MA-1 Style Flight Jacket from US Cavalry

[Sciuropterus]

I quit wearing flight jackets because of the elastic waist- My wife gently pointed out that they just do not give a flattering profile, especially from behind, they seem to add 10-20 pounds to the midsections of most people who wear them because of way the jacket bulges out above the waist. After seeing some pictures, I had to agree.

Yes they are comfortable, no argument there. I have owned several.

You can get flight/bomber jackets with a straight waist, and they look MUCH better with a kilt (or anything else) than those elastic-waist ones. I plan on getting one of these:

Guess its okay though with those of us with extra large midsections already....

There'd sure be a draft from below after my belly got done stretching out that straight waist jacket....

Looks sharp for them that can wear them though, for sure.

I am glad you said it, I was certainly thinking it. It does not matter what jacket I wear, it is going to look the same.
