From Military Clothing to Fashion Brand – The Story Behind Alpha Industries!

We never intended to become a world-famous fashion brand... This statement makes the reader think. One might assume that a company is founded with the intention and hope of swimming to the top. Being world-famous and making history are the most commonly mentioned goals when starting your own business. So why does someone from this industry not intend to become a world-famous fashion brand? It's quite simple: Reading the same sentence and emphasizing the word "fashion" suddenly makes sense of a company that was originally and exclusively dedicated to military clothing. Fashion, true to military style, yet with trendy design and a play of colors. It worked. A gamble that became glorious reality. To this day, the pilot jackets and more from Alpha Industries are not only highly sought after by soldiers. They are also hugely popular among sports enthusiasts and celebrities like Rihanna, Kanye West, Beyoncé.

Over 60 Years of Alpha Industries

To give you a better overview of the milestones in the history of Alpha Industries, here are the key milestones in the company's development. Looking back to 1957, Dobbs Industries in Knoxville, Tennessee was producing Air Force pilot jackets, hoods, caps, and Army raincoats. In 1959, Samuel Gelber founded Alpha Industries and worked as a subcontractor for Dobbs. At that time, he produced the now globally famous MA-1 pilot jacket and subsequently became a government contract manufacturer. In that year, Alpha Industries signed its first contract with the US Department of Defense for the production of the Air Force N-3B parka. This was the first trial for the newcomers in the apparel industry.

In 1965, Alpha Industries was awarded the contract for the newly developed M-65 field jacket. A pinnacle was reached, and Alpha secured a contract with the state government for the following 25 years for this jacket. To keep the production line running between Alpha Industries and the government, Alpha started a small production of jackets for the commercial market in 1970.

1992: The birth year of the famous "Flight A"! Alpha Industries introduced its new logo composed of three horizontal stripes and the Flight A. This label is now recognized worldwide.

1996: Stepping into the global market. Alpha Industries formed a partnership with a major distributor in Japan.

1998: Alpha Industries created its first collection for the European market. Alongside men's clothing, a range of women's and children's clothing also hit the market.

To this day, Alpha Industries remains dedicated to the production of militarily inspired clothing. The unique design makes the pilot jackets, trousers, and more the ideal companions for duty and everyday life. Today, after over 60 years, Alpha Industries has become one of the leading manufacturers in the fashion industry.
