Alpha Industries MA-1 USAF Bomber Jacket

Introduced in the early 1950’s, the MA-1 became the classic flight jacket of the jet age. Designed for use in Cold Weather Climates (20F), MA-1 featured 100% wool knit collar, waistband and cuffs. Other features included a tab that the oxygen mask was clipped to, tabs to hold headset wires and the original U.S. Air Force decal.

True to the details of the original, Alpha Industries has carefully recreated this flying classic. This water-repellent MA-1 Flight Jacket is one of the authentic reproductions in Alpha Industries Vintage Series.

Travel back to 1959. Knoxville, Tennessee. The United States Department of Defence recruits Alpha to revamp its military jacket. Why? Because as the jet age takes flight to greater heights and ground troops encounter trickier terrain, the technological needs and real-life demands of our soldiers change. Simply put, but not simply achieved, Alpha re-engineers outdated designs. As better fabrics are developed and tested, Alpha makes better jackets for our soldiers-better designed, better produced, and more reliable. Alpha garments are ranked as warmer, more comfortable, and designed to meet any climatic challenge or test of time.

Today, Alpha Industries is not only a global enterprise, manufacturing and selling its products throughout the world, but also the premier supplier of jackets for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Army, and Marine Corps. Alpha sets the standard as a leader in cutting-edge outerwear design. From flight decks to civilian sidewalks, Alpha stands on the front lines of quality and fashion, as a testament to innovation, creativity and manufacturing know-how. The honest truth is that Alpha is tried, and tested, and proven.
