About the Brand
Founded in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1959, Alpha Industries began producing the MA-1 flight jacket for the U.S. Department of Defense in 1963. The company’s roots go back to 1948, when Robert Lane founded Superior Togs Corporation to make flight jackets for the military. Over the decades, Alpha has outfitted American servicemembers with the MA-1, M-65, and N-3B. After the Vietnam War, inexpensive surplus MA-1s filled Army/Navy stores nationwide, giving the jacket a second life as a civilian classic. Today, Alpha makes authentic reproductions of the gear it once supplied to the U.S. military.
