Designed for pilots of the early jet age, the jacket made extensive use of (for the time) cutting-edge materials. In an era of supersonic speeds and pressurized cockpits, bulky leather and wool weren't going to cut it. By the time of the MA-1, major improvements in flight jacket cuts had been made. This svelte form factor was ideal for the cramped, high-stakes conditions faced by pilots of the time. Having mastered features of the earlier B-15, the MA-1's reversibility, low-profile collar, aggressive crop, and slightly less boxy feel culminated in a near-perfect design that has remained popular for decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE: These have been sitting in a vacuum-sealed bag for 30 years; they have a noticeable but temporary plasticky smell. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Short \u0026amp; Sweet: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage, made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCropped fit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeadstock; unworn \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSage and Navy colors available \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-sided zipper \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Nylon shell with synthetic insulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYes, it has the metal pen protectors \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are deadstock pieces manufactured by a defunct government contractor: Greenbrier Industries Incorporated. A producer of a myriad of USGI pieces from N3Bs to MA-1s, these are unworn and unsold pieces meant for non-government use. Unfortunately, the brand declared bankruptcy in 1993, with many of the jackets on offer here manufactured during its last year of existence. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith these, you're getting an authetnic made in the USA MA-1; brand new condition.

Stylish, practical, and timeless, these jackets are perfect for anyone from the limp-wristed latte artist to the self-taught geneticist with three chins and a receding hairline (he's 22).  Plenty warm and easy to style, the MA-1 is without question one of the most consequential fashion pieces of the 20th century. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","offers":[{"title":"Navy \/ Small","offer_id":67234501918961,"sku":"67234501918961","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Navy \/ Medium","offer_id":67234501951729,"sku":"67234501951729","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ Large","offer_id":67234501984497,"sku":"67234501984497","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ Extra Large","offer_id":67234502017265,"sku":"67234502017265","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy \/ XXL","offer_id":67234502050033,"sku":"67234502050033","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Sage \/ Small","offer_id":67234502082801,"sku":"67234502082801","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Sage \/ Medium","offer_id":67234502115569,"sku":"67234502115569","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage \/ Large","offer_id":67234502148337,"sku":"67234502148337","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sage \/ Extra Large","offer_id":67234502181105,"sku":"67234502181105","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Sage \/ XXL","offer_id":67234502213873,"sku":"67234502213873","price":149.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/7043\/8085\/files\/MA-1NavyFront.jpg?v=1792103877","url":"https:\/\/www.americanapipedream.com\/products\/deadstock-1990s-ma-1-bomber-jackets","provider":"Americana Pipedream Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
