    MA-1 Flight jacket

    I hope so but it seems like such a small % of the overall picture with no real impact, and of course it doesn't do anything to create a mid-market which used to exist.

    That's an uncommon thing to do I suspect, but it makes sense!

    MA-1 Flight jacket

    Agreed. And I prefer the grey knits on the old jackets, which provide some contrast with the green. Looks like the new ones are an olive green, not sage green, although I grant that it's a fine line.
