No problem, happy to help. The nylon jackets are my main area of interest, I’ll try to post up some pics.

350 is fine if it is immaculate and you really want that particular one. Patience is your wallet's friend.
You'll find the right one (no stains, virtually no wear, no fading) for oh 250-300 or thereabouts. Skip the ones above 400 or so. Unless.....etc.
On ebay, ten years ago there were weeks when not a single Buzz showed up. When I search them now I see hundreds of Buzz jackets, it pays to be picky. Most will be tagged either Lion Uniform or Buzz Rickson. As far as I know these are identical jackets, but don't take my word for it as I never made a comparison.
You can also keep an eye on Real McCoy, they make great MA-1's as well. Well, in my opinion anyway.
Real McCoy shows up a lot less than BR.
These are pretty short jackets, as per the originals. It helps if you have a short upper body.
Buzz made a Slender version as well, which would be an option.
And you can always wait for an original to show up, or order a boxed & wrapped NOS MA-1 with Jorge.
Just my 0.02 cents

I had a nice A1 once, vintage reproduction but used to ride up like a woman's crop top haha I like wearing vintage pants and jeans that take suspenders, high waist, that's the only thing that would work haha
