This 2nd iteration of the MA-1 has been recreated by The Real McCoy's in Japan to their usual exacting standards. The nylon used for this MA-1 is a custom-produced fabric that faithfully reproduces the look and feel of the highly durable nylon developed in the 1950s. Originally invented by DuPont, Nylon 66 became the material of choice for military flight jackets due to its exceptional durability and improved flame resistance, setting the standard for early MA-1 production.

This version of the MA-1 from McCoy's features wool ribbing on the cuffs, waistband & collar, a period-correct detail later replaced with acrylic on subsequent versions, along with cotton wool pile interlining for insulation. Brass dot buttons are black oxide–treated to meet mil-spec, matching the authentic 1950s Talon sleeve zippers and wire front zipper, finished with a black leather pull tab. Practical details include diagonal slash pockets w/snap closure and a pen pocket on the upper left arm, staying true to the original military specification.
