Commissioned in 1942 for the US Army Air Corps, Eddie's Flight Jacket was designed to keep the wearer warm at up to negative 70 degrees Fahrenheit and, in case of a crash over water, keep the wearer afloat for up to 24 hours. Based on a model he was already making for Alaskan bush pilots, it features Eddie's signature diamond quilting and is updated with a weather-resistant nylon/cotton shell and Responsible Down Standard (RDS) premium insulation.
