With the details of the US AIR FORCE nylon flight suit "FLYING SUIT / TYPE K-2A" manufactured in the early 1950s as a motif, the greatest characteristics of military gear are "practicality, functionality and durability." It is a total series that focuses on "sa".

The material of this series was inspired by the flying suit of the time, and it is a completely original product that was newly developed from thread to structure with the high technology of Made in Japan. Nylon filaments that are strong against friction and flexibility, smooth and shiny, are woven in an Oxford pique style that combines high density and lightness. The surface is treated with a sillage treatment to give it a unique luster and tension and elasticity.

Each item incorporates the details found in military items of the time, while incorporating specifications that fit everyday life. For the main zipper part, we attached a fully tanned cowhide leather pull to the wire automatic slider, and for the other zipper parts, we adopted the original semi-automatic slider pull with PORTER engraving. All models except for the string strap (17043) have an original specification tag sewn on a woven label that describes the standards for procuring military supplies. The original Insignia “PY AIR FORCE” is printed.

The oxygen tab, which was used in early MA-1 models to clip the oxygen mask cord, has been converted into a pocket that can hold a smartphone or other items.

For the shoulder strap, we sewed a combination of common parts and tape to our own specifications, and developed an epoch-making system that allows smooth adjustment with one action.

At that time, the USAIR FORCE soldiers had their own custom paintings on their flight jackets and aircraft bodies, thinking about their families, lovers, and hometowns. Inspired by this culture, this series uses two peaceful and charming "PILOT DOG'S" as original pinup dogs. This art was created by London-based graphic artist Russell Maurice. All models come with a tag with a "PILOT DOG'S" sticker.

This is a device holder that can also store large smartphones. There are 3 specifications to fix the holder, the saddle snap hook attached to the top, the nylon tape with hooks stretched vertically, and the hook-and-loop fastener tape on the side. You can attach it to places where you can easily carry it, such as D-Rings, bag straps, and belt loops on your pants.

The shop-limited color “Air Force Blue” is based on the color of the flight suit at the time, which was the motif. After repeated trial and error, we were finally able to reproduce this calm, deep color. Combined with the shiny nylon filament, it has a unique texture.
