Alpha Industries is the right pick if the jacket you want is an MA-1 bomber in leather. The MA-1 Leather Bomber Jacket costs $500 and is made from genuine Napa leather with a 100% polyester lining and poly-fill insulation. It keeps the MA-1 details: a center front zip with zig-zag stitching, two welt pockets, an inside pocket and the sleeve utility pocket with the red ribbon. Alpha calls the fit oversized. An espresso version was on sale at $315 instead of $450 when we checked, and the B-3 Sherpa leather jacket costs $1,300 for cold weather. Shipping is free over $99. The leather range is small, the search mixes in $200 faux leather MA-1s, and the product page does not state the country of manufacture, so it gives less to check than the heritage makers above it.
