The Real McCoy’s have pulled out all the stops on this beautiful MA-1 reproduction. The nylon used is a custom-produced fabric that authentically replicates the characteristics of 1950s-era Nylon 66. Nylon 66, invented by DuPont Co., became the material of choice for military jackets due to its superior durability and flame resistance. The fabric has a tough yet smooth hand with a high shine.
The Real McCoy’s version of the MA-1 benefits from genuine wool ribbing and cotton wool pile interlining—two period-accurate details that were replaced by acrylic in later iterations of the jacket. The brass dot buttons are MIL-SPEC and black oxide-treated, as are the 1950s Talon sleeve zippers and wire front zipper. This version of the MA-1 also includes diagonal snap-closed slash pockets and the all-important pen pocket detailing on the upper left arm.
