Today, Bronson ma-1, delivered 6 weeks later...Friends, you were right, the build quality is amazing for the money.

I'm a shitty photographer...

Great fitting jacket ... looks good on you. Congrats !

Good fit I think the only let down with the Bronson is the lack of the leather pull on main zip small details make a big difference to some people

FYI ..... if you go to any fabric shop or handi craft store , you can buy a bag of leather scrapes for cheap money and with a sharp pair of scissors make all the leather zipper pulls you’ll ever need .

I got it right. that the zipper should have the same leather clasp as on the sleeve, a little more..

Nice jacket, but if initially Bronson used zippers that were not used on the real contract MA-1 as well as incorrect sleeve pocket placement (and incorrect fabric for warm pockets lining) - and calling it "complete reprodused the 1955 МА-1" so the lack of leather puller is trifle compared to this. If we are talking about precision and purism.

 

[AlexLutov]

You're right, friends. obviously, this ma1 is not quite as accurate as we would like..but I was looking for a ma1 close to the real one and bronson did not cope with this and I probably got to put up with some inconsistencies. It's definitely twice as good as today's Alpha)))

[AlexLutov]

Not a problem..

Eastman G-1, maybe my favourite jacket, you can't beat goatskin.

Eastman's G-1... comparing originals and repros aside, ELC's G-1 is one of the most comfortable flight jackets (at the correct size) I have ever tried on.
I have owned a couple of original G-1s in the correct size, and owned a number of repros, but none have fit/ felt quite as well as one of these.

Here's my Bronson got it for Christmas and my attampt at a leather pull
I am well aware of the design deficiency just wish they did a pull on a main zip which would not require a lot of changes as they do one for the cigarette pocket
It a very good jacket for the price and an excellent daily wearer

Well used ELC Monarch. Too big for me now so it will be looking for a new home when I get round to listing it.

It looks good on you in the photo.

Thanks Burt. It's off the shoulder and rather too roomy for my new svelte physique

 

[busdrivermike]

Sorry but Today was a blanket lined denim jacket I guess also a called a trucker jacket
For what ever reason
I love the casual style, I’m thinking maybe a leather version perhaps Buffalo ? with removable blanket
Liner might be an awesome jacket , hmmmmmmm
