[1990's] Schott MA-1 Bomber Jacket

Product Overview

This Schott MA-1 bomber jacket is a masterpiece that exquisitely combines the universal design of military wear with the essence of American casual wear. Schott is an American brand founded in New York in 1913, and is known for products that combine durability and design, such as rider jackets and flight jackets.

This MA-1 jacket is based on the flight jacket of the US Air Force at that time, but has been adapted to suit modern lifestyles. The nylon outer shell is durable, lightweight, and highly windproof. The glossy inner lining enhances heat retention, making it a reliable piece of clothing for the transition between seasons and in cold regions.

Of particular note is the subtle "Schott" embroidery on the chest and the "American College" tag on the lining. This tag is highly regarded as a detail that gives off a vintage feel while inheriting the traditional spirit of American college sports. Other details that combine functionality and design, such as the pen pocket on the sleeve and the ribbed hem and cuffs, are also not to be missed.

The MA-1 jacket was developed for the US Air Force in the 1950s and was originally designed for jet fighter pilots, but was later reinterpreted by Schott as casual wear and has become an essential item in street and fashion scenes.

Schott was founded in New York in 1913 and is also famous for being the brand that produced the world's first zippered jacket. Due to this historical background, Schott jackets have earned the trust of a brand that pursues functional beauty, and are still supported by many fashion enthusiasts as a symbol of American casual wear.

This MA-1 jacket comes with an "American College" tag, which enhances the vintage feel as a symbol of college sports style rooted in American student culture. This detail is a unique feature found in certain models from the 1990s, and is what sets it apart from other MA-1 jackets.
