USA Made MA-1 Flight Jacket IDEAL Zipper Contract 13000 Rare LARGE Military This is an MA-1 flight jacket. CONTRACT No. 13000 / MADE IN USA / IDEAL zipper specification. Although not made by Alpha Industries, this is a rare piece by a contractor from that time. ■ CONTRACT NO: 13000 This "13000" series was under contract with the DLA (Defense Logistics Agency), and after searching and checking materials, the following two companies have delivery records during that period: 1. Greenbrier Industries, Inc. (around 1984-1986) • The tag's composition and typeface are very similar (especially the position and spacing of "SUPPLY"). • Individuals using IDEAL zippers have been confirmed. • Unlike Alpha, there are also types without the contractor's name on the top of the tag. 2. Rolen Sportswear Co. (around the same time, 13000-14000 series) • Also "MADE IN U.S.A." and "MIL-J-41189J" configuration, but the font of the entire tag tends to be slightly bolder and wider spaced. • Few examples of IDEAL zippers. → The tag in the photo has a thin, condensed font, and it is almost certainly made by Greenbrier Industries. The padding is slightly thin, but it is light and easy to wear, perfect for spring and autumn. Recommended for those who don't like the heavy feel of a typical MA-1. Both the ribbing and zipper are in good condition, and the silhouette remains beautiful. ⸻ 【Size】LARGE (Actual Size) Length: Approximately 61cm Width: Approximately 67cm Shoulder width: Approximately 53cm Sleeve length: Approximately 67cm ⸻ 【Condition】 ・Overall condition is good ・Slight fading on the leather zipper pull on the front ・Small damage at the base of the right pocket (see image) ・Padding is slightly thin (condition for light wear) ・Other ribbing, zippers, and lining are all in good condition ⸻ 【Comment】 Contract No. 13000 has a small distribution, and MA-1s equipped with IDEAL zippers are very rare. A piece with the atmosphere of the time that cannot be reproduced in current replicas. Especially recommended for vintage clothing and military enthusiasts.
