Alpha Industries MA-1 TT Flying Tigers Jacket - Black
The MA-1 jacket, made of durable, damage-resistant materials, effectively protects against cold, wind and moisture. Its reversible design, inspired by its original use for USAF pilots, allows it to be worn both in the classic style and with a visible orange side, which improves visibility in difficult conditions. With its carefully designed construction and numerous practical pockets, the jacket is ideal for both everyday use and outdoor activities.
Durable materials and reversible design
The outer layer is made of sturdy and abrasion-resistant nylon, which protects against wind and moisture.
The MA1 can be worn on either the right or left side. The inside has a distinctive orange colour, referring to the original purpose of MA-1 jackets, which were used by USAF pilots. In the event of an emergency landing or being shot down, the bright colour increased the chances of being quickly found by emergency services. Nowadays, this solution can be useful when walking on unlit roads.
Thermal strip and elastic cuffs
The MA-1 Heritage jacket fastening is a one-way zip with a synthetic leather puller, making it easy to use when wearing gloves. An internal thermal strip protects the zip, providing additional protection from the cold. Elastic ribbing at the collar, cuffs, and waist secure the jacket against the cold and improve the fit.
5 practical pockets
The jacket has five roomy pockets:
- two front ones closed with flaps and press studs,
- two inside pockets closed with press studs,
- one on the left sleeve, closed with a zip.
The Remove Before Flight tag was placed on the sleeve next to the pocket, adding to the military style. The jacket features Flying Tigers unit markings.
