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 zipper part, we attached a fully tanned cowhide leather pull to the wire automatic slider, and for the other zipper parts, we adopted the original semi-automatic slider pull with PORTER engraving. 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 backpack that can be used for both daily and travel scenes. The interior of the two front pockets has a mesh pocket that can be further divided, and the main layer has a functional PC storage pocket that can be accessed from the top or side of the main unit. Both sides are equipped with a pocket with the motif of the radio pocket of an old military bag, and when you open the hook, there is a vinyl pocket for maps and pamphlets, and a convenient mesh pocket for storing folding umbrellas and plastic bottles. The shoulder pads of the rucksack also use a highly cushioned core material, so you can carry it on your back for a long time without stress. 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.
