Description
In collaboration with Nasa, the Alpha x Nasa jacket is the perfect addition to any wardrobe. Introduced in the mid-1950s, the MA-1 became the flight jacket of U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots and ground crew. Designed for use in temperatures of 14-50 degrees F, the MA-1 had a 100% wool knit collar, waistband and cuffs. The MA-1 discarded the mouton fur collar of its predecessor, the B-15, because it interfered with the parachute harness worn by aviators. These features were eventually removed from the flight jacket as it was adopted by other branches of the U.S. Today, Alpha industries have redesigned the iconic jacket to include Alpha's iconic branding, Nasa embroidered badges on the arms and chest, breathable air vents under the arms, elasticated cuffs and Alpha's iconic branding on the back.
