I usually wear size L, but the jacket is quite wide in the cut, so I chose M and it was a great choice. The jacket is well made, not too thick, and the colour matches expectations.
Texar MA-1 Flyers Jacket - Olive
Lightweight, comfortable, and well-insulated jacket in Olive, designed in the style of classic flyers-type aviation jackets. The outer layer is made of durable, wind-resistant nylon. The inner polyester lining effectively protects against the cold.
Reversible design
The MA-1 model can be worn on both sides. The inner layer features a bright orange reflective color, referencing the original function of MA-1 jackets used by USAF pilots. In case of an emergency, it increased visibility and the chances of quick rescue. Today, this feature is useful, for example, when walking along dark roads outside built-up areas.
5 spacious pockets
The MA-1 jacket includes two outer pockets with flap and snap closures and two inner pockets with snap buttons. The sleeve features a zipper with an additional organizer for carrying a pen or other small items.
Main zipper, knitted cuffs
The central closure is a durable zipper. An additional flap under the zipper helps block moisture. Knitted cuffs at the collar, sleeves, and waist improve the fit and provide better protection against the cold.

This is already my second such jacket – I have a black one, now I’ve ordered an olive one, and after five years it still holds its quality. Plus for a good neck warmer, and in winter it works great, as a bomber should.
-
The jacket is well made and pleasant. The only drawback is the zip – some have mentioned it sticks, and mine sometimes undoes itself, because there's no lock. This can be prevented by hooking the inside of the zip to the storm flap, though it's not convenient. The sizing runs small – if you normally wear L, take L, as I did and it fits fine. If I chose according to the shop's table, the jacket would have been far too small. I'm 182 cm tall and weigh 85 kg – size L fits.
-
First I ordered size S but it was too small, so I exchanged it for M, which fits perfectly. Super warm jacket, perfect for winter. I like that Flyers has an orange side – it’s like two jackets in one. Great price, fast delivery!
-
Very good jacket, but I advise getting a smaller size because it is quite roomy. Well made, works great as a light yet warm jacket for the transition period – I recommend it!
-
I’m satisfied with both the jacket and the shop’s service. Sturdy, warm jacket, size 4XL is perfect for 191 cm and 120 kg. Ordered on 12.12, delivered on 18.12. I appreciate the detailed instructions and good return conditions.
-
Size L is suitable for 179 cm and 98 kg. The jacket is well made, though it doesn't look like those from the 90s. The downside is the too delicate zip and thin cuffs. If I had to choose between Alpha and Texar, I'd choose the latter – the price is reasonable, Alpha disappointed me. Overall, I recommend this purchase.
-
It’s a classic 'flek' style jacket, meeting the expectations of fans of this style. I chose olive (khaki), I like its reversibility and comfort, and also the fast order processing.
-
A smartly finished jacket made from high quality material. It protects well against wind and withstands rain nicely. It has trendy, practical pockets and looks good with a turtleneck or fleece. Excellent for cooler spring, autumn and mild winters, as long as it's not freezing. It has a comfortable, modern cut and is worth the price. I recommend it!
-
I ordered on Sunday, and on Monday the jacket was already with me! Fits perfectly, very comfortable. I'm 179 cm/76 kg and size M is just right. The jacket is warm and sturdy, I don't even take it off in shops.
-
I wore the jacket a few times and already noticed that the zips are of poor quality and they move when the jacket is unzipped. There is an immediate problem with fastening and there is pilling on the sleeves. Unfortunately, despite the attractive price, I do not recommend it.
-
Very good quality jacket. This is my second one – the previous one served me for 10 years. I’m nostalgic for the 90s. The sizing is accurate, XL is perfect for 185 cm and 92 kg. I wasn't disappointed again. I recommend it.
-
Very good jacket. At 176 cm tall and 76 kg, size S/M fits great, size L is too large. The quality is high, I have a comparison to Mil Tec – both are worth recommending, though Mil Tec is a bit shorter and has more filling. For this price, the quality is really high.
-
The jacket is light, but it keeps you warm despite not having a thick layer. The zip is metal and solid. Flyers is comfortable and durable. The only downside is a bit of a strange cut at the shoulders, as the jacket sticks out there. Other than that, no complaints.
-
Everything matches the description, the only flaw: the zip often jams and there are no zips on the pockets. The inner pockets could be bigger. Nevertheless, the material is pleasant and keeps warmth well.
