Slim fit or normal fit Alpha MA-1?

About to commit, but in two minds... Slim fit looks a lot shorter.

Pic is slim fit.

I copped that exact jacket yesterday, except the collar isn't furry and mine has more Velcro patches. Got it for $7 at a thrift store. Pic related (it's a shitty pic though desu)

Mines an actual air force one so the quality is top notch: fire/cold/wind resistant etc. Pic unrelated unless you're a big guy

kind of shitty that the only options in black are:
shitty alpha industry one for 60USD and probably nice japanese rip off for 500 USD

wtf, is there an in between? made in USA? real fur collar??

pic sort of related // if i wasn't a wimp and didn't just buy a 4th veilance jacket
>>

>>
>>10718861

it's the middle of December and still not even close to jacket weather here. I flew with my dad a few days ago and it was so hot inside I asked him to mess with the air vent levers. he turned off the the avionics master switch by accident. (it was next to a switch labeled FAN HI / LOW).

>good job dad

anyway, everything is in stock including the collabs and the parka that MC death grips wears. anyone here have this stuff? how is the quality, and are there any fit pics with the original MA1?

This is the most /fa/ flight jacket.
>>
>>10718805
>>10718840
Rakuten and eBay have doubled since I got both mine two or 3 yrs back. I prefer the fit and quality of the USA made Alpha MA1 L2A/L2B (lighter weight version)
>>
So what are some good pants/shoes the go with the flight jacket
>>
>>10721279
