The Alpha Souvenir Jacket captures the style and detail found in a jacket that defines an era. After World War II, American soldiers stationed in Japan brought their jackets to tailor shops and had them embroider Japanese designs on the back of the jackets. This was just as a souvenir. Alpha reintroduced this classic from the past made to the same standards as all of the Alpha classic flight jackets since 1959.
ABOUT Alpha Ind. |
Travel
back to 1959. Knoxville, Tennessee. The United States Department of
Defense recruits Alpha to revamp its military jacket. Why? Because as
the jet age takes flight to greater heights and ground troops encounter
trickier terrain, the technological needs and real-life demands of our
soldiers change. Simply put, but not simply achieved, Alpha re-engineers
outdated designs. As better fabrics are developed and tested, Alpha
makes better jackets for our soldiers-better designed, better produced,
and more reliable. Alpha garments are ranked as warmer, more
comfortable, and designed to meet any climatic challenge or test of
time. Today, Alpha Industries is not only a global enterprise, manufacturing and selling its products throughout the world, but also the premier supplier of jackets for the U.S. Air Force, Navy, Army, and Marine Corps. Alpha sets the standard as a leader in cutting-edge outerwear design. From flight decks to civilian sidewalks, Alpha stands on the frontlines of quality and fashion, as a testament to innovation, creativity and manufacturing know-how. The honest truth is that Alpha is tried, and tested, and proven. And that's where you come in. Now it's your turn to try it out. |
Don't Settle For Less Than An Original |
||
If imitation is the highest form of flattery, Alpha jackets get high praise--we've found knock-offs around the world. So, you need to know how to recognize an original. There are telltale signs to look for. The first, and easiest to find, is the authentic Alpha three-bar logo. There is a tab version of this logo on the sleeve of our flight jackets. Also, look in the pocket of our reversible models and you should find a larger logo patch in there as well. Finally, look at the black-and-white military specification tag. In between the identification of the type of jacket it is and the actual specifications, there will be three solid black bars. Other signs include the feel of the fabric. Fabric for Alpha jackets has a heavy, high-quality feel. Look closely at the seams and you'll notice authentic Alpha jackets have a distinctive pucker, created by following the strict military standards for tear strength at the seam. And our brass zippers will have the word ALPHA and/or our logo on it. |
