Iconic model, great quality, attracts attention – the jacket is worth every penny spent. I recommend taking at least one size larger than you usually wear. I am 182/100 kg and took XXL, which fits perfectly. If I wanted it more fitted, XL would also be OK.
Kurtka Alpha Industries MA-1 TT Flying Tigers - Sage Green
Constructed from robust, tear-resistant fabrics, the MA-1 jacket delivers superior defense against cold, wind, and moisture. Inspired by its original use for USAF pilots, the reversible design allows for both a classic appearance and a high-visibility orange side that enhances safety in challenging conditions. With its thoughtfully engineered structure and multiple pockets, the jacket excels for everyday wear and for outdoor pursuits.
Durable materials and reversible design
The exterior is crafted from highly durable and tear-resistant nylon, offering protection against wind and moisture.
The MA1 is designed to be worn on both the right and left sides. The lining features a bright, reflective orange color—a nod to the jacket’s origins with USAF pilots. In emergency situations such as crashes or being shot down, this vibrant color increased visibility and improved the chances of being found by rescue teams. Today, this practical feature serves well for added visibility when walking along unlit roads outside populated areas.
Thermal strip and elastic cuffs
The primary fastening mechanism of the MA-1 Heritage model is a single-direction zipper equipped with a synthetic leather pull tab, ensuring ease of use even while wearing gloves. An internal thermal stripe runs beneath the zipper, offering extra insulation from the cold. For enhanced protection and an improved fit, elastic ribbed sections are featured on the collar, cuffs, and waistband.
5 practical pockets
Equipped with five spacious pockets, the jacket ensures ample storage for essentials:
- a pair of front pockets secured with flaps and snap fasteners,
- two interior pockets featuring snap closures,
- and a single pocket on the left sleeve, fastened with a zipper.
A Remove Before Flight tag has been positioned on the sleeve beside the pocket, reinforcing the authentic military aesthetic. Distinctive Flying Tigers unit insignia embellishes the jacket.

Great jacket. It matches both everyday outfits and outdoor clothing. Despite the lack of insulation, it is perfect for the transitional period to wear a fleece or a hoodie underneath. The size runs small – I usually wear L or XL, but in this case, I had to take XXL for the width of my clothes in the chest about 60 cm.

The jacket is excellent. The material is of high quality and the jacket is perfect for everyday use. A classic in the best style, with additional patches that add style and elegance. I believe everyone should have it in their collection. The jacket is thin, so it is perfect for spring and summer. I highly recommend it.

I really liked the style of this jacket. It combines modernity with classic aviator jackets. It is not too warm, rather a transitional piece for spring or autumn, but that's exactly what I was looking for.
