Love that bomber jacket. I've never understood why some bomber jackets these days are so long and slim fit, because originally they're supposed to be boxy fit!
Exactly! I was having a hard time finding one that fits like the classic. Thanks for watching 😊
As a history buff, this stuff is right up my alley. Looks clean and love the cropped look.
Love to hear it! Thanks for watching
So glad you found what you love!
Neat history lesson James, jacket looks rad.
Always had a hard time getting into bomber jackets, precisely because of how they would try to "modernise" the fit, so I've just never had a proper boxy fit one.
My only hang up is the funnel neck, always prefer a point collar to tbh.
I think there's something to be said for anything with a degree of legacy, a story to tell; be that the original history, the origin, the aspects that move you. [getting it for the price you did was fab as well]. Definitely a conversation starter in a coffee shop, or a day out .. and that's aces.
I must admit I love things like that in general. I've fallen way into the films of Stuart Gordon, as well as 60's Spaghetti Westerns. The history of Barber Beats landed on my doorstep and a video on here called 'The Controversial Music Genre of Barber Beats' by Pad Chennington was a fab primer for what's been another ace rabbit hole.
Beautiful. Great choice James. Ive never actually bout one but I've been very tempted more than once
Thank you! I’ve had my eye on one for a long time now. Glad I finally got it!
I want that jacket since I watched Tim Roger's review of Cyberpunk 2077
He has great taste!
That jacket looks beautiful. I’ve been on the same search for the perfect bomber and 100% agree with you about the Alpha Industries jackets.
Thank you mate!! I’ve been looking for years, finally happy!
Love this so much, I was just looking at OG MA-1 to find something better. Seeing that fit on you has me searching grail. Awesome stuff
Love to hear it man! Let me know if you get one 🙌
Bought one of these 3 years ago, and it's my most worn piece.
Love to hear it! Which version did you get?
@@JamesLeung Same as you, with the longer pull tab, just in a large.
Looks great, you will enjoy it for many years.
Thank you! 🙏
That jacket looks great 👍🏻 I have a vintage original Alpha ma1 & yes they are nothing like Alpha turns out today . Great video 👍🏻
definitely think Harry and James click upload button together
They have acknowledged this many times.
whilst having breakfast in bed?
How many times do you people have to say this lmao
nice review of the excellent jacket. I have the RMC one
Lovely! I was looking at that one as well but it seems to be more rare.
I got mine for less than 70 pounds second hand in a vintage store in Toyko! Very good condition, love the fit and the warmth.
Fanatic deal!! I love it so much
Always like to discover brands I'd never heard of before. I'm a bit surprised about the newer Alpha jackets fitting longer than the older ones. I must have been lucky, maybe I got an old stock one since it was in the sale, and in an unusual colour that I hadn;t seen anywhere else - I'm only 5ft 5 and mine sits at the top of my hip bones. It's 'puffy' - not like the ones in the picture shown here. And It's also lasted very well for me. Pity about these new ones; I did think abut doubling up because I love mine so much, but I probably won't now.
As ever, an illuminating video, & love those details on your jacket btw 👍
Yeah the older ones are perfect especially the made in USA ones. You must have got one of those! Sounds like a great pick up. Thanks for watching mate!
Buzz Rickson is absolutely the best on the market. I own a quite few of them including B15D . Best jackets I've ever had.
Great to hear!
Cool jacket and nice video.
I'm waiting for a MA2 bomber style. I'll check Buzz's website for that style. Collar or no collar, sometimes that matters depending on body shapes
I’m not sure if they make those, worth having a look!
The very best version is the William Gibson collection Buzz Ricksons MA1. Perfection.
It look so nice! I wanted the green colour
Nice fit 👍
Love Buzz Rickson’s 👍
Hope I can get more from them!
@@JamesLeung I live in their 40s/50s style sweats and chinos. Recently picked up some Vietnam era combats too and loving those. I go to American Classics in London to buy, I find sizing is quirky so prefer to try on rather than buy online. Hope you manage to obtain more pieces.. I fancy one of their tanker jackets as an MA1 alternative.
Cheers
Eddie
Love the brown trousers where are they from?
I really want the William Gibson edition of the jacket, fantastic story behind it
Yes I love that one!
Very good vidoe mate
Some nice jackets mate 👍
Thanks mate!
Hey man, I am looking to buy on…saw one for decent price…. It’s a size M, I normally wear M, I am 5ft6 75kg, do you recon it will fit? Thanks man
I thrifted a bomber from rothco for like 30$, it retails for 65 and is super warm and insulated. Definitely a good affordable option if you don't care about it being a 1:1 high quality replica.
Sounds great!
Great video, James! Did you get the Buzz Rickson's LION UNIFORM INC MA-1? The one that appears on Buzz Rickson's site as 'MA-1 Slender'? I was wondering if you could assist me on the sizing: I'm 180cm, 71kg, athletic build, should I get a Medium or a Large? Thanks :)
No I don’t believe this is the slender version. Sounds like you’re a bit heavier and taller than me so I’d try a large! Just keep in mind it is very short
That UFC card yesterday was peak. Hope you watched it.
Watched the whole thing, crazy card!
I was also looking at the alpha industries one until i saw a guy in my local pub this christmas just past. I've always thought bomber jackets have a little puff to them but this alpha industries one that i saw looked flat. so i decided to leave it.
Yep they do look flat, it’s strange!
Hey mate, where would you recommend buying thick crew neck knits, kinda like the one you are wearing in the video? cheers.
Mine is from wings of liberty but I’ve seen them in Weekday and COS. Also vintage military ones on eBay 👍
I think the bomber jacket suits your body shape. You look pretty sick !
Thanks so much!!
So sick ❤. What size did u go with?
I went with medium, it’s perfect!
Wow I had no idea how much the Alpha Industries bombers had changed. The modern design looks terrible, same cut as asos or Primark...
Bagging one of these for £150 is nuts, sounds like you had a stroke of luck there
Yes that’s what I was thinking! I got very lucky, I always wait around for a bargain haha
reminds me of the travis bickle outfit
what’s your opinion on the h&m heron bomber jacket?
It’s a little bit busy looking for me but the fit looks nice 👌
Buying a story I get to continue adding to for $100 makes more sense to me.
You got an amazing deal, or companies are screwing us on their prices when we buy it local. Probably the latter.
I love that way of thinking! Yep you’re probably right! Thanks for watching
Real McCoy also do stunning ones
Yes they look lovely!
That’s a really nice outfit. Also are you taking suggestions for outfits to wear?
Thanks! Yes definitely 👍
@@JamesLeung How can I suggest them?
My ideal bomber is the one made by hyein seo. Truly 10/10. But i'm too broke to buy it.
That one is hella nice!!
5'10" 140lb. Right. Been a while. 😎
Military clothing always has little details that are just useful, even if not for the original purpose. Just wish it had more flattering cuts and wasn't too overtly military.
Agreed!
Do you still have your Represent Bomber jacket?
Nah that’s long gone!
Whats the sweater your wearing james
It’s from wings of liberty 👍
@@JamesLeung cheers
How you guess your size buying from eBay
I asked the seller for the exact measurements 👍
Shame about alpha industries, I've an older one of their parkas that fits a lot closer to the original design and it's great
This brand makes quality pieces but don’t seem to get much attention
Yeah true, maybe because it can be difficult to get hold of in the US/UK.
can I get your height and weight?
5ft 10, 140lbs
I wish we stop lumping Harry and James together as one entity. The meme has been overdone to death and the other dude is insufferable to listen to and looks awful in his outfits. James videos are detailed and well explained and I think he would prefer his own identity and recognition of his own work.
