buzz rickson's | br12984 l-2a 'superior togs' flight jacket
the type l-2a was introduced in 1951 during the korean war as the successor to the l-2, the first flight jacket to use nylon instead of leather as its main fabric. the l-2a also replaced olive with blue as its color, which was intended to underline the new independence of the u.s. air force from the u.s. army.
buzz rickson's version is a faithful reproduction of an old original jacket from back then and is made in japan from lightweight but robust nylon fabric and lined with a blend of 50% wool and 50% nylon. the perfect jacket for the whole year.
