This is a real MA-1 jacket. I bought it from a used clothing store about a year ago. However, I'm selling it because my style of clothing has changed. According to the store clerk, this patch was added as a commemorative item after the jacket was retired. There's a slight pull, possibly due to the flag patch on the right shoulder. There are some minor tears in the ribbing, but they aren't completely torn and I don't mind them. If you don't mind them either, please consider buying it! The markings are a bit unclear, but it appears to be from 1971 or 1972. Actual Measurements: Shoulder width: 48cm Body width: 55cm Sleeve length: 58cm (including ribbing) Length: 61cm (including collar) Please purchase only if you understand that this is a used item.
