I recommend the "Knox Armory" brand MA-1 jackets. They are made by Alpha (maker of the military issue MA-1 jacket), but cut to "civilian" specs so they will size like any other off-the-rack jackets.The Knox brands are not certified to 20-deg temps like the military-spec Alpha, but are still quite comfortable from mid-30 to mid-60 degree temps. This is mainly due to Alpha's use of a slightly less durable, thinner nylon. The Knox brands are also sewn to the same military specs as their Alpha brothers, so you're NOT buying a "cheap" copy; you are buying an Alpha made with non-military-spec materials (nylon outer shell). At half the price of an Alpha, the Knox is a no-brainer alternative to an Alpha. Overall, both are great jackets.Pricing on Amazon may be a bit higher than other online retailers (military surplus, Sportsmans Guide, etc.), but with super-saver shipping, the cost is about the same.One thing to remember with Knox or the original Alpha: They are Dry Clean ONLY! In a pinch, you can wash them alone, on a gentle cycle, but you will run the risk of eventually bursting the shoulder seams and causing the poly-fill to separate and "bunch-up".

Very impressed with this jacket in terms of value for money. It is not an Alpha Industries MA-1, but then you are not paying that price. But for under 40 dollars it really is a great jacket. I am 6'1" and 185 pounds and found the Large to be too big for me as the arms were too long and bunched up, pushing the shoulders up and making my shoulders look like a football player. I returned it for a Medium which fits just great.

My son wanted this jacket for a Christmas gift. He found it at amazon and we ordered it. The jacket was delivered on-time and exactly as stated...just exactly what my son was looking for. No problems so far. I will admit, he is taking very good care of his precious jacket. :-) I would recommend Alpha Industries as a reliable source, and this jacket as it is described. Thanks Alpha Industries for the good deal!
