The MA-1 flight jacket has been a source of pride for Air Force pilots. The ultra-lightweight thermal lining provides comfort and ease of movement, excellent cold and wind protection, and a refreshing feeling on the shoulders. The authentic details unique to Alpha, a manufacturer that supplies to the Pentagon, such as the placket inside the zipper to increase heat retention and the utility Pocket on the sleeve, are sure to make it a useful fashion item with their functional beauty. The orange lining is reversible, designed to be used as a life jacket so that it can be turned inside out in an emergency to make it easier to find.
What is MA-1?
This flight suit was adopted in the mid-1950s for intermediate zone (-10 to 10 degrees). It is also considered a benchmark for military wear as it is the perfect flight jacket with no unnecessary features. The orange lining is called rescue orange, a practical detail developed so that pilots who ejected from a fighter jet would be more easily spotted by rescue teams by wearing the orange side out.
