Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can you confirm what part of the cuff is used to get the 19 inch measurment, is this to the knitted cuff or to the end of the cuff?
A: It is to the end of the cuff.
Q: Does it have any inside pockets?
A: Yes, it has 2 inside pockets, in the same position as the outer pockets.
Q: Has the black ma-1 alpha jacket got a heavy duty BRIGHT brass zip or a dull antique brass zip?
A: It has a heavy duty bright brass zip.
Q: Do the knitted waistband and cuffs go baggy after washing?
A: No, but in accordance with manufacturer's instructions, this item should be dry-cleaned only.
Q: I will wish to know if Alpha Industries MA-1 Nylon Flight Jacket exists in white?
A: No, sorry.
Q: Are you sure that this jacket has a bright brass zip? On the picture it looks to be plastic. I wanted one of these jackets for riding a motorcycle but with a zip that will not scratch the tank! Do you have such a MA1 jacket that would meet these requirements?
A: It does have a metal zip pull, and it has an extra leather piece attached to it.
Q: Before I place an order can you advise on size. Is a large the standard uk large?
A: Many customers say that these jackets come up a little on the small side, so if in doubt go for a larger size.
Q: Please can you tell me, on this the MA1 can you comfortably get your hands in the outer pockets and leave them there whilst walking? I have a CWU/45P Alpha jacket but these pockets are too high up to use comfortably.
A: Yes, the pockets on the MA1 are lower than on the CWU. The pockets were intentionally made high on the CWU to stop airmen walking around base with their hands in their pockets!
