USAF L-2A Flight Jacket by Buzz Rickson's Size 38
This is a beautiful example of an early 1950s US Air Force L-2A flight jacket. Manufactured by Buzz Rickson’s from Japan, this jacket was acquired two years ago in Osaka, home of Buzz Rickson’s company. The L-2A was created in the early 1950s during the Korean War conflict, it saw action in that war and was presented to fighter pilots in the front air bases flying mainly the F-86 Sabre. It served the USAF aviators until the late 1950s and was superseded by the L-2B in Sage Green color. This wonderful product by Buzz Rickson’s is perfect in all details, from the nylon shell to the silkish liner both in their accurate Air Force Blue. The jacket comes with a wonderful set of embroidered patches of a Fighter Squadron flying the venerable F-101 VooDoo fighter which was one of the premier fighter squadrons flying the aircraft in the Mid 50s and until the 1960s in the Vietnam War. Other decorations are a canvas nametag with pilot name and Major leather rank bars on the shoulders. The standard USAF roundel decal is present on the left shoulder however it has peeled off a little bit. Beautiful metal Crown Zippers on both the front and the left arm pocket are another excellent detail. Shoulders width: 18.5 in. Pit to Pit: 22 in. Back length: 25 in. Arm length: 26 in. The jacket is in perfect condition with no major signs of wear, no rips nor holes on the material. The wool cuffs and waistband are free of holes and maintain perfect elasticity.
