    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Casual Jacket

    B. · February 18, 2024

    Sizing of these jackets is a little confusing so hopefully this review helps. For reference I am: 170#, 5'11" with a 40" chest and wear a medium in almost all jackets and shirts. The blue jacket pictured is the Alpha Industries Core Fit in Replica Blue size small. Also included in this review for comparison, is a sage green slim fit Alpha Industries MA-1 purchased about 2 years ago in size large. I'm happy with both jackets and love wearing them. They are comfortable for all day wear and I get compliments from random strangers regularly. They look great with jeans, a simple tee and Redwing boots.SIMILARITIES:*Hardware feels sturdy and appears to be identical between the two jackets.*The cut, measurements and fit appear to be the same.*Stitching is good on both but, I almost returned the Replica Blue jacket because the right sleeve is slightly shorter than the left. After wearing it around the house for a couple hours with the tags on, it started to relax.DIFFERENCES:*The nylon used in the Replica Blue jacket feels a bit more stiff than the older Sage Green jacket.*I wore both of them outside this morning on a 40-degree day for about 20 minutes with just a tee shirt. The Replica Blue jacket was perfectly comfortable. The Sage Green jacket was acceptable but a lightweight flannel shirt as a mid-layer would have been welcome.SPECIAL NOTE:For anyone wondering how the Replica Blue differs from the older jackets sold as Navy (?), I included a side by side photo of the Replica Blue laying next to an older MA-1 that is about 10 years old. The darker jacket is Replica Blue. During the day it looks like a true navy but at night it almost looks black. It's a great color.I hope this review helps someone and I highly recommend this jacket.

    My boyfriend really enjoyed his gift so much so he wore it the same night he got it. It fits perfect and functions great to give that good look while being comfortable and warm. He’s had it for 3 years and it still looks like he just got it (yes he wears it regularly)

    I had to return the first jacket of this same style and color as the zxipper was faulty and very difficult to operate. The replacement jacket is completely satisfactory and matches the excellent quality of two other Alpha Industries MA1 Flight Jackets I have ordered and worn extensively in the past.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Now Made in China - Same Price as US Version Used to Be

    S. · October 12, 2024

    I purchased both the Rothco and thie AI versions of the jackets to compare the 2. There is no comparison. The Rothco is cheaply made with inferior materials. The elastic is thin and pretty much useless and the zippers and snaps are rough. On the other hand the AI jacket uses premium materials. This jacket is thicker. The elastic is thick and flexible. The zippers and snaps all work smoothly. The tag now says made in China. Regrettably, AI has moved their manufacturing to China, but decided not to pass those cost savings on to the consumer. The result is that you are paying the same price for what the US made version used to sell for. I actually owned the US version for many years and passed it on when I outgrew it. it was a very well made jacket. The Chinese made version is also well made, but should sell for a lot less. Corporate greed in action I suppose. YMMV

    5.0 out of 5 stars High quality, Killer jacket

    S.M. · December 4, 2014

    I live in Phoenix, AZ and have been needing a riding jacket for early morning commutes to school. I ride 26 miles to school everyday at about 80 mph in 40-50 degree weather. This jacket is perfect for the weather and I couldn't be happier.FIT:Like other reviewers have said, average sized people will need to order one size above their normal jacket/shirt size. I am 5'8" 180 pounds and wear a medium jacket and shirt. I ordered a large and it fit perfect. Keep in mind that this style of jacket is designed to sit high on the waist as the picture shows. It is best suited in the sitting position, hence the name Bomber Flight Jacket- made for pilots sitting in a cockpit.COMFORT:As mentioned on the Alpha Industries website and from personal experience, this jacket does best in 20-50 degree weather. The first day of wearing it I took it out for a ride on a 60 degree day and found it felt perfect at freeway speeds. Once I stopped to walk around, though, it was a tad bit too warm and I felt myself wanting to take it off. This jacket is more of a fall through spring warming layer depending on where you live.FINISH:This is probably the best jacket I have owned. It is made of high quality, durable materials and feels like it was made to withstand military use. Go figure. It is thicker than expected which was pleasing. The outer (darker) side is made of a thickly woven, almost rubbery feeling nylon that causes water to bead off in light rain. The inner (orange) side is a bit lighter in texture. The outer pockets are great for storing keys, a wallet or cellphone, but the inner pockets seem to be angled too far forward for storing anything of value. The arm pocket is perfect for cigarettes (if you're a smoker) or keeping a comb and registration, as I do. Lastly, the zippers are made of HEAVY brass and seem very durable. For the price, this jacket is a great deal.CONS:The inside pockets are not angled upwards enough. I put my cellphone in one and when bending over it slipped past the snap-fastener and fell out. No biggie, though, just don't store anything in them that is too small to slip past the snap-fastener. For those who are considering using the inside pockets for concealed carrying a pistol, I would recommend against it. With the angle of the pockets and their small size it makes concealing anything larger than a Glock 26 quite difficult in my opinion.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great jacket

    E. · January 26, 2025

    The jacket is very good and I liked the color. Unfortunated it was too small. I am 6”, 195 lbs. My measurements put me in a large. The large jacket was tight in the shoulders and chest, plus the sleeves were short. I reordered an XL which fits perfectly. I am very pleased with the jacket and vendor.

    5 stars. I'm ordering another one soon.

It fits well, but its a little tight if I wear a hoodie under it. Its still fits with a hoodie but I'd probably go for a large next time. I plan on getting a sage green one next.I actually only got the medium because other reviews from people about the same size as me said it fits good. Also the medium was on sale for around $120 while the large was around $160 so I figured if it was too small I could just return it and pay the extra $40 for a large but I don't think I'll need to do that..The quality is awesome. There were no loose threads like a few other reviewers said. And if anyone is wondering mine is black and it has gold zippers, not silver like in the picture but thats fine with me.I've been wearing flight jackets since the early 90s but this is my first Alpha Industries jacket and its definitely the highest quality one I've owned. I would recommend this for sure.
