Customer Reviews

 By Mr. D
All and all, a very good quality jacket. Warm, and strong, but not for heavy winters whatsoever. Only complaint from my side is that the sizes are not made the way the are supposed to be. Jacket can fit you in length, shoulders and sleeves, but still at some point you could fit one more person in there. The only bad point

The legendary MA-1 Flight Jacket is perhaps the most recognizable jacket in military aviation history. This style is easily identified by its reversible lining to emergency orange originally used for high visibility to rescue pilots whose planes went down.

 Made by Alpha, not a cheap copy!, April 30, 2011

Sam "Eagle 85" (Kentucky) -This review is from: Knox Armory MA-1 Flight Jacket (Apparel)
I recommend the "Knox Armory" brand MA-1 jackets. They are made by Alpha (maker of the military issue MA-1 jacket), but cut to "civilian" specs so they will size like any other off-the-rack jackets.

The Knox brands are not certified to 20-deg temps like the military-spec Alpha, but are still quite comfortable from mid-30 to mid-60 degree temps. This is mainly due to Alpha's use of a slightly less durable, thinner nylon. The Knox brands are also sewn to the same military specs as their Alpha brothers, so you're NOT buying a "cheap" copy; you are buying an Alpha made with non-military-spec materials (nylon outer shell). At half the price of an Alpha, the Knox is a no-brainer alternative to an Alpha. Overall, both are great jackets.

Pricing on Amazon may be a bit higher than other online retailers (military surplus, Sportsmans Guide, etc.), but with super-saver shipping, the cost is about the same.

One thing to remember with Knox or the original Alpha: They are Dry Clean ONLY! In a pinch, you can wash them alone, on a gentle cycle, but you will run the risk of eventually bursting the shoulder seams and causing the poly-fill to separate and "bunch-up".
