FAQs

What does the "Remove before flight" tag signify?

The "Remove before flight" tag is a safety reminder traditionally attached to aircraft components or covers that should be removed before the aircraft is operated. It's a nod to aviation heritage incorporated into the jacket's design.

Is this jacket suitable for very cold weather?

The Ma-Tt Bomber Jacket is designed as a transitional piece and offers moderate warmth. It is best suited for cool to mild weather conditions. For extreme cold, layering with warmer garments underneath is recommended.

How do I determine if the slim fit is right for me?

The slim fit is designed to be more tailored and closer to the body than a regular fit. If you prefer a looser feel or plan to wear very bulky layers underneath, this fit might feel restrictive. Reviewing the product's measurements or trying it on is advisable.

Can I wash this jacket in a washing machine?

Yes, you can machine wash the jacket in cold water with like colors. However, avoid bleach and opt for low heat tumble dry or line drying to preserve the material and shape.

What are the differences between the Ma-1 TT and other Alpha Industries bomber jackets?

The Ma-1 TT typically features a slimmer silhouette and a lighter nylon shell compared to the original MA-1. It often includes modern updates while retaining classic bomber jacket elements.

Does the red color fade over time?

With proper care, including washing in cold water and avoiding direct sunlight for prolonged periods, the red color should retain its vibrancy. Tumble drying on low heat also helps prevent fading.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too tight

Consider the jacket's slim fit design; if uncomfortable, layering should be limited to thin items. For a looser fit, explore other Alpha Industries models or consider sizing up if available.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Nylon material has minor scuffs

For light scuffs, try gently rubbing the area with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For more significant marks, consult a professional dry cleaner.

Knitted cuffs are losing shape

Hand wash the cuffs gently and lay flat to dry. Avoid stretching them excessively during washing or drying.
