This are my first impressions of this beautiful garment, It fits very slim i'm a short person 5'7, 155 pounds and the small t fits just right, little bit long on the sleeves, cuffs are really long but you can fold them actually very comfortable. Not very much room on chest when closed, perfect for wear with t shirts or even with a very thin layer like a sweater or a thermal, its gonna be tight with a thick hoodie, in that case you should go for the medium for more room, also shoulders fit just right too. This is definitively for a slim to normal person type, if you are overweight and have that big belly forget about it you should go for the regular fit. It seems very warm jacket perfect for fall-winter season i might say for the 40-50 degrees will cover you up from those chilly days. It comes with an orange reversible side, gold hardware and sturdy zippers and leather accents. 5 pockets 2 exterior and 2 interior and 1 arm. I am glad they made this slim fit because the regular seems very roomy and not very flattering, thats why i decide to buy this one. Made in China but with US military standards. Comes with the classic red ribbon on arm pocket that you can unmount. The nylon is a super beautiful material seems water and wind resistant. I think this is a lifetime piece that will go with me in my adventures. Read more

At 6' 3" 215 this xxl slim fits at the shoulders and is not so bulky as a xxl around the torso. Great jacket. Read more

Fantastic jacket! At 6'2" with a 42-inch chest, I opted for an XL to ensure extra room under the arms. It pairs perfectly with hoodies for casual wear and looks polished with turtlenecks for more elevated occasions. Read more

I am very satisfied with this jacket. It is a high quality jacket & the packing was very professional. There are also several fashionable patches included. As a military member, I appreciate the fact that non-military patches are given. I like to be fashionable, however not at the cost of stolen valor. Military patches are earned. The use of fashionable patches included with this jacket speakes volumes to the level of respect & professionalism Alpha Industries holds for the military & for selling quality products. The coat is warm & slim fitting. I am a long & slim 5'11" @ 174lbs. My arm length often poses problems with finding slim fitting clothing with appropriate sleeve length. This jacket fits perfect. Anyone with complaints about the fit of this jacket are making a mistake. You have to carefully consider your body shape & size & be truthful with yourself. Don't purchase a "slim fit" anything & then complain about how it's too snug. You're obviously too large for a slim fit & need to either size up or purchase a "regular fitting" jacket. In conclusion, I will be purchasing this jacket in every color. In these times, you get what you pay for & this was money well spent. Read more

The slim fit men's MA-1 jacket will fit smaller than expected compared to the regular men's MA-1. I originally purchased my typical size medium yet it was too snug when trying it on. I returned it for a size large with no hassle. The size large fits perfect, I strongly suggest going up one size on this jacket. I'm 5'9" 160lbs. The jacket has very durable construction and the materials used are of high quality. The colors are strong and vibrant. I got this slim fit MA-1 in black which is dark with no fades. The inner orange color pops with brightness which creates a stylish accent when wearing. The zipper hardware is beefy and will stand the test of time. The two front pockets are a bit high which is understandable, but they're functional if needed. Pocket flaps can be inserted into the pocket for a "open pocket" appearance. I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase, other bombers out there don't compare to the quality of Alpha Industry products. I strongly recommend this jacket. Read more

Got this to cut down on the original MA-1 jacket poof. I like how the OG looks on others, but as someone who is 5β6β they kind of dwarf me and throw off my proportions. Originally I ordered this in a small because Iβm between sizes, but I had to exchange it for a medium. Iβm roughly 166lbs at the moment, and I have a slightly larger than average chest. The small was way too tight in the chest, but the medium is βjust rightβ. I will say that even the slim fit is slightly bigger than my Small size H&M MA-1 jacket. Longer arms, too. At least for shorter people. I prefer the fit of that jacket, but only by a slight margin. The Alpha is much better quality overall, though. Read more
