I'll try airing it out again once the rain stops here.

Should I try dry cleaning it first? After all it has no decals and isn't a historical piece.

Actually I've had it for a year now. And I do have a green one as well... :lol:

Greetings: My Black Buzz MA-1 developed a smell when I wore it on a long passenger flight. Since then I've hung it inside out to air out, sometimes the smell subsides and comes back. And no it doesn't smell like "me", more like a general mildew smell. Although this is the Cayce Pollard MA-1 in...

MA-1 has not been current issue since the 70's, the current issue is the CWU series (the 36 light zone is already phasing out, the 45 is also due to retire in favor of the new modular flight clothing made from technical fabrics). So any MA-1 made today is a replica, no matter who makes it. Plus...

I am afraid to. Also it should be remembered that the "current issue" A-2 is a very different animal than the "classic issue" A-2.

Their historical A-2 in 46 fits me fine. As a comparison, I tend to prefer G-1s in 48, and my Areo Flight A-2 in 46 can only be worn with vintage cut trousers and if I suck my gut in. Their modern Luftwaffe jacket fits me fine in 46 too.

Hello, I am the idiot who keeps buying up all the size 48 G-1's on eBay. My experience there is that certain items just don't seem to stabilize price wise. I also stalk eBay for Minox cameras and find that European sellers tend to set much higher reserves and BINs for Minox cameras then US...

I have one of these in what they called "jerky" horsehide, slightly mismatched. My understanding is the Aero Flight label was used for a number of reduced-price jackets, including jackets made by novice sewers, as well as the indian goat and others.

I realize this is unhelpful, but I would think that the answer would depend upon whether the jacket is insulated.
