. Thanks for sharing this info! Bomber-jackets* are my favorite jackets! For how they fit and for how they look. :) *B-15/MA-1 I did not know about this info (B-15/MA-1) till I saw this video. So again, thanks for sharing this handy-info. :)
The book's title is: 'Suit Up! The Flight Jacket' and it was edited by Kesaharu Imai. Published (in Japan) by World Mook (that's not a typo - it really is World Mook, not World Book) in 1993 or 1994. The majority of the text is in japanese but that isn't really important as the contents consist mostly of fascinating pictures of flight jackets, aircraft and other aviation artefacts.
Nylon is lighter than leather. Nylon is rip resistant. Nylon is water repellent. Nylon is dries faster than cotton or wool and retains body heat better than either of those. Nylon retains body heat when wet. The list continues... Basically nylon was superior to every other fabric for the purposes for which it was needed. Even today most tactical gear for civilian or military use contains nylon.
@@JB-1138 probably because alpha industries is sh .t and even this stupid TH-cam deleting it...You can't call yourself a spitfire jacket if you aren't fireproof..mor..ns
@@JasZg I never owned a jacket by Alpha. I had a made in America official military issue flight jacket. It was good. What good is a fireproof jacket going to do if you're not wearing fireproof pants?
What is that book you're referencing throughout the video?
Where can I buy one?
Next do the CWU-45/P & CWU-36/P then after that the MCPS GORETEX with NOMEX fleece liner jacket seperate!!!
What is the name of the Japanese publication shown in the video? I never got around to buying an MA-1. I wound up getting a CWU-45.

I made a big reply to your comment suggesting a jacket you might like but every time I leave the link it gets deleted.
