Nylon Flight · The Icon
Every bomber jacket
answers to this one.
The MA-1 is the jacket the word "bomber" means now — the nylon flight jacket worn for decades by US Army, Navy, and Air Force pilots, and copied by fashion ever since. Cockpit USA's recreation keeps the issue details: water-repellent nylon flight satin, polyester batting, knit collar and trim, storm-flapped zip, the sleeve pencil pocket — and the detail that matters most, the fully reversible emergency-orange interior built to make a downed pilot visible to rescue. Trim military fit. Made in the USA.
The emergency-orange reverse — visibility by design
The Material
Satin outside.
Signal inside.
Water-repellent nylon flight satin over polyester batting — light, warm, and weatherproof enough for the flight line.
The orange interior isn't styling. Pilots reversed the jacket in emergencies so recovery teams could spot them. Wear it either way; the story rides inside.
Construction
The issue jacket, detail for detail.
Fully reversible
Sage or black out; emergency orange in.
Front storm flap
Heavy-duty zipper with leather pull, sealed behind a flap.
Sleeve utility pocket
The MA-1's zippered pencil pocket, on the left arm.
Snap handwarmers
Two snap-close handwarmer pockets.
Knit collar, cuffs, waistband
The MA-1's defining knit trim — no bulk at the neck.
Poly batting insulation
Warmth without weight, per the issue pattern.
“Pilots reversed the jacket to signal recovery teams.”

not the imitation.
Fashion has copied the MA-1 for decades. Cockpit USA makes the recreation of the jacket the copies are copying — issue materials, issue details, and the reversible orange interior most imitations skip.

What Customers Say
Questions
Before you fly.
Is it really reversible?
Yes — fully. The emergency-orange interior was engineered for rescue visibility; pilots reversed the jacket during emergencies to signal recovery teams. Wear either side out.
MA-1 or B-15?
The B-15 came first — fur collar, snap pockets. The MA-1 replaced the fur with knit and added the reversible orange interior. Predecessor and successor, both in the lineup.
How warm is it?
Polyester batting under water-repellent flight satin — solid three-season warmth; pair with layers for deep winter, or step up to the insulated CWU-55/P.
How does the trim fit run?
Trim military fit, alpha sizes S–5XL. If you're between sizes or plan to layer, size up.
Is this the fashion MA-1?
It's the jacket the fashion versions copy — Cockpit USA's faithful recreation of the military-issue MA-1, with the issue details intact.
Made in USA?
Yes — made in the USA by Cockpit USA.
