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 used in the initial model of the MA-1 to fix the cord of the oxygen mask with a clip has been made into a pocket that can store smartphones and 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 versatile sling strap. It can also be used as a camera strap for single-lens reflex cameras, as a shoulder strap for your bag or pouch, or as a neck strap to hang your travel case or wallet from your neck. Pass the ring at the end of the sling strap through the D-Rings-ring or double ring of the item to be combined, and tie it tightly. The adjuster of the strap sews a combination of general parts and tape with unique specifications, enabling smooth movement with one action.

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.
