Flight Jacket MA-1 VF 59 Bomber - BLACK

A mid-weight flight nylon with water resistance and scads of versatility, the MA-1 Navy fighter pilot jacket was the first military flight jacket to cross over into civilian fashion.

The MA-1 VF 59 range is a tailored less bulky version of the core MA-1 Alpha flight jacket. VF Stands for Vintage Fit and creates a smart appearance when worn. The MA-1 VF-59 design goes back to the mid-1950s,

The nylon flight jacket includes knit cuffs, a knit collar and waistband, as well as a strong front zipper with storm flap for warmth. There are multiple snap-closure pockets as well as the utility/pencil pocket with the "Remove Before Flight" keychain. The MA-1 jackets are reversible to bright orange, making them ideal for rescue missions and other times when visibility is imperative.

This current version has been kept as close as possible to the classic specifications (dating back to the early 1950’s) and also received several revisions during the 1960’s.
