Anyone aware of a perforated MA-1? This one is Damir Doma. I prefer a more perforated body since I live out in the desert and only get to use my jackets for a couple of month out of the year tops even though it gets windy, so something lightweight in perforated fabric is ideal for me.

Is there any fitting rule of thumb for bomber jacket? Should the length of the jacket end above the belt buckle?

Hey bros I'm looking for a light slim fitting ma-1 jacket since I live in Florida and weather hardly drops below 45f.The only one I found was the alpha industries ma-1 tt. Can anyone who has handled or owns one please tell me about the quality. Is it worth the price? Is there any alternative jackets I should look at.Thanks.[B]http://www.atomretro.com/product_info.cfm?product_id=10518[/B]

got this toj suiting wool and not sure if I should keep it, it looks fine open but when zipped up, I can't figure out if it's too short or if the hem is too tight. And also the upper body feels a bit tight in general when zipped up.

Keep. I think it's designed to be worn open.

It's too small, but seems wearable.

+1, would really like to know the sizing and quality of the ma-1 TT as well as if it's shiny. Any other suggestions for a black, minimal, *no* sleeve pocket and preferably matte nylon bomber (hrmm I guess it's called a blouson or something and not an ma-1 without the pocket?). Something like the 3sixteen stadium jacket but not waxed cotton.

fit pic of the enfin leve?
Anything you want to know about it? My mobile takes really ****** pics, but I can take a picture of it if you want. Mine was a "custom" order as I didn't want the zippers on the back and they were very helpful in the process. I'd say it's a pretty good price for custom, MTM bomber.
