27" Nylon flight satin MA-1 jacket with tonal Schott embroidery on left arm.
Water Resistant Shell
Updated Fit from Military MA-1s for Style and Comfort
The MA-1 bomber jacket 9628 was first introduced in the 1950's, but you could say that it's history goes back to 1935 when Dupont introduced synthetic thermoplastic polymer fiber that was used to create the first ever NYLON fabric. This revolutionary fabric was originally created for the U.S. Military. THe U.S. Military first used it for parachutes, but soon it was put to use in many ways, including Flight Jackets.
In the 1930s Military Pilots wore leather jackets, in the late 40's these aviators began wearing insulated jackets made of dense cotton, but by the 1950's U.S.A.F. Pilots were flying missions wearing the first ever issued NYLON Flight Satin MA-1's.

GREAT JACKET, SUPER WARM
this jacket is great. The ONLY thing to consider…for me at least, you gotta size down. It fits how a flight jacket should, but if you want it to be a touch more form fitting. Go down. Ive never been a small in anything….until I exchanged this jacket for one. That said. I love it. Could still wear it with a hoodie and get you through the entire NY winter i believe
BLACK BOMBER JACKET MEDIUM
Very nice jacket, I don't like that you can't dry it in a dryer. Wish the pockets were a little deeper. Overall I would buy it again.
HEAVY DUTY JACKET
Selected black - awesome look with orange lining. Shell is thick nylon with typical heavy duty Schott zippers. Well-constructed jacket. Fit perfectly based on sizing guide.
MEN'S NYLON FLIGHT JACKET STYLE: 9628
Great jacket, nice fit and excellent quality. If you like the aviator style of jacket, don’t hesitate, Schott makes a beautiful one!
I used to have an Alpha Industries that I never liked the fit of. It was too short in the body length and sleeves. The Schott is perfect in all aspects.
I’m 6’, 185 lbs, 42” chest with an average build. The Fit Guide put me in a size Large, which is bang on. It gives me room to wear a hoodie underneath in colder weather—or I can just wear it with a shirt, and it still fits and looks great.
This is my 4th Schott—141; 100; 515V; and now the 9628. These guys just make great products.
MORE GREAT QUALITY FROM SCHOTT
I continue to be amazed by both the quality and value of Schott products! Both the fit and quality of this jacket are amazing, and—like every Schott item I’ve purchased in the past—it completely exceeded my expectations. Couple this with the fact that comparable jackets seem to be more expensive and for lesser quality, this item is a must-buy if you’re looking for this type of thing.
ANOTHER WINNER FROM SCHOTT
I previously purchased a leather jacket from Schott, as well as a pea coat shirt/jacket. So, I knew the quality would be worth the price. Sure enough, I received the Nylon Flight Jacket soon after placing the order. You can normally tell when you put something on whether it is well-made. That was the case here. It's warm enough, fits great, and it looks good on me.
My only complaint is that the weather is warming up, and I may not get that much use out of the jacket until autumn. Hahaha. Thanks, Schott, I love the jacket!
VERY PLEASED
This was definitely the right choice to make for me. I purchased the black version. Love the gunmetal color zipper versus brass or even chrome. Looks great. Schott must have updated the fit from the older versions because even though it has *somewhat puffy sleeves the rest of the jacket hugs my slim 5'10" 155lb 38" chest better than the older non slim versions.
Also fabric is more matte looking versus shiny which IMO makes it look more attractive .
Quality is totally worth the asking price .
It is a no brainer purchase if looking for this type of jacket. Don't think twice just buy it.
EXCELLENT FIT, NICE WEIGHT, AND HAS AN INSIDE POCKET!
I am very pleased with the fit and quality of the jacket. It's not lightweight at all. Very warm! I can confirm that the current model now has the interior pocket (with snap closure) mentioned in another review's response. I think the cuffs could be just a little more snug fitting but that's the only thing I'd change. I've worn the jacket in 30° temperatures so far and remained comfortably warm. I've tried on Alpha Industries MA-1 jackets and was very unhappy with the fit but this one was perfect. There's also Buzz Rickson but the price on those is astronomical. For the price the Schott MA-1 seems like a very good buy. If I need another one or another color in the future I would go with Schott before any others. I ordered a size L and I'm 5'11, 195 lbs, average build.
BEST QUALITY ON THE MARKET
I was looking for a flight jacket like I remember buying in the late 80s early 90s. All of the new brands are total trash. In 1988 an ma-1 cost about $100. Today a rothco is $60. You can imagine that quality is sacrificed for price. I searched and searched and. I actually bought a rothco, but the quality is so bad. This is the jacket I remember buying.! The inside is a shiny silky orange just like the old vietnam era jackets I remember getting. Worth every penny. This is the jacket you want! Dont think about it , get it!
EXCELLENT!!
Beautiful bomber. The fit is perfect. Glad I went with this brand. Quality is excellent.
