Alpha Industries Women's MA-1 Flight Jacket

I live in So Cal, and this jacket is the perfect mid-weight jacket. I bought the maroon color which looks great! I wear nice knit tops to work with jeans and loafers, and this jacket works with what I'm wearing. But I also feel that I can dress it down with a T-shirt and sneakers, so it's very utilitarian.I was a bit concerned with selecting the size since I have a curvy athletic shape. Most of the reviews mentioned to size down. Because of my chest (38D), I usually wear a large in shirts, and sometimes medium. I decided to go true to size and bought a large, and the fit was perfect! I'm 5'3"/150- and the length was perfect with it falling right to the top of my hips- not too short and not too long!The jacket is not as bulky as I was led to believe. Also, keep in mind that this listing is for the women's fit (as noted with a W in the product name), so I don't believe there's a need to size down unless you're getting the standard men's version. If you're blessed in the chest and buying the women's version, definitely stay true to size unless you want them squished when you zip up the jacket. Much smaller chests may be able to size down if one wants that fitted look and also doesn't plan on zipping up the jacket.And for the tag, I saw that another reviewer also ordered the maroon-colored and had a spotted flight tag. Mine came with a standard red flight tag like I've seen on all the other jackets.

I'm honestly so glad I just bought the original jacket, and didn't try to go for a cheaper look-alike, since there are so many options for that. This is just a really beautiful well made jacket. I'm glad I sized down, to a small since it fits perfectly. It's still roomy, but it doesn't look overly bulky on me as a medium definitely wood. I can still comfortably wear a sweater underweath, and move my arms and shoulders. The fabric itself was also something that really impressed me, it's very smooth and soft to the touch, with a really beautiful sheen to it, that I don't see in knock off versions of this jacket. It just is really worth it in my opinion? Like it's pricey, but I don't feel any buyers regret.

It’s very slim fitting. Great quality and true to size.

I am on my fifth Alpha Industries MA-1 Jacket. Got this for my wife for when we go out on a date or bike riding. Be mindful of the size, though. I am a medium, but I get a large size for comfort and for being able to wear it over some extra clothing during winter. My wife is a size 2 which entitles her to a size XS jacket. That been said and based on previous experience, I got her the S size looking forward to the same results, and so it happened. The S size fits loose enough not to be tight and leaving room for extra. Perfect fit. Recommend.

Love it out of the bag. I thought the XS would have been my size, I was afraid it would be too boxy. I am 5'0 for reference and 110lbs. I do have curves, boobs and hips, but I have a small frame. I can wear a sweater under it, and it was immediately warming. I hate being cold. Also, the fabric is flexible so I can pull the sleeves up. Love it, may have to get the green one.

I don’t usually write reviews but this jacket most definitely deserves one. I loved the look of it but wasn’t sure what size to get since other reviews said it was either too large or small. I finally decided to go with a medium and it fit perfectly. For reference, I’m 5’9” and weigh 145 lbs. This jacket is beautiful and I can tell it will keep me warm but is also light weight at the same time. Can’t wait to show it off. Definitely recommend!

I love alpha industries coats, always super insulated and warm and durable as well. Worth the price!

Great quality jacket, but as a petite woman (5’2, 100 lbs), I was literally swimming in this jacket. It looked ridiculous on me and made me look extremely top heavy. Sleeves were also too long. Had to return.
