PRODUCT DETAILS
In 1959, Alpha Industries was commission by the U.S. Department of Defense to design and manufacture high performance outerwear for the U.S. military. The company quickly became synonymous with developing the iconic MA-1, M-65, and N-3B. Alpha was trusted by soldiers, sailors, and aviators to protect them from the most dire conditions across land, sea, and air. Today, Alpha’s mission is to protect and inspire heroism in all forms by outfitting men and women to realize their limitless potential.
Constructed from mid-weight flight nylon with water resistance, the MA-1 fighter pilot jacket was the first military flight jacket to cross over into civilian fashion. This current version has been kept as close as possible to the classic military specifications.
