Buzz Rickson's L-2B 'Scorpion' Light Weight Flight Jacket - Red

1 / 6

Field Notes

Buzz Rickson's have captured a piece of history with their L-2B Scorpion Flying Jacket. During promotional images for the F-89 Scorpion, two pilots were captured sporting MA-1 style flight jackets, in a crimson colour. Although the originals are extremely rare, the good people at Buzz Rickson's have resurrected the iconic design.

Introduced as a lighter version of the MA-1, the L-2B provides protection from the elements without weighing you down. Twin hand warmer pockets with button snap closures decorate the front and ribbed, cuffs, collar and waistband allow for a comfortable fit.
