MA-1 Bomber Jacket Black with USA Embroidered Presidential Eagle Seal

Introducing the MA-1 President's Bomber Jacket in black from the only official and United States Trademarked White House Gift Shop!

The MA-1 Bomber Flight Jacket an iconic piece born in the 1950s to meet the demanding needs of jet aircraft pilots. Originally developed from its predecessor, the B-15 flight jacket, the MA-1 was crafted to enhance pilot performance, safety, and comfort amidst the advanced capabilities of new jet technology.

Historically, flight personnel wore fleece-lined leather jackets until the advent of jet aircraft, which could fly higher and in colder conditions. Heavy leather jackets proved impractical as they could freeze when wet, posing discomfort at high altitudes. With streamlined cockpit designs emphasizing quick and unimpeded access, a lighter, warmer alternative was essential. Enter the MA-1, initially designed in cotton and later refined in high-quality nylon—first issued to U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots, and later adopted by Army personnel.

In 1963, Alpha Industries secured the MA-1 manufacturing contract, ushering in broader availability across Europe and beyond, where it quickly gained popularity among air forces and commercial customers alike.
