Anyone have an Alpha reissue kicking around that can comment on the fit? Or can recommend a slightly longer, much slimmer than traditional MA 1 in navy blue?

Better than I would have expected.

In my mind though they're supposed to be a bit puffy, I don't like the slim thin material ones. I wear mine late fall and winter only pretty much on the north east. I got it for like thirty dollars from a work store in my neighborhood, it's exactly what you would expect. I feel like I generallywant mmilitary surplus stuff to look like military surplus stuff.

I shouldn't have slept on the H&M MA-1.

Uniqlo one is kind of ****.

For those who regret not getting the H&M: Don't know about international stores but the German H&M online shop still has a full size run of the bomber jacket.

Has anyone actually put anything in their little arm pocket for the MA-1?

I feel like reaching for my side pockets it easier like 10/10 times
