New G Gundam 30th Anniversary military flight jacket goes on sale
The 30th anniversary celebrations for the Mobile Fighter G Gundam anime continue with a new military style flight jacket from ALPHA INDUSTRIES and Gundam apparel brand STRICT-G.
This continues on from the previous 30th anniversary collaboration which saw STRICT-G release a a traditional Japanese hanten jacket in collaboration with Miyata Orimono.
ALPHA INDUSTRIES is a military clothing manufacturer founded in 1959 that has become a leading clothing supplier to the U.S. military.
Its signature flight jacket, the MA-1, is considered to be a design classic. ALPHA INDUSTRIES have been producing these jackets for over 60 years and they received an official US military contract to produce them back in 1963.
The MA-1, which is the base of this product, incorporates details unique to ALPHA INDUSTRIES flight jackets, such as a placket inside the zipper for increased warmth and a pocket on the sleeve.
The material has a refined texture with a moderate shine and whilst it retains all the expected parts of a flight jacket, it is easy to match with a variety of outfits as the silhouette is clean and fashionable.
This new jacket is based on a previously released Domon Kasshu “Mobile Fighter G Gundam” flight jacket released in 2022.
As a 30th anniversary product, the new jacket features a number of changes to the earlier version, including high-quality sheep leather to provide a softer texture.
Various patches on the jacket have also been changed to a monotone design to match the color of the jacket.
The dog tag with the 30th anniversary logo of “Mobile Fighter G Gundam” and the ALPHA INDUSTRIES brand name attached with the ribbon is a new addition.
All customers who purchase the new jacket will receive an acrylic stand featuring an original illustration of Domon wearing the G Gundam MA-1.
The 30th anniversary G Gundam MA-1 jacket can be purchased online via the Premium Bandai Japan web store.
