A masterpiece! Size M is just right for 178cm and 84kg, but L would also be good and actually more comfortable. I had a big dilemma about which to choose, and for now I went with M. Size L is just a little bigger, fits better, but I kept M so it would be just right even with a sweater. So the advice to choose a smaller size is not true, and I’m not a big guy. I have a standard build. The material and workmanship are excellent—probably the best company for this model. I was particularly convinced by the improved cuffs on the sleeves, which have two zones: one part, closer to the hand, has a denser stitch and is tighter. This shows a higher level of craftsmanship, and indeed the outer material is sturdy but pleasant to the touch—you can see it's top class—and the price isn’t too high. For me, this might be the best jacket I’ve owned so far. Comfortable and stylish. What also surprised me is what others wrote: it’s warm, and it really is! Even though it doesn’t button up to the neck, the jacket alone keeps you warm—even at -8°C, just with a t-shirt and a thin sweater under the neck. I was really surprised! Excellent protection. Sturdy material, lightweight, super comfortable, and warm. The opinions about the zipper being hard to use or needing to be waxed are totally false! That’s complete nonsense! The zipper moves smoothly and is probably one of the easiest and gentlest zippers I’ve ever had in a jacket. There’s no resistance at all when catching or sliding it up and down; it works perfectly. The fact that it might slide open by itself, as some have written, is because of a special military design—a kind of arch over the zipper that releases the lock under pressure from above, causing the zipper to descend—an auto-lock zipper. The jacket is great. I'm attaching some photos of the construction quality.

The black Brandit MA1 jacket is a stylish and functional choice, inspired by aviator jackets. It provides warmth, is comfortable, and made from high-quality materials, making it perfect for colder days when paired with a fleece. Its traditional design adds a touch of elegance and pairs well with various outfits. I wholeheartedly recommend this timeless, classic bomber model.

This jacket works great both for everyday use in the city and for light trips out of town. It is very warm and comfortable to wear, and it does not restrict movement even on colder days. The material is durable – after long-term use, there are no signs of wear, it does not stretch or pill, and its appearance remains like new. The distinctive orange lining makes it easy to quickly find the jacket in a bag and also adds style. The cut of the jacket is well-fitted but does not restrict movement, while the careful finishing and sturdy zippers speak to the high quality of the product. This is an ideal option for those who value functionality, comfort, and modern design.

Fantastic jacket, very comfortable and warm, carefully made, size matches the chart, attractive color, sturdy zipper works flawlessly. The jacket is definitely worth its price and recommendation. I highly recommend it.

I am 173 cm tall and weigh 70 kg, but the size M turned out to be too big. I think it would be suitable for someone who is 176-178 cm tall and weighs 74-75 kg. The jacket is solid and really waterproof, so it's definitely worth buying.

The Brandit MA1 jacket in Dark Navy shade is a stylish choice that refers to traditional flight jackets. It provides warmth, comfort, and is made from sturdy materials—perfect for chilly days. The deep navy color adds elegance, and the versatile cut goes well with various styles. I highly recommend it!

Good morning, I chose this jacket for my dad – it's great, fits well, and for a height of 172 cm and weight of 70 kg, size M fits perfectly. The quality is very high, the material is soft and very comfortable. I recommend buying it! The color and photos fully reflect reality.

Everything is fine! The size matches the description and the measurements provided. The jacket is sturdy, and the quality-to-price ratio is very good. In reality, it looks even better than in the photos. It has an interesting color. It's a real FLEK, like in the old days :) I definitely recommend it!

Great, warm jacket. I bought it thinking about going back to my youth days :):):). The jacket description on Militaria.pl is fully accurate. Size L fits perfectly for 185 cm height and 90 kg weight. The jacket is comfortable, just lightly wax it and the zipper works flawlessly. I highly recommend it with a clear conscience.
