PORTER FLYING ACE DEVICE HOLDER 863-17936

This comprehensive series, inspired by the details of the U.S. Air Force's nylon flight suit "FLYING SUIT / TYPE K-2A," manufactured in the early 1950s, focuses on the most important characteristics of military gear: practicality, functionality, and durability. Special page: https://www.yoshidakaban.com/special/pfa.html The materials for this series were inspired by the flying suits of the time and are entirely original, newly developed from the yarn to the weave using advanced Japanese technology. The smooth, lustrous nylon filament, resistant to friction and flexibility, is woven into a high-density, lightweight Oxford pique-like fabric. The surface is treated with a sire finish for a unique sheen and firmness. Each item incorporates details found on military gear of the time, while incorporating features suited to everyday life. The main zipper features a wire automatic slider with a fully tanned cowhide leather pull, while the other zipper sections feature semi-automatic pullers with a custom PORTER logo. All styles except the string strap (17043) feature an original spec tag sewn on, based on the woven label containing military supply procurement specifications. The original "P.Y. AIR FORCE" insignia, based on the insignia indicating nationality and military unit, is printed on the bag. The oxygen tab used to secure the oxygen mask cord with a clip on the early MA-1 model has been repurposed as a pocket for storing smartphones and other items. The shoulder straps are sewn with a unique combination of standard parts and tape, allowing for smooth, one-action adjustment, resulting in a revolutionary system. ■ Patent No. 6698930 / Design No. 1659605 Back then, U.S. Air Force soldiers would custom paint their flight jackets and aircraft to reflect memories of their families, loved ones, and hometowns. Inspired by this culture, this series features two charming, peaceful "PILOT DOG'S" pinup dogs. This art was commissioned from London-based graphic artist Russell Maurice. Each item comes with a "PILOT DOG'S" sticker tag. This device holder can accommodate even larger smartphones. It features three fastening points: a snap hook at the top, a vertical nylon tape with a hook and eye closure, and a horizontal hook and loop fastener. It can be attached to a D-ring, bag strap, or pants belt loop, or anywhere convenient for you. The shop-exclusive "Air Force Blue" color is based on the color of the flight suits from the era that inspired it. It took numerous trials and errors to achieve this deep, calm hue. The combination with the lustrous nylon filament creates a unique texture. Please note that the actual product may differ slightly from the images shown.
