Alpha Industries History
In October, 1959, more than 50 years ago, Alpha Industries began its operations making military clothing in the basement of a rented Knoxville, Tennessee factory using leased sewing machines and only a few employees. The first few years were very difficult for newly formed Alpha because it was a time of peace and the U.S. Defence Department purchased only small quantities of military clothing. However, the outstanding quality of Alpha-s clothing quickly came to the Defence Department-s attention and as America-s need for military clothing increased as the Vietnam conflict deepened, Alpha-s growth as a manufacturer for the Defence Department rapidly accelerated.
Alpha specialized in manufacturing many types of jackets and pants for U.S. military forces. As the years went by America-s Defence Forces came to rely more and more on Alpha-s expertise to produce U.S. Air Force and Naval Aviation flight jackets, Army and Marine Corps field jackets and a host of military pants and other clothing. During this time Alpha manufactured over 40 million garments for the U.S. military ranging from simple hoods to complicated cold weather Gore-Tex parkas.
Although Alpha made many different types of clothing the company became most associated with several jackets that became classics of American fashion. Two of these jackets--- the MA-1 flight jacket and the M-65 field jacket-- were almost exclusively made by Alpha for the military and Alpha was instrumental in working with the U.S. military designers to improve their performance and design. Subsequently when these garments migrated from their military roots into globally popular casual or street wear styles Alpha, as the authentic producer of the MA-1 and M-65 for the military, also became famous in the public-s mind for these styles.

Decent but not 5 Stars
I bought the previous incarnation of this Polar Jacket. It is a decent fit and decent build quality. However, it is dry clean only. And you will need to re-apply the waterproof coating periodically as it does not last long. As I discovered to my cost when I got drenched recently despite wearing a circa £300 all weather jacket!!

Exceeded expectations for fit, warmth and quallity
I bought this for my wife, she is often outdoors in all weathers and wanted a warm, durable hooded parka. She has been more than impressed and says this parka exceeded what she was expecting, even from Alpha. She is a tall 14/16 and went for the XL which is a good fit, allowing for a medium to heavy weight fleece and baselayer underneath. Highly recommended by my wife.
