The history of the CWU Flight Jacket:
CWU is a military acronym and stands for 'Cold Weather Uniform'. Military functionality is where the jacket's heritage lies. It was the 1970s when the iconic MA-1 flight jacket retired after it's many years of dedicated service, protecting pilots from the elements. It's replacement, the aforementioned CWU Flight jacket was a jacket designed to replicate many of the features of the MA-1, but with some added specifications thrown in too. Easily identifiable from it's MA-1 counterpart by its stylish mod fold down collar, the Alpha Industries CWU is every bit of a masterpiece as it's predecessor, which is why it is equally at home on the fashion circuit. It's classic retro military silhouette, vintage style and mod revival look lending itself perfectly to casual attire.
