The iconic military jackets brought this all American brand to the forefront. I’m talking about the Alpha Industries. The long running brand was appointed personally by The United States Department of Defense to design jackets for soldiers during harsh weather conditions.
Fashion experts began to take notice of the jackets that were designed by Alpha Industries. Proven to be popular the “military” style made it’s transition over to the fashion scene. We’ve seen countless designers over the years incorporate army designs into their designs. Take Marc Jocabs, Army Hoody for example.

DYK: Did you know that in order to for Alpha Industries to keep their factories operating and keep using materials used to designs, they had to create a replacement label with three single black bars? With the labels they were able to differentiate the ones being used in the army versus the ones being sold in surplus stores.
Key collections sold under Alpha Industries include jackets, shirts, shorts, and pants.
The Custom T-shirt is part of Alpha Industries Spring/Summer 09 Collection. On the front it reads: Remove From Flight. Material used for the custom tee: Super-soft distressed cotton.
The Patch Polo ranges up to a 3XL. The cotton polo is avaliable in three different colors: White, Sage, and Sky.
The real highlights from the over Spring/Summer 09 is the jackets, which is no surprise.
The Arlington Jacket comes in a green, the body of the jacket has four exterior pockets with a zipper and hood.
The Slider Jacket(front) is sleek and light enough to wear for the spring season. Colors: Gunmetal and Nylon.

Alpha Industries Flight Jackets are some of the best jackets in the world. They prices aren’t as high as the Marc Jacobs you talked about, and that’s what makes them so great. Because they are couture.
