M421A Type Summer Flight Jacket

DJ-1164 M421A Type Summer Flight Jacket

100% Cotton

Sizes 36 and 38 are sold out.

The design is based on the USN (United States Navy) summer flight jacket produced in the 1940s.

The original product number is M-421A type jacket, but there are two types of this product number, an early and late model, and the one planned this time is the late model.

The early model has an inner pocket and large elbow pads, but the later model has changed the inner pocket to a patch pocket attached directly to the chest and does not have elbow pads.

Since this is a flight jacket from that time, the sleeves are wide and not very suitable for street wear, but the later model has omitted the elbow pads, which made it possible to make the sleeves narrower. Therefore, I made the sleeves quite narrow (although still standard) so that they would not look out of place as modern street wear.

The back of the garment has a large bi-swing seam, which allows for easy arm movement.

In the vintage world, there are two versions of this jacket with the same product number, which can make collectors cry, but that's also what makes USN so interesting.

We have taken this masterpiece from the 1940s and given it a modern twist to make it more comfortable to wear.

This zip-up jacket can be worn as a cover-up from spring to summer, and as an inner layer from autumn to winter.
