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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
Beautiful bomber. The fit is perfect. Glad I went with this brand. Quality is excellent.
I bought the coat to wear for a specific event and was expecting it to be a bit of a throwaway at that price. I received it today and I’m shocked. It feels really durable and will be much warmer than I expected. The size guide was bang on and it fits great. This is an incredible deal for such a quality piece. Very happy.
There are very few companies in whom you can place total trust in the quality of their products. Schott is one of them. You might look at the image of this jacket and think it's a nice, light nylon jacket, but it is anything but. It's a really substantial piece of work that can function as an early winter jacket, even here in New England. Stylish and functional with a perfect fit, this is a bargain at $168.
