4578 - Kyoto Kurozome Dyed MA-1 Jacket - Black

The entire "Kurozome" series was a yes for us. Any garment this black and dyed with a natural process is a yes for us. It is nearly impossible to go this dark with anything but synthetics, but Kyoto Montsuki has found a way to do it with Binroji or Betel nuts. The only way they can accomplish this is by applying layer upon layer of a base dye before the final step which turns it into the deepest hue possible. This is our first time seeing the MA-1 bomber silhouette, and it sunk it's teeth into us from the jump. It's fully lined for warmth while being soft and unwaxed on the exterior for breathability. This baby pays full homage to the original with the under-chest snap detail and the patch at the placket. We've just never seen one with this many reproduction details in all black. That's why it was an instant yes on our end.

Fit Notes: Most of our Japanese brands are considered to have a smaller fit than American brands. Shop owner Tommy is wearing a 42 (large) in the pictures. This had plenty of room in the body and sleeves without being too bunchy and long. It was a fantastic fit, the one we think all bombers should model themselves from. It was cozy and tailored at the same time. Tommy is 5'10," 165lbs with a 40" chest.
