BUZZ RICKSONS Type L-2A “SUPERIOR TOGS CORP.”

Description

Here is what Buzz Ricksons has to say about their jacket

“In the early 1950s during the Korean War, the Type L-2A (Spec. MIL-J-5391A) was introduced as the improved model of the Type L-2 (Spec.MIL-J-5391). The jacket is characterized by Air Force blue, the symbolic color of the U.S. Air Force (USAF) which became independent from the U.S. Army Air Forces (USAAF). In developing this jacket, the Aero Medical Laboratory made and tested many samples in 1950, some of whose outer fabric were made not from nylon but from wool gabardine. Nevertheless, nylon, the same as the Type L-2 jacket, was officially adopted for the jacket.”
