■Buzz Rickson's Flight Jacket BLACK MA-1 1st Model Albert Turner Long Length William Gibson BR15772
 Model Height: 175 cm, Weight: 62 kg, wearing size L This is a faithful reproduction of the Albert Turner company's MA-1, which, along with the Lion Uniform company's model, was a popular early MA-1 known as the 1st model. Among the many flight jackets, the MA-1 is the most popular and longest-lived. The MA-1 was developed in the 1950s, replacing the B-15 series, which had been the official flight jacket until then. The biggest difference from previous jackets was the "absence of a collar." Its development was closely linked to the development of the latest fighter jets at the time. Since then, minor improvements have been continuously made, and as the ultimate in functional beauty, it has transcended the military sphere and has come to have a major impact on the world as a fashion item. This is a long model with an extended length. ＜WILLIAM GIBSON COLLECTION＞ A special collection series of Buzz Rickson's flight jackets produced by American novelist William Gibson. It features a black color not found in the original, and the quality is made as faithful as possible to the original jacket. Weight: 1730g  Buzz Rickson's is a military brand of Toyo Enterprises, which owns vintage American casual brands such as Sugar Cane and Sun Surf. The company's relationship with the military dates back to its predecessor, Kosho Co., Ltd., when it supplied souvenir jackets (such as Sukajan) to US military bases. In 1993, it launched its first flight jacket. Since then, the military wear it has reproduced has been as perfectly crafted as Sun Surf's Hawaiian shirts and Sugar Cane's denim wear.   
 Model Height: 175 cm, Weight: 62 kg, wearing size L  Model Height: 175 cm, Weight: 62 kg, wearing size L  Wind Flap The rectangular flap, a characteristic of early models. The wind flap, which incorporates the same wool pile used in the body, prevents cold air from entering through the gaps in the zipper rail. The zigzag top stitching secures the pile and simultaneously suppresses bulk, contributing to mobility. Zipper The large zipper with a leather pull tab can be opened and closed even while wearing pilot gloves. The slider has an interlocking mechanism that constantly engages the zipper rail, and the lock is released when the pull tab is slid up or down, an innovative mechanism that prevents the zipper from moving unintentionally. Pocket Bag Fabric The fabric, woven with rayon in the warp and wool in the weft, allows both sides to be used as a single piece of cloth. The wool side is brushed to give it thickness and is used for the MA-1 pocket fabric, while the rayon side is used for the L-2B lining to ensure slipperiness and mobility. Size Details
