About This Jacket:

This jacket is a very clean and sharp example of a 1950s MA-1 by Lion Uniform, a large USAF contractor who made almost all of the garments issued to flight crews at the time. Lion had some details unique to their design, such as a brown oxygen hose tab, Crown zippers, and the wind flap being either short on the top or bottom of the body (or both). This jacket is also typical of an X-Large, and other companies XLs may have been somewhat similar in size. The cuffs and collar are replacements, and the patches were added later from another collection, but do match each other. The name plate and plastic hodler are from Mash Co.

Collection:
George Harris
