The Lineage of the MA-1 Bomber Jacket with Alpha Industries
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- The ultimate example of both form and function: military bomber jackets -- particularly the United States Navy MA-1 jacket with its knit trim and recognizable right-arm zip pocket -- have transitioned from technical garments to world-wide fashion staples. During the course of the past few decades, the silhouette has been adopted by high fashion, fast fashion and everything in between. During that time, the Alpha Industries MA-1 has become emblematic of this transition. The bomber's military heritage, durable construction, and recognizable accents have made it the choice of designers around the world to customize, deconstruct and collaborate on. But the MA-1 isn't the only piece of government commissioned clothing to have made it to the runway in recent years. Renditions of the M-65 field coat and takes on the N3-B and N2-B parkas are equally visible on blogs, in magazines, and on celebrities, having been repurposed both in terms of their aesthetic as well as what they represent.

My grandfather gave me his old M-65 and it still has his surname and ranger patch on it.
This is such a nice gift! Make sure to treat it well!
you are very lucky
The M-65 field jacket has become nothing less than legendary.
Funny tho that golden mfg started making the jackets because they were better and cheaper than alpha industries
bombers have become a staple for all dudes tbh
w
AJ Street Style its a staple for everyone bro
Kinda, yeah. But not too much here in Germany, which I think is better. Wanna stand out of the mass right? :D
Hmm
Just received my Ma1 jacket absolutely amazing quality! 👍
Damn I seriously missed a cop I saw a bomber jacket down at Nordstrom rack for 60 missed opportunity?🤦♂️
Rriestone Daquis yes they are normally $150 ish
I have a MA-1 in Navy. I really like it!
Got my Nasa Ma1 in Navy blue, just like in the video and I'm now waiting for my black N3b parka to arrive!
litterally just received mine. Great video
Getting the Nasa bomber flight jacket very soon, I'm so excited! =D
(I think it's currently only available in Europe, dunno why)
Just picked up N3B the Parka for $39 at Ross...steal!
alpha industries parka??
@@Ari-in7pn they do make parkas
Robert Duvall in Apocalypse Now is wearing a third pattern jungle jacket in OG.
CWU 45 p replaced the MA-1 in 1977 but many pilots still used MA-1 for a while because most pilots didn't like the high slant pockets of the CWU which were actually positioned in order to prevent pilots from putting their hands in it as per regulation.
Robert Duvall in that still from Apocalypse Now isn't wearing an M65, he's wearing a Vietnam era jungle jacket with the slanted pockets, don't know the exact model type. Besides Taxi Driver, the most iconic movie depiction of it is John Rambo in First Blood.
The lady interviewed btw is wearing a French army coat.
I want the Dragon Ball bomber jacket. Give to me pls!!
Thousands of scooter boys in the 1980s wore these jackets , In the UK to keep them warm on their vespas and lambrettas...
LONG LIVE THE BOMBER JACKET
They are mixing 50 plus year old pictures of original clothes made for the military with China imports even alpha indust. Went over seas go to e bay and get orignals, just bought a brand new camo jacket from a dealer for under a 100 dollars and the jacket was made in 1999.
awesome jackets. I just made a video of an authentic m-65 field jacket I found at a thrift store!
Concord snd Rothco made superb MA1jackets also issued to US Pilots & a great deal cheaper Made in America & Taiwan
I have only 2 questions: where where these jackets were made?
It's very important.
Unfortunately, the place of production can influence the quality... My guess....
Just BOMB!
I'm waiting for the N3B to released in pink.
Any one know the parka at 0:46
I actually have an m2b and an m-65

