    MA-1 Flight jacket

    Thanks AF, I used to have a 8279F dated 1987，it seems that the outer shell is a lot thinner than C and D series, so I didn't keep it. And I do want to thank you again, AF, I started collecting MA-1 jackets when I saw that photo of you wearing 1961 skyline with a jeep, it's so beautiful! I must...

    Nomex Flyer jacket

    Alpha made Nomex CWU-36/P and 45/P by goverment contract, and also made non-contract Nomex CWU-36/P and 45/P for civilian market. As long as the tag has a goverment contract number, the fabric has to be Nomex.

    Navy CPO shirt

    Fidelity sportswear CPO looks fine. I have a H&M CPO shirt, 65% wool if I don't remember wrong. It has a small problem, the collar stand has no lining, so my neck is always itching wearing it.

    Do you wear CWU-45/P, 36/P, MA-1, M-65 ?

    Thank you so much, Ian, I finally got my 34R last weekend，great condition and a pretty nice price. The jacket dated 1944, has some stains on the lining, but the outter shell is perfect.

    Thanks Ian. I have been watching for M-43 34R or 36R on Ebay for months, never find one in excellent condition. Anyway, I'll keep watching.

    Do you wear CWU-45/P, 36/P, MA-1, M-65 ?

    I'd never seen a pic of Alpha Replica series, what's the difference between the Replica and the Vintage series? In what way the Replica series are more accurate?

    Do you wear CWU-45/P, 36/P, MA-1, M-65 ?

    Thanks Ian, what's your height and chest measurement? My height is 175cm, chest 90cm, shoulder 45cm, do you think the original M43 size 34R without liner is a good fit for me?

    Do you wear CWU-45/P, 36/P, MA-1, M-65 ?

    I love M-43, and I have a repro, wish I could find an original someday.

    Do you wear CWU-45/P, 36/P, MA-1, M-65 ?

    The MA1 I have is a Alpha Vintage Series, it has a green lining, it's probly made in 1990's. I think it's a lot better than the commercial version Alpha MA1 made in China. Buzz MA1 is a good choice, I just can't afford it:D

    Do you wear CWU-45/P, 36/P, MA-1, M-65 ?

    Do you wear jackets like CWU-45/P, CWU-36/P, MA-1, M-65? A-2 is my favorite, but I also wear CWU-45/P and MA-1 a lot.

    What's the exact colour of ELC Werber 1729?

    Thank you very much, Stand By, I am totally,absolutely convinced! No kidding. Sure I'm gonna wear it as much as I can, it's a great pleasure wearing A-2, I'm gonna leave all my other jackets like MA-1,CWU-36/P, 45/P in the closet this year:D

    What's the exact colour of ELC Werber 1729?

    Yes, I agree with you that the light source would make a difference, maybe they used a special light source to make that jacket look like it has been worn for a longtime and show the right colour.

    What's the exact colour of ELC Werber 1729?

    Thank you, Andrew, I did some homework about ELC A-2 in this forum before I ordered this jacket, I find your comment about ELC 1729 is very helpful, thanks again!
