Collection: Alpha Industries

The story of Alpha Industries begins in 1959 in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Samuel Gelber founded the company to produce high-quality military clothing for the US Department of Defense. As an official supplier, Alpha Industries developed functional jackets for pilots and soldiers who had to withstand extreme conditions. Especially the combination of durable materials, well-thought-out functionality, and maximum resilience quickly made the products indispensable in military use. What was once designed for the air force evolved over the decades into a staple of modern streetwear. The authentic military origin still shapes the brand today and makes Alpha Industries a worldwide symbol for sturdy jackets, uncompromising quality, and urban lifestyle.

MA-1 Bomber Jacket – the Icon of Alpha Industries

With the legendary MA-1 bomber jacket, Alpha Industries set new standards and created one of the most well-known jackets in the world. Originally developed for jet pilots, the MA-1 impresses with windproof nylon, functional padding, and elastic cuffs for optimal protection. The distinctive orange lining as well as the typical utility pocket with the “Remove Before Flight” tag make the jacket unmistakable. The combination of functionality, comfort, and iconic design quickly made the MA-1 the flagship of the brand and a fixed part of the streetwear scene.

From the Military to Streetwear and Terrace Culture

What began in military cockpits found its way in the 1980s and 1990s onto the streets of international metropolises and into the football and terrace culture of Europe. Alpha Industries developed into one of the most influential brands in the field of bomber jackets and military streetwear. Whether in the stadium, on the street, or in everyday life – the brand stands for authenticity, resilience, and timeless style. With a wide selection of jackets, hooded sweatshirts, T-shirts, and accessories, Alpha Industries still combines military tradition with modern streetwear design and belongs to the most important brands of the urban scene worldwide.
