The jacket matches the description; it's a classic model, so there's nothing to complain about. The downside, however, is the material—it doesn't let air through, which makes it easy to get hot in it. Also, be careful with the sizing, because in my opinion, it runs a bit small.
Alpha Industries MA-1 TT Two Tone Jacket - Vintage Sand
The MA-1 jacket is crafted from rugged, abrasion-resistant fabric designed to shield against cold, wind, and moisture. Featuring a reversible design inspired by its initial use for US Air Force pilots, it can be worn as the classic style or with an eye-catching orange side for heightened visibility in challenging conditions. The carefully designed cut and numerous pockets make this jacket ideal for daily wear and outdoor adventures.
Durable materials and reversible design
The outer layer is made of strong, tear-resistant nylon, which effectively protects against wind and moisture. The ability to wear the jacket on both sides adds versatility. The inner part in an intense orange hue alludes to its original use - in the event of an emergency landing or shoot-down, pilots were more visible to rescue teams. Today, this practical solution can increase safety when walking along unlit roads.
Thermal strip and elastic cuffs
The primary zipper on the MA-1 TT is single-directional with an eco-leather handle for effortless fastening, even with gloves on. An internal thermal strip safeguards against heat escape by securing the zipper. Elastic welts on the collar, cuffs, and waistband ensure a snug fit and extra cold protection.
5 practical pockets
The MA-1 TT features five spacious pockets:
- two external ones with patches secured by snaps,
- two internal pockets also closed with snaps,
- and a pocket on the left sleeve sealed with a zipper.
A distinctive Remove Before Flight tag is positioned on the sleeve next to the pocket, highlighting its military style. Additionally, a tag with the manufacturer's logo is located on the left sleeve.
