Alpha Industries MA-1 NASA Bomber Jacket - Men's Military Flight Jacket with NASA Patch | Stylish Aviator Outerwear for Casual Wear & Street Fashion

My son loved the jacket. Some reviewers said it ran a little small so I ordered up a size. It was perfect. It looks authentic.So I've always wanted this jacket both as a souvenir & for fashion of course, Recently Logic released an Album which most definitely rekindled my interest in sporting this jacket as Logic has a bunch of these that he swags in almost always & I'm proper into astronomy & science so it was only right to get it as it portrays me perfectly.Initially I loitered on Alpha Industries website considering to buy it or not but they didn't have my size, so alternatively I went to the most trustworthy & reliable source I have previously dealt with, Amazon. they also didn't have my size but I figured that an XL would have to do the trick as it's most likely to be one of those type of jackets you need to get a size up for. I was right the XL fits me perfectly so make sure to get a size up when you order this. I was expecting it to arrive in a week or so but it arrived in 3 days!!!! so sick. The quality is impeccable and as expected, the comfort is unreal, it's nice and warm & the patches are top notch, I'm British so I'll be adding the union jack patch in due time ;), but yeah if you love space & science or your just a fashionable, urban or expressive person, THIS IS A MUST BUY!!! - @KennethMoneymanThis jacket is awesome! I absolutely love it. Very warm.The cuffs go inside the sleeves I wish they'd rest on wrist but it's a small thingI got this jacket at Kennedy Space Center and immediately got on Amazon when I got home to see if I got robbed. It is a bit cheaper here on Amazon, so keep that in mind. I am very happy with this jacket. For the price and for what it is, it's much heavier than expected. This jacket will be perfect for the "warmer" Chicago winter days. My guy is 6'3" and a good 250 pounds, and the 3x fit perfectly. He usually wears a 2x. He has trouble with sleeves not being long enough, and the 3x provides enough length. Judging by other reviewers, it looks to me as if the smaller sizes run large, and the larger sizes run small. He loves the details on the jacket, like the patches and the "Remove Before Flight" tag. This jacket looks official as opposed to looking like a souvenir, and that's what he likes most about it. He further dressed it up a bit by adding a couple of shiny NASA pins to the fabric lapels and a "Failure is Not an Option" zipper pull, also purchased at Kennedy. All and all, this was a happy purchase and will be enjoyed immensely.The workmanship quality and patches are top notch! I really wanted to like this, BUT the size runs BIG! Too bad I couldn't exchange this for a smaller size because it was not available during the Christmas sale when I got it for $90. Another disappointing thing about this (not because it runs large) is its puffy shape by design which makes the body look unflattering and overweight, no offense. So, if you've got a slim physique and want to create an illusion that you're bigger than you really are then this jacket's for you, but if you want something that fits right (and not look sloppy like you're being swallowed by your jacket) then look somewhere else. Do you still wanna buy, but not sure about the size inaccuracy (S, M, L, XL)? Then look at their size chart instead, i.e., chest and waist measurements.todo ok and superAlpha Industries makes highest-quality jackets. Very stylish, and great for various types of weather: mild to bitter winter. I own a half dozen of theirs and, in general, they tend to run slightly small. I wear XL, but find that, in this maker, I can easily use XXL. The XL is OK, and fits well (be careful not to get their 'slim' line) but are a tad tight around the waist. Fine through chest and shoulders. The XXL is not that much bigger, but there is just a little extra (maybe an inch) around the waist. Because of the general flight jacket style of their jackets, they look fine even when slightly larger than one might ordinarily wear.Good value on sale.I've been thinking of getting an Alpha Industries jacket for a while but the relatively high cost compared to other bomber style jackets always made me think twice. Decided to finally take the plunge with this one given it was priced a little cheaper than its equivalents and I was pleasantly surprised with not only the quality of material, but the overall weight and fit of the product as well.Original and the cheapest in the marketI've been eyeing this jacket for months, so I can't necessarily say it was an impulse buy lol, although it was expensive I do not regret this purchase. It's a stylish jacket that's quite warm, great for fall but I do not recommend it for the winter, which should be obvious. I personally even try to avoid wearing it whenever it rains but the times that rain did fall, the jacket held up well with no water marks. The price does reflect the quality. For what you pay for you're getting top quality material. Some chain stores sell a knockoff of this jacket and I've tried them on and the quality is lacking and the material is very thin making them prone to easily ripping. The orange inside is decent, but I personally would have preferred a blue or black inside, however I do know that orange is the Alpha industries style.Authentic and super high quality. Please for the love of god do not buy the replica of this unless you want a NASA patch that looks like someone cut it up with a pair of school scissors and put the stars on with glue gun. Debated between the medium and large but the medium well. I am about 5'8" and 170 lbs with wide shoulders.Item came slightly dirty on the zipper wich is odd, overall very good jacket but i swear if you are 5'10 like me dont order a size up. a large was too big for me. I already own a maroon ma-1 medium wich fits like a glove and I wanted to try a size larger wich obviously didn't look right.Very nice construct and as always a top quality item from alpha industries.
