I have had 4 different original MA-1s since summer plus a Buzz Lion. My original 1968 Alpha and my Sportmasters 1969 both have the thickest nylon- I thought this was a fluke when I just had the Alpha which was old and dirty (I thought the sun and dirt made it magically get thicker) but the Sportmasters is almost mint and it also has very thick stiff and new nylon. I have a 1969 Satellite which is almost mint and it has definitely softer and seemingly thinner nylon- it almost justifies the thinner nylon on the Buzz Rickson Lion Uniform copy. My Alpha 1974 "E" model also had this same thinner nylon which is also basically like the nylon used in the Alpha Replica and Vintage series. Anyone else notice this? I feel it makes the Alpha "D" model from the mid-Sixties kind of the ultimate MA-1- with the thick nylon and beautiful pattern. Anyway- just some thoughts...
