Pensacola Sea Plane Jacket from Mister Freedom

[Ishmael]

Mister Freedom posted some new pics of a very nice looking new item, the "Pensacola" Sea Plane Jacket. Pretty cool.

Very nice. Is that Denim?

 

[Ishmael]

No mention of the material. But I don't think it's denim. Lining looks like corduroy?

 

[majormajor]

Look forward to seeing more on that one. Another A1 variant to add to the wish-list!

 

[Ishmael]

Exactly. Think this may be the first naval style A-1 I've seen.

This jacket was specially designed to commemorate Buzz Rickson's 20th anniversary, BR being a branch of Toyo Enterprises, the owner of Sugar Cane and co-producer of MF x SC.

It almost looks like it could be some kind of hide - split steer or something. Or maybe some kind of Drill I guess. But a great look either way.

If you get any more info, please let us have it here

I was assuming it was drill of some sort, but the white on the under edge of the pockets is suspicious.

Neat jacket...thanks for sharing...

Love it! Looks like drill with a cord lining to my eyes.

Looks like heavy waxed cotton-canvas (similar to Filson's shelter cloth fabric jackets). The early 1930's Navy 37-J-1A jackets were of similar construction (though it was a light olive drab/khaki color).
Pretty cool jacket!

I hate seeing these as I know I'll never see one in my size! That is a cool jacket. I'm digging the colors and styles from these guys!

For anyone who hasn't been here, it's a great place to see some of Japan's offerings:

Thank you Gentlemen ;-) The body fabric is navy blue Jungle Cloth (same as MFSC deck jacket from a few years back). The photo makes it look waxed, which would be a cool perso option. Lining is same specs than early USN peacoats hand warmer pocket bags. Ring buttons (an old mil surplus stock, white composite with engraved anchor). Will have full specs on the clumsy website closer to issue date, sometime in Sept 2013. Cheers.
