CWU-45

A Bomber, Reframed

Introduced in 1972 as the Cold Weather Uniform, the CWU-45 represents a refined reinterpretation of the MA-1 flight jacket. Its structured nylon fold-down collar, higher-set flap pockets and the Alpha Velcro patch create a clean, architectural silhouette with distinct presence.

Recognized globally since the 1980s and paving the way for styles such as the CWU-45/P Leather and the CWU-36/P TT, it remains a bomber redefined through proportion and attitude.
