Was this company ever a contractor for flight jackets? They do manufacture uniforms.

They make a reasonable jacket, but no, I don't believe so.

Hmmm....look pretty good for a "beater" jacket. Anyone ever get one?

Identical to the old Alpha vintage series and same sizing, also the same colours as the alphas where, the blue is that light shade I dyed mine dark blue, but I think you will find that webpage is years out of date. Ok for the money if they still sell them.

I wonder if they relabeled their jackets for Alpha?

You can pick these up on eBay pretty regularly for around $40-60, which is about what I paid for a used MA1.

I emailed Weintraub a few months back, and they said they no longer make the vintage style flights, nor do they have any deadstock in their inventories.

Speaking from my experience; I found their MA1 to be pretty cheaply made (unbranded zips, synthetic fill, etc); I'd be interested to hear if anyone's owned one of their L2As or Bs, cos I think those are already pretty flimsy feeling jackets and would thus consider copping one :lol:
