ALPHA INDUSTRIES MA-1 D-Tec Blood Chit Jacket

A winter, quilted version of the Alpha Industries MA-1 Blood Chit retro mod Bomber Jacket; a MA-1 with a history. In vintage green, this updated winter version included a (detachable) grey jersey hood and zip inlay, double zip closure and quilted lining. This MA-1 features the 'Blood Chit' badges and flags to the front and Blood Chit is a is a bonafide military term. Blood chit is a notice carried by military personnel and is addressed to any civilians (usually written in multiple languages) who may come across an armed-services member who is in difficulty, for example a stranded pilot.  The note conveys a message that requests assistance be rendered to the service member in distress (sometimes with the promise of reward). During WWII many US flight crews took to sewing their blood chit's into the back of their jackets. This was partly for safe keeping and partly to ensure the notice was clearly on view in times of difficulty. This winter version of the classic mod MA-1 jacket is perfect for colder weather and stylish with tonal dyed Blood Chit patches.
