Royal Air Force MK3 Cold Weather Flying Jacket, 1980s production.
A rare example from the 1980s has arrived.
Compared to specimens from the 1990s and 2000s, the detailing remains largely unchanged, though the colour palette shifts toward a deeper green—a characteristic of this era.
The RAF MK3 requires little introduction. It stands among the service's defining achievements.
Issued to aircrew and helicopter personnel over approximately five decades—from 1960 through to around 2010—this flight jacket represents an extended period of operational refinement.
Constructed from densely woven cotton fabric, it possesses windproofing and water resistance comparable to Ventile, the technical standard of its era.
A chin strap secures the collar, permitting alternative wear configurations and a distinct aesthetic sensibility.
The collar houses a zip mechanism that conceals a removable hood.
This piece carries the functional grammar of military design while maintaining an understated modishness. It transcends categorical boundaries and adapts to varied contexts of use.
The condition is clean and considered for its age—absent notable soiling or damage.
The sizing accommodates typical Japanese proportions generously, making it accessible across a range of builds.
Specimens from the 1980s remain difficult to locate. If you have been searching for such a piece, this represents a considered opportunity.
