So I wanna buy the MA-1 Flight Jacket, but I do not know which size I should go with. MT or LT.

I'm 6'2-6'3
And my waist is around 33-34 inches
MT is for a waist between 33-35 inches and LT for 36-38.
Do you guys think that MT would be too tight and a little looser LT would be better or is a tight bomber betting fitting?

Bonus question: Which color would you go with? I prefer about the black one.

Buy both, send back the one that doesnt fit.

Buy the other colors, keep the one that works best with your features.

Go to a military surplus store in your area and try it on

Navy
Maroon
Army green
They all go very well with black/gray (let's just assume you been Heather gray)
I own this one

you're fucking giant for an asian. Tall guys in general have trouble with the MA-1 - William Gibson couldn't wear one until he had it custom made cause he's tall and skinny.

6'2-6'3 white here.

always get asked if i'm ex military when i wear any military surplus shit in army/olive green.

tbh i wonder the same when i see other tall people wearing it.

rec. going with an alt. palette unless you don't mind people wondering.

Fuck, now you really made me wanna cop the Navy one but only Black or Sage Green are available in my size

>>10415842
Yea haha, but aren't the MT and LT specifically made for tall people?

>>10416000
Thanks for the advice

>>10417533
Would maybe do but no size for tall people

>>10416054
Which color is that one? It says Sand (GOLD) but Alpha Industries doesn't offer a GOLD one

Sage Green or Black? I think that black might look cheaper but it fits to more stuff

>> No.10417868

If you decide to go with the black one in L, buy it from me. Mint condition. Discount if you tell me you're OP.
