MA1 jacket info

[Damiano]

hello, I was wondering if anyone has info regarding this jacket. thank you I hope I can gain some insight.

The model would be a L-2B jacket, I guess.

Most likely a repro, as the embossed pocket studs and the matching small fabric tab on the sleeve pocket would make a USAF issued jacket unlikely...

Have you looked inside the pockets? Are there any labels inside?

Thank you for the answer, yes I checked everything but no label, not even a sign of ripped one. Do you have any source where i can know more about the history of it? Im curious but I can’t find a lot unfortunately

Agree with Ties that this is a repro but probably an MA-1 given the lack of epaulettes, lack of buttoned flap at the bottom of the zip, and the apparent weight of the jacket. Without some sort of label it's nigh on impossible to trace this in any way. Might be worth trying to do an image search on that little fabric tab on the sleeve pocket (looks like some form of brand mark). The zipper is too generic to be a useful marker. My gut is that this is probably a relatively cheap repro/mall jacket. But maybe some MA-1 expert out there has a better idea?

Cheers,

Steve
