In 1959 Alpha Industries was commissioned by the Department of Defense to design and manufacture high performance outerwear for the US Military. The company went on to be one of the largest suppliers of apparel and quickly became synonymous with developing the iconic MA-1, M-65, and N-3B trusted by soldiers, sailors and aviators to protect them from the most dire conditions across the land, sea and air. Today, Alpha’s mission is to protect and inspire heroism in all forms by outfitting men and women to realize their limitless potential.
