Awake NY and Alpha Industries Team Up for a Bold New MA-1 Flight Jacket
New York City streetwear brand Awake NY and iconic military apparel company Alpha Industries have joined forces to create a one-of-a-kind MA-1 flight jacket. This collaboration brings together the best of both brands, combining Alpha Industries’ classic military design with Awake NY’s unique aesthetic.
A Fusion of Military Heritage and New York Style
The Awake NY x Alpha Industries MA-1 flight jacket is a reimagined version of the timeless silhouette, with a focus on individuality and self-expression. Awake NY founder Angelo Baque’s vision of embracing personal style is reflected in this collaboration, which celebrates the fusion of precision and patina, structure and soul.
Custom Over-Dyed Nylon and Hand-Applied Studs
Crafted from a custom over-dyed teal nylon fabric, each jacket has a unique, painterly, clouded surface. But what truly sets this jacket apart are the hand-applied turquoise studs, forming the Awake NY crown logo on the chest and spelling out the full logo across the back. These studs pay homage to vintage punk embellishments, giving the jacket a rebellious edge.
A Nod to the Original MA-1
While the Awake NY x Alpha Industries MA-1 flight jacket is a modern interpretation, it still pays tribute to the original design. Classic elements such as Alpha Industries’ signature red ribbon, a utility sleeve pocket, and rib-knit cuffs and collar are present, grounding the piece in its military roots.
Where to Get It
The collection will be available on October 11 through Awake NY’s website, Alpha Industries’ website, and the Awake NY flagship store. Don’t miss your chance to own this unique and stylish collaboration between two iconic brands.
