MA-1 Jackets

[WillKhitie]

Stamp'd LA strapped bomber (helmut lang ripoff?)

 

 

 

So many mixed emotions about this: a. feel bad wanting it bec. it's a copy, b. feel bad that they just nearly straight copied, c. moral issues about paying 300 usd for a rip-off, d. realizations that it's probably the closest I'll get to a bondage bomber.

Blatant plagiarism, I'm guessing it's made in china? Just wait for a real Helmut to pop up if you really want, that's not worth $300

This dude always has the best shit for sale, I don't know how his other Miyake jacket hasn't sold yet, it's a beast

I wouldn't pay $300 but I do like it. If one was floating for half price that would be dope.

One of my top picks: The Stone Island Shadow Project MA-1.

Anrealage distressed MA-1

So hard to find a good quality, simple black or midnight navy ma-1 with a slightly longer and slimmer not puffy fit (even though I know a lot of you guys like the more authentic rounder fit).  Something warm enough for fall/early winter.  Not too too shiny.  Any suggestions?  Preferably around $300 or less.

Own this one. Really nice for the sub $200 price point.

Been googling ma-1's way too much.  Looking for slim fit in the sleeves and body but could use a bit more length and no logos.  Must be good quality in navy or black.

Our Legacy. Love it! Not too tight around the waist + really warm. The fabric has a beautiful texture, lighter/darker depending on how you run your hand against it.

Came across this, price isn't terrible, excuse the model tho.

Looks like a geller tencel.

do the alpha industries ma-1 blood chit jackets fit the same as their regular ma-1's? also, i've been getting mixed opinions on how to size on them. i'm 5'6" 150 lbs. and usually wear a medium but was thinking of sizing down. what do you guys think?

[skeetinmynose]

they're slimmer and longer in the body, but not fitted.

[Froosh]

How is the Alpha MA-1 TT?  Looks slim in some pics but in others still quite puffy especially in the arms.  Also looks incredibly short.

Macky if youre getting the "reissued" fit I would not recommend sizing down,

i went TTS and it feels a little short on the bottom and is constricting if worn over a sweatshirt

Explain to me how that's an MA-1. Because other than the fact that it's a jacket with a zip at the front and ribbed cuffs on the sleeves, that's got nothing in common with an MA-1. At all.

It's a bomber jacket, this is the most appropriate thread for it, and a similar thread for non-MA-1 bomber jackets seems kind of superfluous, and would have very low traffic. So if it bothers you, sorry, but other people thought it was cool

[david10d]

did you really feel the need to express your displeasure at the fact that it's not a ma-1? half of this thread doesn't even follow guidelines of what is considered a traditional ma-1. it's a dope bomber jacket. close enough.

if i were to get it, it would probably be from their website: http://www.alphaindustries.com/mens-flight-jackets/alpha-industries-ma-1-flight-jacket.htm ... so definitely TTS?

This MA-1 is badder than anything I or anyone else has or will ever post in this thread:

Awesome, and so is the reddit thread.

I was always wondering what kind of jacket (except for the pressure suit) were Blackbird pilots issued, now I know.
