Flight jackets to wear in the spring! Introducing our recommendations for jackets for the light zone! Page 3

Light zone” flight jackets to wear in spring (3) “L-2 series

The ” L-2 ” was born in 1945 at the end of World War II as a new flight jacket to replace the A-2. Leather, which had been used for flight jackets until then, became hard to obtain, and nylon, a revolutionary material at the time, was adopted. The design is very similar to the MA-1, but the L-2 was designed for the Army and the MA-1 for the Air Force, and the L-2 does not contain padding, so it does not look bulky. However, since the MA-1 is more well-known, many brands sell their products as MA-1 even if they are designed without padding in homage to the L-2. It should also be noted that “L-2” is olive drab, “L-2A” is air force blue, and “L-2B” is sage green, which are different shades.

L-2 recommended “HOUSTON L-2

Houston” is known for creating the first original flight jacket in Japan. The L-2 is no exception, with a silhouette that is neither too loose nor too tight, making it just right for everyday use. Since it does not contain padding, it is perfect for layering in the early spring.
