Field Notes

The AL-1 is a winter flight jacket that has been utilised by the U.S. Navy since the late 1940s. Constructed from a high density cotton twill, the shell of this jacket is incredibly durable with the body being insulated with an alpaca/wool lining to ensure warmth during colder weather. The distinctive feature of this jacket is the ribbed hand-warmer pockets that provide extra insulation and windy protection against harsh weather. The large collar and chinstrap help to insulate the neck when needed and the waist adjusters on the inside of the jacket, allow you to tighten the fit.
