Located in a loft on Broadway in the heart of Soho was the Brian Wood and Alpha Industries collaboration on flight  jackets. I want to start off by saying that I am a big fan of vintage, and it is safe to say that these bombers have that look to it. I admire the fact that the designers made their point across for each era in the unisex jackets. My favorite jacket was the 1960's, I love the fact that Jimi Hendrix was used as a part of the graphics for the jacket.  The event was also a celebration for Alpha Industries's 50th anniversary. Alpha Industries has been making MA-1 FLIGHT JACKETS SINCE THE 1950's. Also, Alpha Industries is more than just an iconic fashion brand,  it is also a part of American history. Throughout the past years the company has made outerwear for the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine corps. Which era is your favorite jacket?
