Delta Classic MA-1 Bomber Flight Jacket

Product Information

V. shows like 24 and on celebrities like Daniel Craig, Bradley Cooper, David Beckham and Kanye West. Rather than bulky leather, a sleek, lightweight yet warm jacket was needed for the new jet technology. But doing away with the sleeve pocket, front storm flap and flapped lower pockets gives it a much cleaner look.

Adopted on and off screen by the likes of Marlon Brando and Ryan Gosling, it's played its own part in uniforms of countless subcultures, Long associated with skinheads from years gone by, the classic MA-1 literally re-wrote the bomber jacket rule book. The lightweight nylon design allowed the pilot to wear the jacket open and be comfortable in warm weather.

The green was eventually adopted because it blended more easily with the environment should the pilot need camouflage protection on the ground. A: The Alpha MA1 is made by the Alpha Industries - the company that invented this style of jacket in the 1950s.

So we’re getting the classic, slightly oversized fit, the shirring along the sleeves and that slightly shiny “Flight Nylon” shell with the blaze orange reversible interior. For the outer shell, they’ve used a 68% cotton, 32% recycled polyester fabric that’s backed up with their 365-Day Guarantee.

If you’re willing to spend an extra ten or twenty bucks you might be better off trying the more well reviewed Rothco Enhanced Nylon MA-1. The MA-1 bomber jacket (also known as the MA-1 flight jacket) is an American military jacket which was developed in the 1950s. Most of the negative reviews (and even some of the positive ones) mention that the shell fabric Rothco uses is stiff and makes very noticeable “swish” and “crinkle” sounds whenever you move.Sizes available: s - 38-40, m - 40-42, l - 42-44, xl - 44-46, 2xl - 46-48, 3xl - 48-50, 4xl - 50-52 and 5xl - 52-54.
