Alpha Industries Men's Nose Dive Cotton Jacket

Alpha Jacket with pure cotton shell and light teddy fur lining. The colour (fog grey) is nice and decent, a bit washed out. The army logo on the top of the left arm looks interesting, but I don't know what it means. Maybe it is something from the old days that would correspond with the vintage style of this jacket. Regular fit like most of the Alphajackets.For autumn and spring time.

I love the jacket! It is light weight, but still keeps you warm! The only drag is the storm flap kind of pokes you in the chin a little bit when the jacket is zipped, but otherwise, this is a great buy. Fit is as expected.

Snug fit but they said it would be due to military sizing. The next size up would be too big, but I like a snug fit versus too big.

Great value and fit was expected. I am a 43 inch chest and ordered the XL and fit great.

I got this jacket in olive on a whim, and I was surprised by the quality of the jacket. The description states that it takes cues from the B-10 and B-15 jackets of WWII. Well, 5% B-10 with the white collar (which some B-10s had) and the AAF screening on the left sleeve. The jacket is cut like a B-15. Except for unlike the B-15, which is very short, this one is longer and easily makes it over your pants and belt. There are a lot of nice vintage characteristics, for example the fabric has a vintage weave and feels like an old, well used jacket. The stitching on the windflap and back of the collar are the same as a WW II B-15 as is the small pen pocket on the left sleeve and the zipper has a nice vintage color. Even the fabric for the zipper looks like vintage military. I have owned a few issue flight jackets: A-2, G-1, MA-1, Alpha Vintage B-15. This jacket, obviously is not overbuilt like a military issue jacket. Good in cool weather, probably not below 35o though. Unlike B-10/15/MA-1, it is not cut to be worn over a flight suit, so I find it a more appropriate length with civilian clothes. It's kind of like the current Hamilton Khaki field watches, they are styled after the original but styled differently than the original (larger face). If you are looking for a reproduction that is cut and built to military specs, this is not your jacket, but if you are looking for the vibe of those WW II jackets in a comfortable jacket that fits better for most non-flight applications, this is pretty solid.
