USAF
L-2
Flight jacket
Made by AMERICAN PAD & TEXTILE CO.
original
The world's first flight jacket made of nylon
This is L-2.
I really can't find this jacket.
The padding is thin and the silhouette is slim and beautiful.
You'll understand once you try it on.
The label and the Air Force mark below it
Left sleeve decal remaining
Leather oxygen tabs
CROWN zipper on cigarette pocket
It retains plenty of details that give it the feel of an L-2.
inside a nylon flight jacket
The most difficult to obtain, and if it's in reasonably good condition
It easily exceeds 200,000.
Condition is
Front zipper replacement, sleeve ribbing damage.
The nylon has stains and dirt all over.
This item will be sold without professional cleaning.
Since it's made of nylon, stains and dirt are...
I think it's also possible to reduce (thin out) it.
Regarding the sleeve ribbing, it has also been replaced.
Even if it's worn out, it's better if it has the original parts.
I think it's good to have options.
If you can take a positive view of that...
I don't think you'll find another opportunity to get it at this price point anywhere else.
Personally, I'd like to keep the intimidating atmosphere as it is.
I thought it would be better to just replace the sleeve cuffs and wear it.
What do you think?
This is a jacket that makes you nod in agreement, saying, "This is a good jacket."
