Pros: Love this jacket
Cons: None found
Review:
Having read all the reviews on this site about this product I was expecting to have problems with the zipper but surprised none were encountered. I love this jacket. I had a similar flight jacket many years ago and this one is identical in that it's not too bulky and keeps you nice and toasty. I really couldn't find anything negative to mention. Performance - great Fit - I ordered this slightly larger than necessary to enable layering and as such I believe that this is true to size Workmanship - no problems found here

Pros: As advertised....fit...finish...warmth

I wear this jacket daily. Washington state is wind-rain....always. Jacket stands the test. I had one of the originals back in the mid 60's. This jacket is as good if not better. Good job.

This jacket looks cool, keeps you warm, is invertible, and is very versatile. Decently water resistant, this is a great allrounder for spring and fall when it gets a little chilly. If bomber jackets are your thing, Alpha Industries is the way to go.

Surprisingly a great jacket for a modest price
By Faustino

Pros: Warm and light weight
Cons: Don't know of any
Review:
Great jacket for a modest price. I was skeptic when ordering jacket but when the jacket arrived I was pleasantly surprised. When ordering it was suggested that I ordered one size up from the size I usually wear, the jacket fits great. The only reason I gave a four out of five was because there's always room for improvement, so I don't know what it is. Finally, was a good investment I'm very happy with the jacket.

Nice jacket, funky zippers.
By Riley
from Belt MT USA
on Friday, January 25, 2013
Pros: Good materials, workmanship, and fit. Fairly warm, too.
Cons: The Zipper.
Review:
The jacket is well made, very comfortable, and warmer than I expected. The only downside is relatively minor, and that is the zipper that others have mentioned. The sharp edges of the teeth are a bit annoying, but I can live with that. I do wish it wasn't the shiny bright gold color. Doesn't really look like brass (though I suspect it is.) It looks a bit odd against the black fabric. A duller brass color or a dark color would be an improvement. I am actually thinking of trying some ways to give it a patina.
I got a size larger than I normally wear, and it is just right. I wear it most every day unless it is real cold out.

Looks different from the picture
By Tiger Driver
from Canyon Lake, Texas
on Thursday, December 08, 2011
Pros: Durable, warm, tough looking -- military all the way
Cons: Zipper edges and bright uncovered gold
Review:
Nice jacket overall. Heavy for colder weather. The zipper edges are sharp (won't cut you, but irritating) and, unlike the picture with no gold showing, the zipper is a very shiny gold that stands out from the black jacket because it is not covered by the jacket edges -- like a vertical gold stripe. Normally I wear a large. Ordered an XL as suggested by some. Felt like a tent. Had to ship it back for $9.50 to get a refund. Go with a green or lighter color. Keep in the mind the zipper. A super military look. I wore green one like it in USAF -- great warm and comfortable.

Not the best jacket
By David
from Carrollton TX USA
on Wednesday, February 20, 2013
Pros: Seems comfortable
Cons: Bad Zipper
Review:
The zipper is sticking, hopefully this will stop with use. The velcro for the name patch shown in the picture did not come with the jacket.
Because of the zipper I have not worn it a much as my previously worn out jacket
