First issued to US Air Force pilots in the early 1950s, the Type L-2B flight jacket was originally designed as a lightweight alternative to the bulky MA-1. By stripping away non-essential pockets and heavy insulation, the L-2B was much sleeker than its predecessors, offering pilots enhanced comfort and manoeuvrability while in the cockpit. However, like many military surplus designs, this now iconic jacket was quickly embraced by the American youth subcultures of the 1960s, permeating pop culture where it remains a staple of rebel fashion to this day.  Our take on the L2-B combines traditional materials and design features with Iron Heart’s usual over-engineered construction. The outer shell is crafted from silky smooth, scratch-resistant 4.4oz nylon, with comfort and warmth provided by a lightly padded diamond quilt liner. Finished with tubular knitted, elasticated collar, cuffs and hem, a heavy-duty 2-way zipper and an interior ‘gun’ pocket - the resulting jacket pays authentic homage to a military classic, timeless in style and practical in usage.
