Vintage 80s CWU-36 P Flyers Cold Weather MA-2 Bomber Jacket.
The MA-2 bomber jacket (also known as the CWU-45 flight jacket) is an advanced version derived of the original MA-1 bomber jacket that was originally designed for the American military during the 1950s. CWU stands for Cold Weather Uniform.
The CWU-36/P MA-2 is ideal for those seeking durable construction and authenticity, with a fire resistant Aramid Polyamide outer shell. This surplus US Air Force jacket features an Ideal brass zip front, and fully lined. The term MA-2 was a trademark of the Cobles Clothing Company, adopted in the late 1980s when the CWU-45 military jacket started to gain popularity in street fashion. The term MA-2 has become so popular it is now used interchangeably with CWU-45 to represent this type of jacket. The CWU-36 referred to a lightweight version of the same jacket.
