Type 45 Flight Jacket

Story

First issued to Air Force pilots in 1972, the Type 45 Flight Jacket modifies the classic CWU-45P for modern, everyday wearers. Instead of the original nylon shell, this edition is cut from dry-hand cotton Bedford cloth — chosen for its distinctive vertical grain and durable structure. A touch of stretch adds comfort without compromising the fabric’s character, while classic aviation details can be found throughout.
