Product Description

This "TYPE MX-8 flight jacket" is not just military wear. In fact, it can be given a new role as a "jacket made for flying in the city sky." The orange lining and boa hood, which are symbols of flight jackets, can be said to be "modern wings" that provide protection in the city while also making you stand out.

By applying the functionality of the traditional pilot jacket to urban life, a new interpretation is born. The orange lining goes beyond its role of being conspicuous in the event of an emergency and is now seen as an element for "showing your presence". By utilizing this, it is an item that can play an iconic role in daily travel and active scenes in the city. The boa hood is considered a "self-defense function" to shut out the hustle and bustle of the city and cold stares, rather than protecting from external enemies.


Year

Although it is a product of the 80s and 90s, this jacket has a design that looks to the future. Rather, it has timeless elements and can be used as future streetwear beyond the era. In other words, wearing this jacket makes you feel like a "time traveler" who connects the past and the future.


Production area

Focusing on the fact that it is made in Italy, it has the meaning of "wings to take off from the fashion capital". The jacket, meticulously crafted by Italian craftsmen, serves as the "armour" of the modern adventurer. It is an item designed to safely and stylishly traverse the jungle called the city.


Styling suggestions

  1. Eccentric urban style Pair this jacket with brightly colored pants and sneakers for a look that will draw attention as you fly through the city skyline. Stand out from the crowd and become a symbol of the city. By showing the orange lining on the front, you can create a style that stands out like a work of art.

  2. Mysterious Pilot Style This mysterious style focuses on the functional beauty of the flight jacket and pairs it with black denim and dark-toned shoes. You can wear it with the hood up, or take it off and wear it with a tight inner layer to create a "shadowy presence" in the city. Like a pilot on a secret mission, it attracts attention from those around you, but its true nature is mysterious.

  3. Reversal style This is a reversal idea of ​​wearing a jacket inside out, with the lining, which is the symbol of flight jackets, as the main focus. This overturns the usual appearance and creates a style that is not bound by convention. The jacket itself becomes an art piece, and when you wear it, it reverses the street itself, realizing creative styling.


This jacket is not just a military jacket, but is a "modern pilot suit" for urban life and future adventures. Enjoy the jacket with a new perspective.
