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 Simply put, but not simply achieved, Alpha reengineered outdated designs.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.
1959年成立的美国阿尔法工业(Alpha Industries)公司已生产了超过4千万件正式装备美军的各类军服，是美国本土最大的军用被服制造商之一。这样的成绩得益于优秀的设计以及精良的做工。阿尔法工业公司的军用服装龙头老大地位得来并非浪得虚名。
除了生产制式军服外，阿尔法工业公司还面向军迷生产军版民品，即按照军品的款式设计，采用军品的材料加工，甚至与军品同一条生产线生产，但却是面向广大军迷发售的类军用品。这种由正规军服生产厂家生产的真正的军版民品在具有军品品质的同时，也具有比正规军品更加容易让市场接受的价位，是绝非一般的仿制品所能企及的，这也是阿尔法工业公司军版民品服装在军品市场上大行其道的重要原因。本文展示的几款航空服就是阿尔法公司以美军原版军品为基础，进行改进设计而实用性更加突出的军版民品航空服。当然，大名鼎鼎的M-65风衣则就是阿尔法公司自行设计生产的不朽传奇了。
如今已成为美军最大的飞行夹克与军用风衣供应商。许多美军空军夹克设计与生产上的革新，都起源于Alpha的设计生产队伍。今天，Alpha Industries已是世界领先的飞行装备品牌，深受人们信赖。
早在第一次世界大战以前，海军呢大衣就被美国海军采用而且一直沿用至今。它严格按照军规标准生产，集流行与实用为一体，同时其卓越的保暖性能与典雅的仿古风格使它成为一代又一代人所追求的经典外套。
