The TAD MA-1 Flight Jacket Vintage Edition features a satin twill weave exterior shell that matches the satin found in traditional MA-1Bomber Jackets.
With the introduction of jet aircraft in the late 1940s aviators began to fly at higher altitudes and in colder temperatures, precipitating a demand for a new type of flight jacket.
This eventually evolved into the MA-1 jacket. Building on this legacy of functional design and iconic styling, TAD reimagined this classic style for 21st century missions in and out of the cockpit.
