Military Clothings

Alpha Industries has been the largest supplier of flight jackets for the Air Force, Navy and the Army of the United States of America for over 40 years.

Around 1998 the U.S. government decided to withdraw the contract to many of the companies producing military clothing and flight jackets selling the surplus on the civilian market, including Alpha Industries as well.

Since then, Alpha Industries has become a fashion company producing garments on the “style” and not only military, but without using the military specifications that required the U.S. government anymore. As if this were not enough, Alpha has transferred all its production to China and other Asian countries.

Some years ago, we started a deep research of “old” Alpha Industries items Made in U.S.A. receiving the support of the former Italian Alpha Industries official distributor. He could help us, as it has been distributing these items for over 25 years, until 1997.

Since that moment, the Knoxville Tennessee Alpha Industries products with military-governmental technical specifications have become very rare and hard to find. With time and with much effort we managed to put together a collection of all respect as you can see here:

http://www.modamilitare.com/usa/alpha-industries.html

It is a huge collection of flight jackets produced in Knoxville with government specifications, and other military items manufactured in the USA and also in Italy, because at that time Alpha Industries also produced some of its products in Italy, especially some models for the civilian market, which were produced upon approval Alpha Industries and maintaining the technical military specifications.

Unfortunately, since several months we aren’t anymore able to find almost anything in order to replenish our stock of the most popular flight jackets from Alpha Industries Made in USA, so now some model begins to run low.

I think, and I’m pretty sure that we are the only ones in the world to have a vast assortment of “old” models Alpha Industries Made in USA products for the U.S. military, and I also believe that we will not keep a good stock for a long time, because of the continuous and growing demand we have.

History

Travel back to 1959, Knoxville, Tennessee.  The United States Department of Defense recruited Alpha Industries to revamp its military jacket.  As the jet age took flight to greater heights and ground troops encountered trickier terrain, the technological needs and real-life demands of our soldiers changed.  Simply put, but not simply achieved, Alpha reengineered outdated designs.  As better fabrics were developed and tested, Alpha made better jackets for the troops – better designed, better produced, and more reliable.  Alpha garments were ranked as warmer, more comfortable, more durable and designed to meet any climatic challenge.

Thus, for many decades the DOD awarded contracts to Alpha to manufacture outerwear to protect Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps personnel.  Since the mid-1960’s Alpha has continuously manufactured the M-65 Field Jacket, and we’ve produced virtually every MA-1 Flight Jacket used by US Air Force, Army and Navy pilots.  All told, Alpha Industries has produced over 40 million pieces of military outerwear to perform under the most severe conditions imaginable.

3-Bars Makes All The Difference

When Alpha Industries received a military contract and that contract was fulfilled, “surplus” materials were always left over.  In order to use these materials and keep our factories operating, we continued to make jackets following the strict military specifications.  These additional jackets were sold to surplus stores.  But, for internal purposes we needed to develop a way to separate these jackets from the ones that were actually going to the military.

On jackets shipping to the military the label contained a single black bar separating the identification of the type of jacket and its specifications.  We developed a replacement label to be used for surplus jackets.  The only difference between this and the actual military label was that we put three black bars instead of one.  And, this label was the only difference between these surplus jackets and those that were actually to be worn by military servicemen.  Other contractors also manufactured surplus coats, but they changed to lower grade materials using lighter fabric, thinner insulation, less durable zippers and fasteners.  And they didn’t change the internal labels; their garments still had the single black bar.  Over time, customers at surplus stores began to notice that the jackets with the three bars were the best.  And no wonder; after all, these were the exact same jackets that American pilots and ground crews were wearing at bases around the world.  In fact, if you look closely at the Alpha logo, you’ll see that we integrated these three bars into the mark that has come to symbolize our company and its products.

Going Fashion

Years of manufacturing for the military and selling surplus paved the road for a smooth transition into the commercial fashion market.  At the street level, Alpha was known as the producer of iconic military jackets worn by soldiers who faced extreme danger and harsh conditions.  These products emerged into popular culture and the fashion world because Alpha’s quality and manufacturing expertise had to be superior.   And soon enough Alpha became a distinct fashion brand worldwide, with recognition in American and in major international markets in Europe and Asia. Alpha sets standard as a leader in cutting-edge apparel design. From flight decks to civilian sidewalks, Alpha stands on the frontlines of quality and fashion.  Alpha is tried, tested and proven, and will remain part of the American Culture.

The Bomber B-15 became standard issue to the USAAF after 1943, replacing the venerable A-2. After some initial objections to the change, pilots and aircrews eventually embraced the B-15 and recognized its virtues: it was lighter in weight than a leather jacket (while still being warm) and the fur collar reduced neck chafing while scanning the skies for bogeys.

The Alpha B-15 is a reproduction of the WWII-issue jacket, but is constructed from flight satin nylon with a synthetic fur collar.

Other authentic features include leather oxygen mask retention tabs, headset cord loops, two front slash handwarmer pockets, two inside map pockets, pen-pencil holder on left sleeve, inside wind flap, knit cuffs and waistband, fiberfil insulation, and embroidered “Wing & Star” AAF patch on the left sleeve.

Available in colour Blue, Green and Black.

Hi, My name is Federico Scatizzi, I live in Prato and I created the site www.modamilitare.com in order to sell not only the mythical flight jackets Alpha Industries Made in USA but also other lifestyle brands in the military, like Corinth MFG Made in USA, Union Industries, Desert Storm, NFL – NBA, German military clothing, items for Italian Air Force, jackets, patches and more.

How did I get here? I remember the beginning of my career, and I am thinking back over the road that led me to sell military items around the world. As a matter of fact, on tmy web site I wrote something about it. At the beginning of the story (once upon a time…), I was lucky enough to find a friend, that owned a store full of original military items, which are practically impossible to find elsewhere (in my opinion, some are just unique or very rare). I discovered probably the largest stock of products Alpha Industries “Made in USA” in the world! And from there, the path of Alpha Industries started in Italy and Europe.

You can imagine my joy when I saw that all items in the warehouse were (and still are) absolutely brand new and that they were strictly produced in the United States. These items are reserved for true connoisseurs and true collectors. So I thought that to sell them to friends … then I had a new idea, that is selling using an online store. Even if my friend’s store is large and well stocked, some pieces, colors and sizes are now being phased out.

Therefore, in the case of depletion of some articles, I will notify you via e-mail. And then periodically I will arrange special offers. Indeed, at the opening of the site www.modamilitare.com I thought I’d do something really special, so I reserved for you a discount coupon that brings you a discount of 15%, but only until 31 March. So I suggest you take advantage of it immediately. Here is the coupon, as follows: UTKosP0V

I also thought of doing something for the real unique pieces that I have in stock. Maybe an auction, a contest, I will find a way. These unique pieces are jackets also sold online at 500$, 1000$ even 2000$, because they are the rarest, probably you will find them only here. But that’s another story … I’ll talk later about that. I really want customers like you, and I want to inform you about every event I will arrange for you. I recommend you to receive our newsletter, informing about news and updates on these great products. So if you wish to, you should subscribe to our newsletter, You should look at the bottom of our home page, searching for a box titled “Newsletter”. It ‘just give up your e-mail and press the button “Subscribe”. If you then change your mind, you can unsubscribe whenever you want. However, for now I would like to invite you to exploit this great opportunity and take the advantage of the discount that I have reserved for you. Use this coupon at once: UTKosP0V.

My best wishes.
