Short green nylon jacket featuring two front slash pockets with snap closures and two internal slash pockets. It has a green wool ribbed collar, cuffs, and hem, showing some wear with holes. The left sleeve includes a zipped pen pocket with a leather puller. The jacket fastens with a 1952 metal Crown zip, alongside a zig-zag stitch internal placket on the right side. Faded remnants of the US Air Force wings and star insignia are visible on the left shoulder sleeve.
The jacket includes back shoulder darts and two front snap-closure tabs under the arms, designed to secure headset and microphone wiring leads and a heavy parachute harness. A nylon tab sewn onto the left chest allows the attachment of an oxygen mask retainer clip. These design features were later omitted in the MA-1 flight jacket model.
无标题的Cream silk brocade satin waistcoat with a shawl or roll collar, woven in cream and pale brown threads with a design of squiggles and a scattered floral and leaf motif in blue and white. The silk shows signs of wear and thinning where it has creased or been rubbed, particularly around the collar, bottom hem, and buttonholes.
The waistcoat is single-breasted, fastening at the centre front with seven small self-covered buttons and hand-worked buttonholes. It includes two horizontal welted pockets, lined with brown cotton silesia, and trimmed along the collar, fronts, and pocket welts with a fine round braid. The back panel is crafted from brown cotton silesia, featuring an adjustable waist with two wide tabs threaded with white linen tape through three pairs of metal eyelets. The bottom edge of the back panels curves gently into the centre back seam.
The forepart is lined with cream cotton in a blue check pattern, with a tan leather strip at the hem, likely added to protect against friction from trouser brace buttons. A linen interlining is present, and the back lining is in plain white cotton. The waistcoat is entirely hand-sewn.
无标题的Dark blue cotton work coat featuring a turn-down collar and three large patch pockets on the front—two at the hips and one on the left chest. Each pocket has cut, angled corners at the bottom. A large white Tyvek label is sewn along the top edge on the right chest, printed in black and red with "A-COLD-WALL*".
Over the lower half of the coat has been hand sprayed with pale blue paint at the front and back and hand applied white paint splatters. The back yoke has been printed in large white lettering 'A-COLD-WALL*' and the lower back has been printed with a large blue triangle outline with 'ACADEMIA / CORRECTION / WORK SHOP' in vertical. On each sleeve cuff is printed 'A C W*'.
