Mame embroidery ma-1 is pretty good, although materials closer to repro rather than rick

Looking for a nice season - versatile black ma-1. I like the military issue detailing and puffier but still slim fit of the Buzz x WG slender one but I'm worried it's too insulated for most non-winter situations. Also considered the wtaps one. Any suggestions or input?

What's this?

[Fycus]

soloist. I think it has too much going on but it might be nice in a darker colorway. 

[Panzer]

Yeh I think without the metal studs, or instead with grey ones it might look better

that's not an ma-1, or even resembles a bomber

Do all the visvim ma-1's have the flag on the lower back?

My Visvim C. Pollard MA-1 is just plain black.

Got the new visvim thorson jacket today, definitely has a repro fit but I enjoy it. The dyeing process is "dorozome" or mud dye. Jacket is object dyed in vegetable source like bark then soaked in mud that acts as a mordant to bond the dye to the jacket. Normally synthetics like nylons are super hard to dye so the jacket only takes on part of the color. The dorozome process also reacts with the nylon to matte the fabric a ton, giving it a look similar to vintage jackets. Riri zips, cow leather pulls, premium wool ribbing and fine polyester lining. Way over the top but as expected from visvim. Color depending on light source varies greatly which is awesome.

Doesn't look paded enough, don't like soft MA-1s.

 

Shade is ace though.

181,400 or something? I got a 3, its hugely oversize in the arms and super cropped body.

It's spring weight, still padded/baffled (the arms are freaking huge), just not so much to prevent wear in warmer climates. i prefer this as im limited to what i can layer in california weather.

that doesn't look super cropped to me, if anything it looks a little long for a ma-1 (personal opinion). sleeves look too long as well, but the way you've sized is definitely what's popular right now and i'd wager 90+% of people would say it's spot on. i'd still like to see you in a sz 2. nh.

 

edit: zipped up ma1s look terrible on pretty much everyone unless they're wearing super high rise repro jeans, so i don't really consider that when sizing them.

I think you're missing the point, I am serious when I say I cannot size down further. It doesn't even cover my belt zipped, it's not a slim fit jacket and is a repo. This is the intended fit, if I wanted something different I would've bought a different brand.

[conqueror]

it's not even about 'slim fit' (i only own repros too), just traditional proportions. you enjoy it so that's the main thing.

Put some respek on my ma-1, are yall done or yall finished?

Here's a dude significantly shorter who sized down to good result. If I was 5'10 I'd probably be able to swing a 2
