MA-1 jacket "Léon: The Professional"
MA-1 is an item that many people have included in their autumn/winter winter clothing at least once. The standard look is to wear MA-1 directly over a white T-shirt and wear jeans, chinos, or camouflage cargo pants underneath. Let's unravel its history once again.
The MA-1 was originally a Flight jacket developed by the US military in the 1950s. Originally, Flight jackets were often made of leather, but as times progressed and propeller planes changed to jet planes, there was a shift to highly water-repellent nylon materials. The main reason for this is that when flying at high altitudes, even if moisture adhered to it, it did not freeze. The result was the MA-1, which is said to be the most highly functional masterpiece among Flight jackets. The fact that it is light and warms the air when you put it on is a characteristic of military gear that was designed to be practical.
There is a theory that the person who ignited the MA-1's popularity was Tom Cruise from `` Top Gun '' (1986). In the movie, Cruise wears a leather MA-1 with patches all over it. As a result, Flight jackets quickly became town wear, and the aforementioned nylon jackets, the cheapest of the MA-1 jackets, flooded the streets.
MA-1, which is warm as if wrapped in air and above all light, is also a popular item among women. Matilda, whom Natalie Portman poured her soul into in `` Léon: The Professional '' (1994), has bob hair, a choker around her neck, and oversized MA-1's as her constant clothes. Combining this with miniskirts, shorts, and short boots is the ``Matilda style'' loved by girls who live on the streets.
It is said that MA-1 became a full-fledged boom around 2015. This is because the sports and military style was perfect for town wear, but as a trend, the original nylon fabric has faded, and the MA-1, a simple and stylish variant with thinner fabric, has become mainstream. Popular items also change with the times.