Hello sir. I want to buy used military clothes from America. Can you show me the safety of selling clothes wholesale? I live in Norway.
Pretty funny video for a veteran to watch...
Just copped a ma-1 but concerned over sizing now, model was 6’0 in the ad I’m 6,2 he got a Large I thought the XL would fit to baggy but guess we will see I got the L also even tho I wear XL Ts all the time
Dr Martens goes well with Alpha ind.
because you'll look like a white supremacist
Nguyễn D Anh album no he’ll just look like a British skinhead. Not what racists wear over here
@@ladydee4692 idk lol i think white supremecists have adapted the whole skinhead look and made it their (which is bad)
Nguyễn D Anh album probably where you guys are.
But where I am here in the north of England. Gammons wear Lyle & Scot, england T-shirt’s. With sambas or cheap Reebok/Adidas.
@@hanoimenace The skinheads are not all racist. A large portion are antifascist and anti-racists such as the S.H.A.R.P.. They all have the same look though and it is important to make that distinction.
That forced Kanye West shoutout though.
?
Chad was it? I think it was a pretty valid point to make considering after he wore it, every company in the world makes a bomber now a days. Kanye definitely didn't start it but he brought that shit back to life.
Joey Saldana Joey was it? Not like your name isn't right in front of me or anything. Joey, you're straight up a fucking dumbass. Don't ever fucking talk to me with that level of stupidity again. Go eat a hardcover book.
Chad sorry chad 😩😩😭
brought it back to life after everyone and their dog wore it
1:52 lmao thats not an M65, thats a M64 jungle jacket...
Anybody know who the models are?

Too cold 0:56 🔥
Got mine at thrift store.. what?!” What’s my initials b. *I was born for this. Just follow my lead. Ok.
Best ma-1 jackets are made by Schott. They are way better than Alpha Industries Ma-1 jackets.
Ya there popular for skin heads
Andrew Mills and everyone else. Also skin heads would rather wear Nazigerman fieldjackets if they are real ones
Why are rain coats $300 ,
$300 is the price of sixty G.I.JOE figures at five dollars a piece
$300 is the price of sixty G.I.JOE figures at five dollars a piece in the 1980's
quiero todas xd
eBay you can get it for cheaper $50.
2:49 i’m not american so i might be wrong but... isn’t that the confederate flag???
Yeah. He did it for shock value and to say that he’s reclaiming it. When it wasn’t “ours” to begin with. But it’s Kanye you know
THESE ARE NOT USAF OFFICIAL FLIGHT JACKET !!!! THEY ARE NO NOMEX MADE!!!
where's logic at? smh
Jays King fuck logic
Why did you completely skip over the skinhead and punk fashion that actually made the bomber jacket popular and why hip hop copied the style?
Also, gotta love the rebel flag Kanye was sporting!
Nas
Sry - since Alpha moved to CHINA in the 9os - their just making OVERPRICED garments for Fashion Hipsters , has nothing more to do with the once great >MADE IN USA< military issue quality .
motorrebell so vintage alpha pieces are superior?
@@ODER66MIKE Yes , The stitching - sewing - zippers ( Heavy Duty - Scoville ) were much better - had much heavier quality and the the fitting was far superior !
@@motorrebell There's deterioration to the vintage jackets tho, for example the cuffs are usually stretched or at least not as elastic and all.
@@johndou423 Right -but materials improved & Its not only Alpha that made the Original "Made in USA" jackets - There were other Official military contractors -companys such as Concord - Delta etc ,that made flight jackets with identical specs for the Military too .
@idkwhattoputhereok? Puke in yout Hipster jacket moron .
Go on ebay or vintagetrends and buy surplus. The real deal and not this pretentious fashionista crap that is probably lower standard.
Cafelogis Alpha invented the bomber and they are still the best/highest quality - fact. No way is this a 'lower standard'.
Yeah every jacket I've owned has been superior quality. Don't know what you're talking about
I’m sorry did you not hear the dude in the beginning? He literally said that they started off as a MILITARY contractor.
Lower standard? Alpha Industries is the foundation of bomber jackets. Every other brand out there that makes bombers jackets are imitating. Alpha leads, others follow.
K. W. Wearing a confederate flag… the joke tells itself
Lol. All the veterans & soldiers must be cringing at this hard.
I love when clothing I got wet and frozen while wearing on deployments becomes cool for hipsters and urban gay pride parades
