The Real McCoy Type D-1 Leather Jacket
The U.S Army D-1 mechanic jacket was issued during the same period as the B-6 flight jacket. The D-1 jacket was designed for grounds crew who often were working in heavy weather conditions. The relatively simple design was soon adopted by pilots too who would wear it over their A-2 flight jackets for layering warmth whilst still retaining ease of movement.

About The Real McCoy
The Real McCoy’s is a brand like no other. The Real McCoy’s is mostly based about vintage American influences. American fashion of the 1940’s and 1950’s is a source of their inspiration. To make extraordinary clothing with vintage details and twists requires the sensitive minds and outstanding work of craftsmen in Japan. They are highly skilled at manufacturing materials using the same methods and machinery from the past. Whilst they try to create the very best reproduction, they also seek to make it even better than the oiginal.
