To be honest, I had only received it a few days before. I can say they run small, so I went up a size and they fit perfectly.br>The material is nylon with a polyester fiber fill. With the exception of my Levi Denim, the tag says "Dry Clean Only." I've never machine washed any jacket or coat I've owned. br>To put it another way, I would follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions to avoid ruining the jacket's finish or ruining the jacket's finish by washing and drying it. br>I understand that this isn't the response you're looking for. I did, however, respond as soon as I was able.
I don't have it with me right now, but it appears to have two large outside pockets and one inside pocket on the left side.
When ordering your jacket, make sure to follow the size chart because they run small and tight. Order a Small if you typically wear an XS. Use the chart to determine your size.
Selected User Reviews For Alpha Industries Men's CWU 45/P Flight Jacket
br>While the style and overall appearance of this flight jacket are appealing, the stitching and craftsmanship are subpar for a $90 jacket. Because it's made in China, the sewing quality is likely to be poor. The "Remove Before Flight" sleeve ribbon is a low-cost stenciled copy of the cotton embroidery product that can be purchased separately on Amazon. br>br>The nylon fabric was badly wrinkled, as if it had been stored wadded up and stacked on top of each other in its plastic bag. I suppose "steaming" the fabric would remove the wrinkles, but for $90, I expected fewer wrinkles and not to be rolled up and stuffed into a box. The jacket, in my opinion, is worth $40 to $50, but not $90, especially given the poor stitching. Please take a look at the photos that have been attached.
a pair of leather I bought a copy of the CWU- Because the landing leathers A- were no longer available, the 45P was repurposed to serve in colder weather. 2 isn't designed for extremely cold temperatures, and while leather is great for wind, it doesn't work well in the cold. The jacket's website claims it can withstand temperatures up to 25 degrees, but I've been wearing it in temperatures much lower than that. I'm in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and it's 12 degrees outside. The CWU- The 45P is also the second most popular "bomber jacket" currently available to civilians (the A-). The most popular option is number two). It's still a problem for USN, USMC, and USAF pilots. I'm not sure about Army aviation, but I imagine they'd follow suit. The Mil-spec version is made of fire-resistant nomex, but are we really going to need it to go to the store? I don't believe so. Now on to the jacket itself, I have a few nylon jackets and this is by far the best of them all. It's heavy grade and very smooth (it reminds me of nomex) the only drawback is that it's shorter than it appears (not that I find that a bad thing for work). The second thing that will surprise you is that there are no slash handwarmer pockets (the A2 has them) there were some minor stitching issues (not uncommon these days) the tag is Velcro I'm 65, too. I got the CWU to add to my collection of USAF patches, and I'm hoping to use it to display my Aliens colonial marine corps patches on the M-47. 65 Keep an eye out for new information.
Also, the zipper does not operate as smoothly as one would expect on a jacket of this price. Be aware that the Alpha logo is embroidered on the Velcro patch sewn to the jacket, so if you don't have a name tag, you will be advertising for the company.
The functionality and build quality are both satisfactory. This was, however, required for a Civil Air Patrol uniform jacket. Because the civil air patrol is a civilian auxiliary to the United States Air Force, it must adhere to stringent uniform standards. CWU-Navy is the color we use. MA-45p and As a flight jacket, we have only one. It's a blue green jacket, not a navy one. It's the same color as shown in the photo. Other reviews claimed that the picture was incorrect and that the jacket was navy, but this is not the case; the jacket is very green.
Fantastic quality, perfect fit, epic jacket. br>It's time to make some changes. I've had it for about a month and a half. I adore this jacket and take great care to maintain its appearance by not overstretching it while wearing it and properly removing it. However, I noticed yesterday that the stitching was separating in two places under the right arm. I sewed it up to keep it from separating any further, but today I noticed it's doing the same thing under my left arm in two places. I'm not sure if this is typical, as the quality of the jacket is far superior to that of other jackets. Simply put, I'm depressed.
This jacket has made a big impression on me. It's in place of the one I had in the Air Force. This replica is well-made and fits exactly like the real thing. BUT! You should order a size up from your regular size.
I ordered the 2XL because I am 6'1" and 235 pounds. The sleeves are the perfect length and there is plenty of shoulder room. I could've gone up a size, but the sleeves would've been too long. The temperature is in the low 40s and it is windy as we begin our day. It's a very warm jacket. There will be no disappointments.
The 45p flight jacket from Alpha Industries transports me back to my Marine Corps days, and let me tell you, it feels great. The jacket is a perfect fit, and with the Marine Corps baseball cap and this jacket, all I can say is once a Marine, always a Marine. Thank you Amazon and Alpha Industries.
