Review:
Hello, Friends.I hope to help you with my personal shopping experience in MyPilotStore.
I never had bought a Flight Jacket on Internet.
I always wanted an Alpha Industries Flight Jacket.
I am very undecided and it was very difficult to me to decide the purchase by the lack of real data that lets you to decide the definitive purchase just how when you see it, touch it, feel it and test it in a physical store.
All the information on the website of the product helps us very much but you can always doubt about something.
I am an European (Spanish) man and the most difficult to me was to choose the right size because the American sizing is bigger than the European sizing.
I measure 1.80 m (1.8m = 5ft 10^ 55⁄64 in) and weight 85 kg (85kg = 187lb 6.2870oz) and I normally wear an European Medium size but for me an American Small size is perfect in this Flight Jacket. I like cool fit tightly but confortable clothes and a bigger size would be like a sack especially in the back. Cool Jacket!
The sage green colour is really fantastic because it is very discreet and you can combinate with many styles, different colours and different contexts. It is a versatile colour. Cool colour!
This shopping experience has been extremely successful and totally a wise and a successful.
I hope you have also a good shopping experience.
Thank you very much, MyPilotStore!

Review:
This is a great jacket, other than not being made of Nomex, it's just like (but much larger) the one I owned when I was on active duty. However, I read other people's reviews and many said it was cut small and recommended ordering a larger size. I wish I had not listened to their reviews. I ordered a larger jacket and it's way too big. I think my grandson could fit inside with me, I can wear 2-3 sweaters or sweat shirts and still have room. But, I'd rather have it too big than too small. I thought about returning it for a smaller size, but have decided to keep it. I think it would be okay to order your regular size and if it's too small, then return it. I went by the size chart and then ordered a size larger. I ended up with a 3X and could have probably worn my regular size, which is XL, and still would have had room.

Pros: Doesn't get much better than this.
Cons: None
Review:
This jacket is as good as or better than the one I was issued. Everyone loves the look. It fits perfectly. The size I ordered is the size I got. Zippers are smooth to operate and all the seams are perfect. If you could offer a service to sew on patches (those being provided by the owner) that would make to look like it was issued that way.

Best Tarmac jacket I've ever owned
By Stephan
from Watsonia VIC Australia
on Tuesday, September 20, 2011
Pros: Cheaper than a nomex jacket
Cons: nylon and so a fire hazzard.
Review:
Warm, comfortable and a great fit. Quality of finish is great, I think I have worn it every day since it came in the post. I've had the Base taylor sew hook and pile for my rank slides and SQN patch, it's the same colour as the issue flight suit, and much much warmer that the issue flight jacket. Would be nice to see a cotton or none flamable fabric version at the same sort of price (nomex is best, but so expensive)

Review:
Jackets were bought for Iraqi Air Force student pilots and were a BIG hit. Although not Nomex, and therefore not authorized for flight by military aircrew, the jackets were just great for pre-flighting on cold mornings and off-flightline wear. The look and feel of the jackets is very close to Nomex and the fit, form and function are among the best copies of the CWU-45P that I've seen. Other pilots who bought similar (non ALPHA) products all wished they had bought an ALPHA jacket. A great jacket at a fair price!

Great jacket for multiple missions
By Jon Haber
from San Francisco, CA
on Monday, October 14, 2013
Pros: Value ,comfort, Top Gun looks and 3 large pockets.
Cons: None, aside from its care : must be dry cleaned.
Review:
This is one of four flying jackets that I own : could be the most practical and a great value. The large pockets are great for long excursions : easily holds flight maps, glasses, phones and 2 or 3 NY bagels ! The warmth of the jackets excels ; perfect for cycling in weather above 45 degrees or a walk over the Golden Gate Bridge. The slim fit is a standout, giving a rakish military look. Had no trouble use the zipper, at all.

Great flight jacket; Great jacket
By David
from Barrington NH USA
on Friday, January 31, 2025
Pros: Quality, fit, performance, and even makes the person wearing it look better!
Cons: Not a single one.
Review:
I bought this jacket to be my "Winnebago" and put all my service patches and base patches on. Wasn't expecting such a finely made jacket, and was thrilled with the quality. Looks great, fits great....did I say "great"? The price for a jacket this warm and this nice is a steal. In fact I may buy another one just because it beats a Carhartt or any other brand for quality and price. Looks like I found a company that takes pride in its product, which is a very rare find.
