The MA-1 appeared in the mid-20th century, and after its role as military wear ended in the 1980s, a large number of replicas spread to the private sector and became an established fashion item. Many brands still make this jacket based on its mature and rugged design.
Among the many such MA-1s, the one that became the talk of the town was probably the model introduced by Raf Simons for the 2001 fall/winter season. It was based on the theme "Riot! Riot! Riot!" and came in white-based camouflage "Urban Camo" and green-based camouflage "Woodland Camo." The former attracted attention when Kanye West wore it, and it fetched a whopping $5 million or more on the second market in 2018.
This article focuses on the two-color camouflage body used in the Raf Simons collection. FOSTEX GARMENTS, which reinterprets American military wear from a European perspective, is a well-known brand supported by designers active on the front lines of fashion.
The MA-1 released this time is a reissue of a model that was made for a short period at the end of the 1990s.

The "Urban Camo" type in white, green, black, and brown was a color combination that was produced for only a few seasons, and its distribution was extremely small. The other "Woodland Camo" type was produced in the 2000s, but the ribbing changed from green to black and the pocket shape changed to round. This time, the same type used in the Raf Simons collection is being reissued for the first time.

In order to faithfully reproduce the MA-1 of the time, the flaps of the front pockets are squarely shaped, and the entire body has been given a vintage finish.
There are 100 pieces of each color available. Fifty pieces have already been reserved and sold out, with 50 pieces remaining. Many of you may have been waiting for this chance.
