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 the previous attributes of its predecessor, the B-15, because of interference or change in equipment of pilots. The Indian orange lining makes the jacket reversible and give it a high visibility. This will allow rescue personnel to see the pilot if a plane crashed. Popularity led to the production for the civilian population in the sage green and black, and now replica blue. The jacket has evolved, but is still the universal jacket in anyone’s wardrobe.

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the USAF MA-1 Flight Jacket I ordered from you. I’m a size 2XL Tall, and upon the advise of your size chart, I ordered a 3XL, and it fits perfectly. It is very well made, and looks as though it will outlast me. I just got it back from my dry cleaner/tailor this afternoon, where they sewed on all of my unit patches, U.S. Flag, name tag, etc. and it looks wonderful. When I tried it on, and looked in the mirror, I was beaming with pride. I posted pictures of it on one of our Facebook pages, Former U.S. Air Force “Ditty-Boppers” and it’s already gotten a lot of “Likes”. Hopefully, it will send some business your way. Thanks again, for a great product, at a fair price.

US Wings,
Just received the MA-1 jacket I ordered this past Friday, after a little mix up, not by you, but by UPS. I have to say that I have not been this happy with a purchase made online in many years. The quality of the jacket is of course superb, but the speed with which you processed and shipped the order took me completely by surprise. Thank you. In these days of slow and slipshod, it’s nice to see such great customer service. I will not only be purchasing from you again, but I will recommend your website to my friends and family. I wish you success, despite the challenges of the present economy, because I would hate to lose a company that does its business this well. Thanks again.
