Buzz Rickson's x William Gibson L-2B Flight Jacket 'Long' - Black

1 / 6

Field Notes

The iconic Type L-2B flight jacket has been brought up to date with a brilliant collaboration with cult author, William Gibson. This all black, nylon shelled jacket was introduced as a lighter option to the classic MA-1, and provides protection from the elements, without weighing you down.

A custom manufactured Crown zipper has been added to the front closure, which sits alongside a nylon oxygen tab, and twin hand warmer pockets with button snap fasteners. The iconic body shape of this jacket remains, while knitted wool cuffs, collar, and waistband offer the perfect custom fit. For a touch of interest, the brand have included a vivid blue nylon lining, which encases a protective thermal membrane.
