Q: What size would I need to fit 52inch chest
Tb?
A: I would suggest a 3XL or 4XL. As a guide, the 4XL measures approx 30" across the front on the outside armpit-to-armpit, but it is quite padded.
Q: Are these jackets fire proof?
A: No they're not.
Q: Which jacket this one or CWU49/P is the most suitable for Autumn/winter use on my trike.
A: If you're referring to warmth, then they are both equivalent, just different styles.
Q: is the jacket as fitted as the picture suggests? as other ma1 jackets i have seenn do not seem to be.
A: Probably not quite as much as the image suggests. Although it is elasticated around the waist which pulls it in a bit.
Q: just need to know if size 'Medium' is 42 or 44'' ???
A: A medium size would be closer to a 44" chest.
Q: Do the smaller sizes cover "Youth", age 12 or so ?
A: As these are adult jackets we would expect that even the smaller jackets will be too big for a 12 year old, however we do also do a kids ma1 flight jacket that goes up to size 11-12 years.
Q: what is the chest size of a 8xl? i am looking for a 60/62" chest
A: The approximate size for an 8xl jacket would suit up to a 60" chest.
Q: Could you tell me if this is machine washable?
A: The label says dry clean only.
Q: I'm looking for an MA-1 style jacket, but suited more for indoor use 65 to 70F. I think the Alpha MA-1 is intended for colder environments. How does the PILOT jacket compare?
A: The pilot jacket is of a slightly more lightweight material than the Alpha versions so would be more suitable, however both are really designed for cold conditions.
Q: Please describe the differences between the ALPHA MA1 flight jacket and the PILOT MA1 jacket. Also which jacket would be the most suited for summer riding on my Harley motorbike.
A: The Alpha MA1 is made by the Alpha Industries - the company that invented this style of jacket in the 1950s. It is an original Alpha and is of the quality you would expect from a company with a strong tradition of manufacturing military wear. The other MA1 jackets we sell are copies of these original Alpha ones. As a Harley rider, I'm sure you would appreciate the look and quality of an authentic Alpha MA1 jacket.
