WTB MA-1 Bomber 38-40

[jahwick79]

Hey all, looking to purchase an MA-1 bomber jacket, I'm 5'7 with a 40" chest . Im in the US. Love the RM's and Buzz Ricksons, being in the states I've never seen them in any store, even in NYC(maybe not lookin gin the right places). Not a fan of Avirex or Alpha Ind. Im open to what's out there, I always check Grailed and Ebay so this is the next Option. Thanks everyone

Standard and Strange carries RMC, and Blue in Green and Self Edge carry Buzz Rickson. Both have NY locations. You can check and see whether they carry MA-1.

S&S have no sizes, been there a few times, crazy store. I'll check out Self Edge. Thank you

Keep in mind that none of the jackets in the attached photo is a MA-1. Maybe if you find out which version is more appealing you will maybe find the right brands/shops.

The photo was not for the purpose of showing the jacket I’m looking for. Thanks for the thought.

You'll pay a massive markup going through Self Edge. In fact I witnessed them cutting the price part off of the Buzz Rickson's and Sugar Cane tags, presumably to hide their markup from buyers who don't know better.

If you want to buy from a US-based dealer, go with History Preservation. They stock a wide range, were BR's original stockist in the US, and their sizing write-ups are pure gold. (If you need further help you can always call them and the owner will talk you through the best size choice.)
