alpha industries. the best jacket of all

It  happen sometimes that some people call me wondering why there are differences in jackets called AlphaIndustries made in the USA with jackets of the same model or the same color.


I clarify this point.

It happens that there are differences in certain articles of the same model and sometimes even in the same colour because whenever the American aerospace, rather than the army or the Navy,start  asking for an  Alpha Industries jacket  a change is very possible, this is true  also for the civilian market.

Alpha Industries produced on the same production line  for the US armed forces and the civilian market. The latter had just one step further, the application of labels with the mark Alpha Industries.

Alpha Industries producing jackets with certain specifications required by the American Government, and these characteristics were therefore the same for the jackets intended for the civilian market.

If the needs of soldiers or pilots USA changed over time and the American Government called for changes to a particular model of jacket or clothing, these characteristics changed for jackets or clothing intended for the civilian market.

For example the bomber B-15 was produced with the fixed neck, and later with the detachable neck. The M-65 Field jacket in khaki (especially) was produced with various types of fabrics in cotton or cotton/polyester fabric in various ponderousness, the Field jacket Blue color changed various shades of Blue navy.

The bomber MA-1 went from having the interior color of the outside change to  the Interior colour of  Orange, and before that went from having the tab to snap the hose oxygen mask to aircraft to one without it . Another thing is green having   changed many times the shades (or better known as Sage Green).

The bomber CWU 45 was produced with different types of fabric, nylon lighter or heavier, fabric MPTex (Nylon/rayon) changing, sometimes even the heaviness of the fabric.

The by n3b parka and snorker N2B have changed various types of hair and fur on the hood, though they are always had fur or synthetic fur. Also they had fixed or detachable pile, and in the latter there were products which had buttons to attach/detach the fur on the hood, on the side of the hood or from part of the same suit.

And in many others are differences that we were on the models Alpha Industries made in USA, even in the same model and even in the same colour, due to this reason, the evolving needs of pilots and soldiers of the u.s. military.
