MA-1 Bomber Jacket

MA-1 Bomber Jacket

This wouldn’t be the first time I’ve owned a Bomber Jacket, but the MA-1 Bomber Jacket by Wtaps is definitely the first time I’ve considered spending almost 1000 euro on one! The MA-1 Bomber jacket is not a new look, originally designed in the 1950’s to keep American fighter pilots warm and dry at high altitudes, the design and appeal of the jacket has evolved considerably over the last 60 years. More specifically, the bomber jacket became popular in Europe, North America, and Australia during the punk and mod movement of the 80’s. Originally available in blue and green, Wtaps has produced theirs in a minimalist olive drab color. In creating their clothes and accessories in Japan, Wtaps believes in maximizing the potential of a product, within the limits of the design. The MA-1 Bomber Jacket does exactly that. Staying true to the original design of the jacket, Wtaps incorporates contemporary details that are consistent with clean modern look and feel. Get yours here.
