I checked.. I was thinking something more fitted and less puffy.

Their Reissue line looked good, but it seems as if its being discontinued or a new season is coming?

The Reissued version is nice; I posted about it upthread. They have been discontinued but the Maroon color is still available in all sizes.

Just got the ma-1 from enfinleve.com

Overally the quality is great, and the fabric is not as shiny as with other ma-1's, will check how it performs in the rain soon


It hasn't been raining here but I tried the cotton fabric under the tap and it beads the water away pretty well.

i do miss my old ervell ma-1

b532522a_combinedPE2.jpeg


color was great and l like the volume

I had this during the same time, too and was awesome

LL


Let it go at the time due to short funds :fu:

Now I have this...can't wait to put it on later this year. Cashmere is insanely soft and smooth, nice and voluminous. Also Siki Im

[not this one]

Stock photo is a bit deceiving...the color is much higher when not folded down, which is nice. Really warm and cozy (unlined).

So if the re-issued is out of the question (unless you want burgundy), where can you guys direct me to find a semi warm, nylon, affordable MA-1?

Still trying to find one that meets all of my criteria:

- matte
- not that puffy
- at least kinda slim
- long enough arms
- gas mask/chest pocket
- arm office

I think I tried the Alpha Industries re-issue a while back and it was way too shiny and still pretty puffy.
