Highsnobiety, the media pioneer who since 2005 has shaped the forefront of culture from the
proliferation of streetwear to its infiltration of luxury, unveils a limited-edition jacket created in collaboration with American military heritage workwear brand, Alpha Industries.
The collaboration looks back on one of Alpha Industries inaugural styles, the MA-1 Bomber Jacket, which made its military debut in 1953, and has been manufactured by Alpha & its predecessors since 1957. Since then it has gone on to become an iconic piece of outerwear adopted by creatives across the globe and individuals such as Jean Paul Gaultier and Raf Simons.
Together Alpha Industries and Highsnobiety release the MA-1 Bomber Jacket in a limited edition model made of premium black Napa leather with a deep olive satin lining. A special Alpha Industries x Highsnobiety co-branded tag sits at the interior with subtle Highsnobiety branding included throughout. This marks the first time the jacket has been produced in leather within the western hemisphere and will be available in extremely limited quantities.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Alpha Industries to create this special black leather rendition of the MA-1 Bomber Jacket, a style that has sat at the apex of fashion and culture since its debut. At Highsnobiety, our mission is to champion the best culture has to offer, and we look forward to continuing that exploration through our partnership.” – Highsnobiety Creative Director of ECommerce, Herbert Hoffman
The Alpha Industries x Highsnobiety MA-1 Leather Bomber jacket retails for $975 and will be available for purchase at the Highsnobiety Shop from February 22, 2023.
