It’s since a year or more that we see the signs of the great return of the classic bomber. The flight jacket, one that has proliferated in the 90s has 2 names. Schott and Alpha Industries. And if anybody had doubts about the return, to give a nice boost there was also Marcelo Burlon, authentic trend setter, who with his own line is dictating fashion in streetwear deluxe. Marcelo, a lover of the total black look, chose the classic bomber Alpha, the model MA-1, unmistakable, with its orange lining, zip pocket on the sleeve with attached red tie with the word ‘Remove Before Flight’ that show back to the origins of the bomber as a garment for aviators.
Alpha Industries was founded in 1959 in Knoxville in Tennessee, with a small company specializing in military garments. It was a period of peace and the Army bought only small quantities of products, so the company took only a few workers. Took the quality of the products jumped in the eyes of the defense ministry that began to commission Alpha quantities of supplies increasingly important in view of the war in Vietnam.
Today, Alpha remains one of the most important names of the outdoor military-inspired clothing, tested throughout the world for quality and durability, and can also influence the fashion system.
Bombers Alpha Industries, are now arrived at the price of 159 € for the classics and 199 for the limited version with patches and effect ‘used’ on Superfly Deluxe.
