Synonymous with military light zone jackets. This is an actual U.S. Air Force L-2B flight jacket made in 1970. Made of nylon, lightweight and highly durable, this model was designed for the "light zone," ideal for spring and fall, and was used by pilots throughout the Cold War period.
It is manufactured by the well-known ALPHA INDUSTRIES. The tag shows the specification number MIL-J-7448J (USAF) , proving that it was officially delivered to the U.S. military. The inside is designed with a bright orange lining that can also be used as a reversible specification to increase visibility in times of distress.
The left sleeve has a utility pocket with pen pocket, the front has two pockets with diagonally cut snaps, and the hem, sleeves, and collar are ribbed knit. It is a very popular fashion item that can be said to be the final evolution of the L-2B style that has been perfected.
This item has actually been used, and there are some patch removal marks on the chest and damage to the hem ribs. However, there are no tears or fatal damage to the fabric, and the condition is suitable for everyday use. Recommended for those who enjoy the realistic vintage look and feel, not for those who want the perfection of a new item.
This light and authentic flight jacket is easy to match with both American casual and mode. It is a well-balanced item that is perfect for both first-time vintage military wearers and for daily use by professionals. This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
