A Timeless Classic, Reimagined
Sporty’s Aviation Gifts has launched a new flight jacket that pays tribute to one of aviation’s most iconic flight jackets—the MA-1 bomber jacket. First issued to Air Force and Navy pilots in the 1950s, the MA-1 became a symbol of American airpower and aviation heritage. Now, Sporty’s brings that same spirit into the 21st century with its exclusive Modern MA-1 AeroWear™ Jacket, designed as the ultimate all-season jacket.
Originally designed for jet-age aviators, who flew aircraft like the legendary B-52 bomber, the MA-1 was celebrated for its durability, warmth, and utility. Sporty’s Modern MA-1 AeroWear Jacket honors that history while adding comfort and features available today. The exterior shell is crafted from a durable, water-resistant polyester, while ribbed knit cuffs, hem, and collar block the chill. Inside, a bold orange lining—the hallmark of the MA-1—has been reimagined with sublimated graphics that feature the B-52 Stratofortress, one of the most enduring symbols of American airpower.
With flight-deck functionality in mind, the jacket offers two zippered front pockets, two interior pockets, a shoulder pocket with pen/pencil sleeves, and custom zipper pull tabs. A right-chest PVC AeroWear patch, with hook-and-loop backing, allows for personalization with name tags or squadron-style patches.
The Modern MA-1 AeroWear Jacket is available exclusively from Sporty's Aviation Gifts for just $89.99.
