The MA-1 stands as one of the most recognisable items of military gear in existence, with its green nylon fabric being co-opted by everything from jacket liners to Porter bags! As a brand that's built its name on faithful reproductions of this old school army gear, Buzz Rickson's understands exactly what makes the jacket so iconic, and this is clear with their Albert Turner edition of the jacket. This patched up iteration features designs inspired by the 71st Fighter Interceptor Squadron, who received three Presidential Unit Citations and five Outstanding Unit Awards. This jacket conforms to Air Defense Corps patch regulations, and notably features a large, rare patch of the 26th Air Division, to which the unit belongs, on the back.
Cut from a high quality nylon, the jacket has an incredibly sleek look perfect for a staple winter jacket. With wool and cotton blend collar, hem and cuffs, the MA-1 retains heat by fitting you snugly, but its forgiving shape means its never uncomfortable! Featuring two front pockets and a smaller pocket on the right arm, this jacket is an ideal choice for winter.
