The MA-1 was introduced in the 1950s and immediately established itself as the classic aviator jacket of the fighter jet era. It was specially designed for the colder climates. (-5 ° C) Furthermore, the jacket can be turned inside out, so that the Indian-orange colored inner lining could be used for better visibility in an emergency.
This made it easier to localize pilots who had crashed and to find them quickly by rescue teams. The MA-1 was introduced in 1959 and pilots were equipped with this jacket until 1977. Even Jack Yeager was wearing this jacket when he broke the sound barrier. The unique quality is created by 57 perfectly coordinated sewing sections in the production of each individual Alpha MA-1.
