About

The Alpha Industries MA-1 is a classic military-inspired bomber jacket renowned for its durability and timeless design. Originally introduced to the U.S. military in 1949, it was designed for U.S. Air Force pilots, evolving from its predecessor, the B-15 flight jacket. The MA-1 features a water-resistant nylon shell, wool blend knit collar, cuffs, and waistband, ensuring both functionality and comfort. It includes two front welt pockets with snap closure and two interior pockets for secure storage. The iconic utility pocket on the sleeve adds an extra layer of practicality. The MA-1 is also reversible, featuring a bright orange lining that was originally intended to increase visibility for downed pilots. This reversible design allows wearers to easily change their look, adding a bold contrast to any outfit. Available in various colors, including sage green and midnight blue, the MA-1 has become a staple in both military and fashion circles, embraced by subcultures and style icons alike. Its versatility and iconic design make it a timeless piece suitable for both casual and stylish occasions.
