FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The MA-1 D-Tec is designed for wind and light weather resistance but is not classified as a fully waterproof raincoat.
How does the regular fit compare to slim fit?
The regular fit is more spacious throughout the chest and arms, allowing for easier layering compared to a slim-fit jacket.
Can I remove the Velcro patch?
Yes, the logo Velcro patch on the chest is designed to be removable or replaceable.
What material is the jacket made from?
The jacket uses durable nylon-based construction typical of Alpha Industries' traditional flight jacket specifications.
Is the 'Remove Before Flight' tag removable?
Yes, the tag is attached via a clip or ribbon and can be removed if you prefer a cleaner look.
Troubleshooting
The zipper feels stiff
Apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or a pencil graphite rub to the teeth to improve smoothness.
Creasing in the nylon fabric
Hang the jacket on a sturdy, wide-shoulder hanger in a steam-filled room to gently release wrinkles without high heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your bomber jacket in peak condition, always check the internal care label for specific washing instructions, as synthetic flight materials typically require cold machine washing or professional dry cleaning. Avoid tumble drying to prevent fabric degradation. When sizing, ensure you consult the size guide provided for the 'regular fit' cut to ensure the shoulders and sleeve length match your frame, as Alpha Industries sizing can differ from standard retail brands.
