This is a total series that focuses on the greatest characteristics of military gear, "practicality, functionality, and durability," with the motif of the details of the U.S. AIR FORCE nylon flight suit "FLYING SUIT / TYPE K-2A" manufactured in the early 1950s. The material of this series was inspired by the flying suits of the time, and is a completely original product newly developed from thread to structure with the high technical capabilities of Made in Japan. Nylon filaments that are resistant to friction and bending, smooth and glossy, are woven into an Oxford pique style that is high density and lightweight. The surface is treated with a silley finish to give it a unique gloss and firmness. Each item incorporates details seen in military goods of the time, while also being sprinkled with specifications that fit everyday life. The main zipper part has a wire automatic slider with a full-tanned cowhide leather pull, and the other zipper parts have semi-automatic slider pullers with an original PORTER stamp. All models except for the string strap (17043) have an original spec tag with a motif of a woven label that lists the standards for procuring military supplies, and an original insignia "P.Y. AIR FORCE" printed on it, based on the insignia that lists the nationality and unit. The oxygen tab used in the early MA-1 models to secure the oxygen mask cord with a clip has been made into a pocket that can store smartphones, etc. The shoulder straps are sewn with a combination of general parts and tape to unique specifications, and an innovative system has been developed that allows smooth adjustment with one action. ■Patent No. 6698930 / Design No. 1659605 At that time, U.S. AIR FORCE soldiers custom painted their flight jackets and aircraft bodies, thinking of their families, lovers, and hometowns. Inspired by that culture, this series uses two peaceful and charming "PILOT DOG'S" as the original pin-up dogs. This art was commissioned to be created by London-based graphic artist Russell Maurice. All designs come with a tag with a PILOT DOG’S sticker. This is a 2-way pouch with a hand strap. It is compact yet has plenty of storage space, allowing you to store your smartphone, wallet, and other essentials. It can also be used as a bag-in-bag pouch. The shop-exclusive Air Force Blue color is based on the color of the flight suit that inspired it. After much trial and error, we finally managed to recreate this calm, deep color. The glossy nylon filament creates a unique texture. *The images shown may differ slightly from the actual product. Please be aware of this beforehand.
