[Cheweh]

great thread but kinda bummed this may be the new varsity.

come to manila and you'll realize that a bomber/ma-1 is leagues away from being "the new varsity".

but really it gets pretty bad here x_x

April 77 Storm Bomber. Get hyped

i'd say that's an excellent starting point.

[photostroika]

Are there any good poverty MA-1's (under 100) that are worth buying?

i'm not an ma-1 authority, but i'm pretty sure those don't really count. also, what's up with all the slim ma-1s? am i the only one that thinks they almost always look a lot better when loose?

[Desi]

Agreed but loose always give me a middle school/high school flashback. Having size 12 boys wearing XXL men's

Diesel mainline have this one this season :

not to bad if you ask me, for the brand and the price.

Perfectly reflects Diesel's "spirit".

what about uniqlo short blouson? http://www.uniqlo.com/us/store/lifewear/men-short-blouson/076004-09-005

going to check local qlos when i'm not so freaking swamped with schoolwork (somehow doubt it'll be here tho) but has anyone tried it on or have anything to say about how it fits? i imagine it'll be so-so

It's already been mentioned I think, but I tried it on the other day and it's pretty worthless. Completely unpadded and had no shape, feels like a cheap windbreaker overall.

re: (over)sizing

just dont spend hundreds for an oversized one if you think you will regret not getting the right size a few years after.

[baphomet]

seconding what anno said about the uniqlo blouson, it's thin and shapeless.

Exactly my experience as well. I wanted so badly for it to be nice...

[bacon]

liked this one

[bill]

Those looked good but won't fit you unless you are very small. A mens version would've been great, as they are perfect for summer.

(and I hate those zippers)

[shoreman1782]

If I'm reading the translation right, this rebuild by needles ma-1 is just a vintage ma-1 with the insulation removed and new ribbing added. Anyone who can do Japanese-English mind clarifying?

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^my translate kicks out practically the same thing. great imho. makes sense for an s/s ma-1 (if you wanted that) plus it looks really good. i wonder how it'll fit without all that insulation tho... x_x those zip back bdu pants are real nice looking too

no needles/needles rebuild stockists locally ;_;

[bill]

You can always contact Nepenthes NY or get darkanimal to proxy you stuff from there.

[Fycus]

iirc even though the post said nepenthes jp is the only stockist, nyc will probably get it in some sizes at some point as they have for all rebuild stuff.

[acidline]

Can anyone ID this for me?

[Fuuma]

Can anyone ID this for me?

It's called a cunt. The MA-1 is relatively nice, no idea about the brand.

[acidline]

Definitely agree about the dude, but the jacket I like.

[kH0yA Sw@Gp0o]

^gold hardware ruins it imo x_x

[aymerikmd]

Undercover destroyed ma-1, just got this, maybe more a bomber then a ma-1?

[darly900]

^Was that the one on Y! Auctions?

If so can you post fitpics when it arrives?
