The MA-1 History
The MA-1 became the flight jacket of US Air Force and Navy pilots and ground crew in the 1950s. It discarded attributes of its predecessor, the B-15, because of interference or change in equipment of pilots. The Indian Orange lining was added in 1960 to make the jacket reversible and give it high visibility. The popularity of the jacket allowed the MA-1 to be produced for the civilian population in the military green and black. The jacket has evolved, but is still the universal jacket in anyone’s wardrobe.

Just a quick note to say thank you. My son loves his jacket and it was worth the wait.
