In this lineup you’ll find a series of jackets that bring military functionality to today’s silhouettes—from the MA-1 Flight Jacket, a piece that moved from cockpits to city streets, to the CWU-45/P Flight Jacket, which is built from advanced fire-resistant materials. Cold-weather icons like the N-2B Parka and the N-3B also stand out, each created to withstand extreme conditions. Together, these garments tell the story of Alpha Industries’ precision, durability, and cultural impact with outerwear that has remained essential for more than half a century.
