1, introduced in the 1950s, quickly became the iconic combat jet and military aviation jacket. Specifically designed for colder climates (-5°C), this jacket can also be reversed to reveal its Indian orange lining for better visibility in case of emergencies. This feature made it easier to locate pilots and assist rescue teams in finding them quickly. The MA-1 was introduced in 1959 and pilots were equipped with this jacket until 1977. Even Chuck Yeager wore this jacket when he broke the sound barrier. The unique quality of each Alpha MA-1 is achieved through perfect stitching alignment in its production. Outer material: Flight Nylon, fit: oversized, pencil pocket. Upper fabric: 100% Nylon | Lining: 100% Nylon | Padding: 100% Polyester.
