This is an original, authentic U. The MA-1 was the standard-issue intermediate-weight flight jacket for USAF pilots and aircrew from the 1950s through the 1980s, designed for cold-weather use in non-combat flight environments. Made from 100% nylon with polyester fiberfill insulation, this jacket features a classic sage green outer shell and a high-visibility orange lining for emergency signaling. It includes two snap-closure hand pockets, a utility pocket on the sleeve, and knit cuffs, waistband, and collar. This particular jacket is in excellent condition, showing minimal signs of wear. The only blemish is a faint sharpie mark on the back (see photo). It’s otherwise clean, crisp, and intact-perfect for collectors, reenactors, or daily wear. Era: Likely late 1970s to early 1980s. “Jacket, Flyer’s Man Intermediate MA-1″. Color: Sage Green (outer) / Safety Orange (inner). Interlining: 100% Polyester Fiberfill. 2 front hand pockets (snap closure). 1 zippered sleeve utility pocket with pen slots. 2 Hidden inner-jacket pockets. Zipper: Heavy-duty with leather pull tab.
