With the details of the U.S. AIR FORCE nylon flight suit "FLYING SUIT / TYPE K-2A" manufactured in the early 1950s as a motif, the greatest characteristics of military gear are "practicality, functionality and durability." It is a total series that focuses on "sa". The material of this series was inspired by the flying suit of the time, and it is a completely original product that was newly developed from thread to structure with the high technology of Made in Japan. Nylon filaments that are strong against friction and flexibility, smooth and shiny, are woven in an Oxford pique style that combines high density and lightness. The surface is treated with a sillage treatment to give it a unique luster and firmness. Each item incorporates the details found in military items of the time, while incorporating specifications that fit everyday life. For the main fastener part, a full tanning cowhide leather pull is attached to the wire automatic slider, and for the other fastener parts, a semi-automatic slider pull with an original PORTER engraving is used. All models except for the string strap (17043) have an original specification tag sewn on a woven label that describes the standards for procuring military supplies. The original Insignia “P.Y. AIR FORCE” is printed. For metal parts other than fasteners, we have adopted a special coating agent "CERAKOTE", which is mainly composed of ceramics and is currently used by the US military. The Oxygen Tab used in the initial model of the MA-1 to fix the cord of the oxygen mask with a clip has been made into a pocket that can store smartphones and other items. For the shoulder strap, we sewed a combination of common parts and tape to our own specifications, and developed an epoch-making system that allows smooth adjustment with one action. ■Patent No. 6698930 / Design No. 1659605 U.S. AIR FORCE soldiers at the time had their own custom paintings on their flight jackets and aircraft bodies, thinking of their families, lovers, and hometowns. Inspired by this culture, this series uses two peaceful and charming “PILOT DOG’S” as original pinup dogs. This art was created by London-based graphic artist Russell Maurice. All models come with a tag with a “PILOT DOG’S” sticker. *CERAKOTE A special coating agent with ceramic as its main component. It has excellent heat resistance, wear resistance, durability, and melt resistance, and clears the military specs specified by the U.S. military. Adhesion to the workpiece is extremely high, and it is scratch-resistant and difficult to peel off. Due to its high adhesion, it is difficult for water to enter under the paint, so it is difficult to corrode and has high heat insulation, so it is also used for heat-resistant paint around the engine of automobiles and motorcycles. This is a 3-way briefcase that can be carried by hand, on the shoulder, or on the back, depending on the occasion and purpose. It is a two-layer type with plenty of storage space, the front layer has a zippered mesh pocket, and the main layer has a PC storage pocket. It is a specification that can be accessed from the vertical direction so that the PC can be easily taken out even when used as a backpack. A versatile briefcase for any business occasion. The shop-limited color “Air Force Blue” is based on the color of the flight suit at the time, which was the motif. After repeated trial and error, we were finally able to reproduce this calm, deep color. Combined with the shiny nylon filament, it has a unique texture.
