Men's Nylon Flight Jacket

STYLE: 9628

(84)
27" Nylon flight satin MA-1 jacket with tonal Schott embroidery on left arm.

  • Water Resistant Shell
  • Updated Fit from Military MA-1s for Style and Comfort

  • COLOR

      The MA-1 bomber jacket 9628 was first introduced in the 1950's, but you could say that it's history goes back to 1935 when Dupont introduced synthetic thermoplastic polymer fiber that was used to create the first ever NYLON fabric. This revolutionary fabric was originally created for the U.S. Military. THe U.S. Military first used it for parachutes, but soon it was put to use in many ways, including Flight Jackets.

      In the 1930s Military Pilots wore leather jackets, in the late 40's these aviators began wearing insulated jackets made of dense cotton, but by the 1950's U.S.A.F. Pilots were flying missions wearing the first ever issued NYLON Flight Satin MA-1's.

      WARM NEW ENGLAND JACKET

      Published: Wed, 1/7/2026 by Don

      Bought for North East (New England) winters. Have worn in the snow, rain, and 5 degree temps (wind chill down to -7) for extended walks (30-45 mins). Jacket kept me perfectly warm with just a light-medium sweater on. For higher temps of 10-40 I did have to drop layers to just a t-shirt/light sweater. It's a warm jacket, including the pockets, and yet breathable. I was worried about that swooshing sound with nylon and it's barely noticeable. Zippers are stellar too.

      Lightning fast shipping was impressive! I love this flight jacket, it fits me perfectly and keeps me warm..The attention to detail and quality are matchless. I get compliments every day. Followed the size guide and it’s almost like the jacket was tailored just for me. Thank You Schott!!!

      NICE LOOKING, BUT SOME SHODDY CONSTRUCTION

      Published: Mon, 12/1/2025 by Sam

      5'10, 150 lbs. Small was a perfect fit, and the jacket material is quite nice looking and warm. Unfortunately some of the construction is questionable. The inner button clasp was sent to me already broken off, which makes me nervous about the other buttons on the jacket. Shame.

      OFTEN IMITATED AND NEVER RIVALED

      Published: Sun, 11/23/2025 by N Lowe

      This jacket is of such great quality - it’s cut and construction as a garment is very well designed, it fits and moves really comfortably.
      I’m also impressed by the material and the obvious quality.

      Looks good and feels great to wear

      EXCELLENT BUT WILL BURN

      Published: Tue, 9/30/2025 by Richard

      Just be careful with cigar ash I burned a small hole in the nylon which melts very easily - what is the colour code ?

      GREAT JACKET

      Published: Mon, 7/14/2025 by DBI

      I’m 6’2, 210, 32 inch waist and the large fits perfect. I came here to put that out there for anyone trying to figure out their size who might be around my size. So there you go. I like the jacket a lot. Can’t wait to wear it in the fall.

      Very happy with the jacket and the service. The exchange rate was a killer otherwise I'd have ordered the sage as well.

      EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS

      Published: Mon, 2/24/2025 by Maxa

      This jacket is truly fantastic! I have owned jackets from Alpha and Rothco, and I can confidently say this one is far superior. The design is streamlined and not bulky, offering a sleek fit. The inner pocket is also perfectly positioned to hold a wallet or cell phone. It also keeps me warm. Thank you, Schott!
