2 Alpha Industries, Inc.
american heritageInitially as a contractor to the United States military, Alpha successfully transitioned to a commerical fashion
enterprise equally at home in the civilian marketplace as the defense establishment.
HistoryAlpha Industries began in October, 1959
by completing existing Dobbs Industries’
subcontracts for Rolen Sportswear and
Dobbs’ government contracts for raincoats
and flight jackets. By December 1959, Alpha
obtained its first U.S. Defense Department
contracts to manufacture N-3B Air Force
parkas and a U.S. Navy shipboard shirts.
Although unknown to Alpha’s management
and most other Americans at that time, the
on rushing events in Southeast Asia would
lead to the Vietnam War and a virtual tidal
wave of DOD contracts thereby assuring
Alpha’s future success.

Iconic jacketsDuring the 1960’s, Alpha emerged as the dominant manufacturer of several
styles that subsequently became iconic pieces of American clothing fashion.
The most famous of these were nylon flight jackets like the MA-1 flight jacket,
and the M-51 and M-65 field jackets. The MA-1 and other nylon fight jackets
were issued to all U.S. Air Force and Naval Aviation pilots. The M-51 field
jacket and its 1965 replacement, the M-65 field jacket were issued to most
Army and Marine Corps personnel and to substantial numbers of Air Force
servicemen and servicewomen.
government and commercial labelsLabels for U.S. Government contracts required either one solid line or no lines to separate the care label
information from the item identification information. Alpha inserted 3 lines on labels of commercial clothing to
easily distinguish it from U.S. Government garments.

The most recognizable flight jacket in military aviation history. The MA-1, commonly
known as the bomber jacket was designed by the Air Force to serve as an
intermediate-weight jacket for use all year. The first MA-1 jackets were issued
around 1949 to United States Air Force, Navy pilots and flight crews. Manufactured
from high quality nylon fabrics and polyester interlinings. The light weight design
allowed the pilot in warm weather to wear the jacket open and be comfortable.
Upon entering the aircraft, the pilot could zip it closed and have protection against
the cold conditions encountered flying at high altitudes and cold temperatures.

Alpha Industries MA-1 flight jacket with “Blood Chit” sewn
on the lining. “Blood Chits” were a type of flag issued to U.S.
Air Crews to aid their survival if they were shot down over
enemy territory. The Blood Chit contained a message in several
languages identifying the airman as U.S. aviator and requesting
help in avoiding capture and being returned safely to U.S.
forces. A reward was offered for such assistance.

The CWU 45/P flight jacket is ideal for those seeking
durable construction, warmth, and authenticity. The
CWU 45/P jacket features a water repellent nylon
outer shell, paired with two layered quilted nylon/poly
interlinings. The knit cuffs, waistband, and front zipper
closure with storm flap ensure that you’ll stay warm
and dry for the duration. The CWU 45/P flight jacket is
still issued to USAF and Navy pilots today.

In 1945, the U.S. Army Air Force issued the Jacket-
Aircrew-Heavy-Type N-3, the first of a long line of very
successful N-3 style parkas. The N-3 evolved into the
N-3B by 1958, described as “for aircrew members
in extremely cold environments.” This Snorkel Parka
features reinforced elbow patches, a full-length storm
flap and inset knit cuffs for durability and protection
against the elements. The nylon outer shell/polyester
interlining ensures that no cold air seeps in. The hood
is lined and trimmed with synthetic fur, complete with
adjustable draw-cord strap.

Introduced into U.S. military service in 1965, the
M-65 field jacket was issued to soldiers during
the Vietnam war. It became useful for troops
serving in the central highlands of South Vietnam,
as well as keeping a soldier warm from the cool
weather conditions that came after monsoonal
rains. The M-65 jacket’s bi-swing back ensures
unrestrained movement.

The U.S. Army M-65 Fishtail Parka, also known as M-1965 Parka is
an extreme cold weather parka that has become a long-time favorite
among the U.S. Army’s cold weather troops. It provides exceptional
chill-chasing WARMTH. Fishtail nickname comes from the tail-
cinching drawstrings around each leg which can be snugged tight to
keep the cold out. The M-1965 fishtail parka was developed in 1965
and the M simply stands for Military.

The pea coat was first worn in the 18th century by sailors
of American and European navies. Originally, the coats
were made of a heavy twill cloth called pilot cloth or
P-cloth. The garments made from this material were called
P-jackets, which later became P-coats. This heavy coarse
fabric protected sailors in bad weather. Structurally, a
pea coat is recognizable by its wide lapels, large buttons
and vertical pockets. Pea coats are double breasted and
traditionally fall at the mid-thigh. The original pea coat was
so heavy that it featured a metal chain at the neckline,
which was used to hang it.
