## Description

A mid-weight flight nylon with water resistance and scads of versatility, the MA-1 Navy fighter pilot jacket was the first military flight jacket to cross over into civilian fashion. Our nylon flight jacket includes knit cuffs, a knit collar and waistband, as well as a strong front zipper with storm flap for warmth. There are multiple snap-closure pockets as well as the utility/pencil pocket with the Remove Before Flight keychain. Our MA-1 jackets are reversible to bright orange, making them ideal for rescue missions and other times when visibility is imperative. This current version has been kept as close as possible to the classic specifications (dating back to the early 1950's) and also received several revisions during the 1960's. Alpha Industries was founded on the belief that the U.S. armed forces deserved protective clothing that was of superior quality and delivered outstanding defense against extreme climate conditions. From our start in October 1959, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded Alpha contracts to produce jackets for American service members, including iconic styles such as the N-3B parka and the MA-1 flight jacket. Alpha grew rapidly during the 1960s, as the Vietnam War led to a substantial increase in DOD production contracts. Lessons learned from intense battlefield experience also led to new technological advances in fabric and the manufacturing process. Alpha soon began producing infantry jackets, including the iconic M-65 Field Coat made legendary during the Vietnam War. Today, Alpha Industries is known around the world for its high-quality, military-inspired outerwear. We continue to produce the classic military silhouettes that are core to our heritage, as well as modern innovations in style and function. Our top sellers include the MA-1 flight jacket, the M-65 field coat, the Slim-Fit N-3B parka and the G-1 leather bomber. But no matter the jacket, coat, or bomber, one thing will always hold true, the Alpha three-bar label will always represent the superior quality that we base our very reputation on. Alpha's ma-1 flight jacket with "blood chit" sewn on the inside lining was a type of flag that contained a message in several languages identifying an airman as a u. Aviator if they were shot down, to aid the airman in avoiding capture and in being returned safely to u. Forces. A reward was offered for this assistance.

Review: The real deal. - I used to have an MA-1 Jacket back in the 80's in the UK. This is the real deal, good quality jacket. This is not no cheaply made, thin, shiny material knock off you see around high street stores for $30. Sometimes the phrase, "you get what you pay for" is actually true. I opted to pay more to get a better quality made jacket and it is definitely worth the money. The stitching all over the jacket is a good quality and strong. I have pulled on some of the fabric by the stitching and it does not separate like some cheaply machine stitched jackets you see. The zippers are of a real solid metal construction. Double zipper on the front for when you reverse the jacket. The zipper teeth are also very solidly made, nice thick teeth. Even the buttons on the outside and inside pockets look decent quality metal, not plastic like you see on some. The material looks slightly dulled, so it does not look shiny and cheap. As for measurements. Me personally i typically wear a medium in jackets, t-shirts, sweaters etc. My actual measurement with a tape measure is 38 chest. I ordered a small because the sizing chart said it goes up to a 39.5 and it fit perfectly. I think it depends how you like to wear your jackets. For me the MA-1 jacket is not supposed to be worn like a baggy jacket. Most people would only be wanting to wear a t-shirt underneath due to it being so warm. So that is personal preference. I probably could have gotten away with the medium, but as i only wear a t-shirt under it, it fits well.
Review: Love it! - I love this jacket. It felt a little too puffy at first but it’s already starting to break in. Very comfortable, looks great, feels very well made, Strong zippers, good stitching, and the blood chit is a cool touch of military heritage. It’s warm without being too hot, and gets lots of compliments. It works with Casual clothes and at the office. I usually wear a 3XL t-shirt but after measuring myself against the Alpha Industries size chart it appeared that a 4X would be the correct size for me. This was spot on and the size is perfect.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Real Deal
*by C***H on October 6, 2020*

My MA-1 arrived today. I am 5’10”, 145 lbs, 38” chest, medium build, everyday runner. I was apprehensive about ordering the small size, but there was no need to worry. It fits perfectly. No, there is not a lot of extra room in the chest and shoulder areas when zipped up, but with a MA-1 there shouldn’t be. The material and workmanship is first class. This thing will last for years. I should have ordered it a long time ago. Don’t settle for imitations. This is the real deal. Oh, and spend the extra ten dollars for the Blood Chit version. Definitely worth it.
