The form of the neck and the knitted cuffs are a vague reference to the MA1 bomber, the American jacket of the military pilots. However, what comes out is a hybrid, much more urban, and certainly more rigorous garment. Two invisible pockets on the side, a third one completely welded inside, a total weight suitable for the middle of winter.
