McChord got its name from the United States Air Force base in northwest Pierce County, Washington. This jacket is a rebirth of the classic flight bomber jacket originally named MA-1.

The MA-1 was initially designed for the Air Force in the mid-1950s. Made out of high-quality nylon shell fabric, this easy-to-zip jacket provided pilots with perfect protection against cold conditions up in the air.

Our McChord jacket has retained all the original elements, including:

• Durable nylon fabric
• Warming insulation
• Classic metal zippers

Keeping all the standards, the McChord is taking the bomber jacket to another level with:

• Attractive trims
• Modern mélange inside lining
• Functional insulation

The insulation is made from Sustans®, which consists of renewable fibers from DupontTM and Sorona®. The Sustans® production process uses 30% less energy and consists of 37% renewable fibers compared to common insulation materials.
