Description: Alpha Industries is an American clothing company, founded in 1959, intially as a contractor to the United States military. In the 1980s, they were awarded the DOD contract to produce CWU-36/P, NOMEX flight jackets. Made of fire resistant fabric and components, it replaced the nylon flight jackets that had been the standard issue since the 1950s. The jacket featured here is the CWU-45/P a heavier version of the 36, started in 1995. (Credit website page of Alpha Industries US.) While the jacket is vintage, it is in superb condition. There are no holes, no stains, little wear. The ribbing at the bottom, and the cuffs, is still in excellent shape. The velcro on the front pockets is a bit fuzzy. The only issue with the jacket is the dongle is missing off of the metal, steel zipper. Which I understand is easily replaced.
