The Bomber Jacket

by Buzz Rickson

£791.00 GBP

The Buzz Rickson Black MA-1 is a black essential, reimagining the iconic 1957 MA-1 Flying Jacket, hailed as the masterpiece of flight jackets. Originally manufactured by only four companies, including Albert Turner & Co., it features hallmark details like Albert Turner’s distinctive zigzag stitching to secure the wool pile lining. Crafted with jet-black vintage-spec heavy nylon twill, durable Crown zippers, and a minimalist design free of USAF markings, this limited-edition jacket, inspired by William Gibson’s Pattern Recognition, blends rugged authenticity with timeless anti-fashion appeal.
