Nylon is "in" this year, it seems!

Lots of L-2 style jackets and repro's to be seen in shop windows and on the streets of Tokyo. It seems nylon flight jackets are the fashion for autumn/winter 2014 in Japan.

Ah well, bascially MA-1/L2 type of jackets are everywhere since last year already. Lots of fashion brands are making them in the slimmer versions. There is no doubt that nylon flight jackets are coming back and the kind of skinheads related image seems to be long gone as well.

Naturally. Nothing beats the style and comfort of a decent nylon flight jacket.

Surprised that Japan is a year behind...it usually leads the way.

And I've noticed that the high street fashion in the UK is for dreadful, cheap looking leather biker jackets.

It's not that difficult to find a half-decent biker jacket, new or used, so you do wonder why people buy such obviously poor quality ones.
