Alpha began as a manufacturer for the U.S. Military. For over 40 years, the United States Department of Defense relied on clothing made by Alpha to protect the Air Force, Army, Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Since opening our first factory in 1959, Alpha has continuously manufactured the M-65 Field Coat, fabricating more of these coats than any other company. And, since the mid-1960's, we've manufactured virtually every MA-1 Flight Jacket used by U.S. Air Force, Army and Navy pilots. All told, Alpha Industries has produced over 40 million pieces of military outerwear that have performed under the most severe conditions imaginable.
Soon after it’s founding, Alpha’s legendary jackets found their way into retail stores through government surplus sales or even black market outlets. Long before anyone even knew the name Alpha, consumers recognized Alpha’s trademarked three bar logo as the benchmark for superior quality. In stores throughout the country, customers sought out the jackets with the three bars on the military specifications label. From the streets of virtually every American city, to the streets of Europe and Japan, the Alpha name is known. In fact, at one time a single store in Japan had a waiting list of over 900 people hoping to buy an Alpha jacket. Alpha continues to produce the same quality garments we began making back in 1959, only now, we adjust and modify our products to meet your demands. Alpha continues to be the most sought after authentic brand of military inspired clothing in the world.
