Pre-orders open at 1:00 PM on Thursday, August 27, 2026, through the Premium Bandai online store, with general release at STRICT-G stores starting Saturday, October 24, 2026. The jackets were popular models first released in the 2024 SS season, and the design has been renewed for this productization. The LIGHT MA-1 is based on the L-2B light-zone flight jacket introduced in 1945 as the successor to the A-2, with the padding removed from the MA-1 and redesigned for a clean, modern silhouette. ALPHA INDUSTRIES is a military brand founded in 1959 that has served as a contractor for the U.S. military. Each jacket is priced at 46,200 yen including tax, available in sizes S to 2XL, and made with a 100% nylon outer fabric. Sales run until 11:00 PM on Sunday, September 13, 2026, with shipping scheduled for October 2026.","whyItMatters":"The renewed release turns a 2024 seasonal hit into a permanent lineup item, a pattern STRICT-G uses to keep its collaboration catalog fresh without introducing a new design.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoth jackets use cowhide leather parts and 100% polyester embroidery thread, details the summary did not mention.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe lining is 100% polyester, and the ribbing at the cuffs is 100% polyester while the collar and hem run 99% polyester with 1% polyurethane.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePocket lining differs from the rest: outer layer is 100% cotton, inner layer is 80% polyester and 20% cotton.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlanning credit goes to Bandai, listed separately from ALPHA INDUSTRIES as the manufacturing brand.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe material texture carries a moderate matte finish, and the jackets are described as light and easy to wear across a wide range of seasons.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDengeki Hobby Web notes the release may sell outside Japan, and that sales can end early if the prepared quantity is reached.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSTRICT-G opened its first two stores in April 2012, Gundam Front Tokyo Store and NEOPASA Shizuoka Store, and now operates four domestic locations.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGeneral release happens at four stores: Tokyo Odaiba, Tokyo Solamachi, NEOPASA Shizuoka (down line), and Taga SA (down line), all with individual business hours.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhotos shown are of products under development and may differ from the actual product, per the source.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoth jackets are offered in sizes S through 2XL at 46,200 yen including tax.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The renewed Amuro Ray and Char Aznable LIGHT MA-1 jackets from STRICT-G swap the MA-1's padding for the L-2B's clean silhouette.
