A One-of-a-Kind MA-1 Jacket with Embroidery

A unique MA-1 that blends functionality with refined aesthetics, incorporating MOMOTARO JEANS’ distinctive touch into a classic design and updating it for a contemporary look. Crafted from high-density 66 nylon twill, the fabric is thick yet supple, with a subtle sheen and excellent durability.

On the back, the pheasant from the old tale Momotaro, where the brand's roots lie, and the cycad standing in the former Nozaki residence in Kurashiki Kojima are combined and delicately embroidered with the same coloured navy thread. The detail that emerges quietly adds depth and character to the military silhouette. The lining features a carefully hand-dyed gradient by skilled artisans, giving a sense of elegance every time you put it on or take it off.

DETAILS

Subtle yet striking embroidery on the back, reflecting the brand's roots.

On the back, a delicate embroidery in matching navy thread depicts the pheasant from the Japanese folktale 'Momotaro' alongside a sago palm standing at the historic Nozaki Residence in Kurashiki, Kojima. The direction of the stitching skillfully expresses the layering and dimensionality of the feathers, bringing the entire embroidery to life. Depending on the angle of the light or movement, the embroidery subtly emerges, adding refined depth and character to the MA-1.

Hidden Beauty in the Lining

This MA-1 is crafted with attention to both the exterior and interior. The gradient-dyed lining enhances the beauty and design of the jacket. It is revealed fully when worn or removed, offering a different expression when stationary. These thoughtful details go beyond mere functionality or durability—they allow you to appreciate the craftsmanship and enjoyment of wearing the jacket, elevating the value of the MA-1.

FABRIC

Timeless and Functional “66 Nylon”

Made from high-density nylon twill under military-spec standards, the legendary 66 nylon fabric serves as the foundation of this jacket. It offers a substantial thickness and superior durability while maintaining a refined sheen. The deep navy color evokes “TOKUNO BLUE” and harmonizes beautifully with denim, enhancing the overall coordination.

Reconstructed with Modern Balance

Each part of the MA-1 has been carefully redesigned to update its silhouette while preserving the original details. Adjustments to the shoulders, sleeves, and ribbed hem create a refined impression within the jacket’s rugged aesthetic. By blending classic design with modern touches, this MA-1 fits naturally into everyday style.
