With the transition to the jet age, there was a need for lighter, more agile, and more compact jackets, as the previous B-series models, especially the B-15, were increasingly impractical for tighter cockpits and new equipment. In 1959, the MA-1 was developed – with a knitted collar, clean silhouette, and materials that met the demands of modern jets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the cockpits, the MA-1 made its way into the cities. Soldiers continued to wear the jacket in everyday life after their service, subcultures adopted it in the 1960s and 1970s, followed later by musicians, artists, and creatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe VF 59 takes up this heritage and interprets it in a contemporary way. The abbreviation VF stands for the slimmer, body-hugging fit, the number 59 refers to the year of the original MA-1. Thus, the jacket retains the characteristic bomber shape, but appears clearer and more modern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe iconic orange lining provides a striking contrast and harks back to a safety feature from military history: pilots could reverse the jacket in an emergency to be more visible to rescue teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt our request, Alpha Industries has produced a \"Minimalist Edition\" for us. The usual external details such as flags on the sleeve pocket, the \"Remove Before Flight\" tag, or leather pullers on the zipper were deliberately omitted. This creates a clean, reduced version of the MA-1, focusing on cut, material, and heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gmail_default\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMinimalist Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFlight Nylon \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOuter material: 100% Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLining: 100% Nylon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFilling: 100% Polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Black \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAntique silver zippers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e2 front pockets \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 inner pocket \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1 utility pocket on sleeve \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSlim Fit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSize reference: Size XL for 194cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alpha Industries","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":58582921216381,"sku":"247474","price":189.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":58582921249149,"sku":"247481","price":189.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":58582921281917,"sku":"247498","price":189.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":58582921314685,"sku":"247504","price":189.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1822\/1117\/files\/alpha-industries-191118-ma-1-vf-vintage-fit-59-black_DSC4392.jpg?v=1787836415","url":"https:\/\/www.burgundschild.com\/en\/products\/ma-1-vf-59-vintage-fit-bomber-schwarz","provider":"Burg \u0026 Schild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
