Expanding the breadth of its modern takes on heritage military designs, the latest collection from Alpha Industries builds on the theme of customization from past seasons using special forces units as inspiration. In its new lookbook, we get a preview of the brand’s warm weather releases including embroidered classics like a souvenir bomber with tiger imagery and the camo Dragon Tour coat adorned with world tour detailing. For the spring season, Alpha’s focus moves from the heavier MA-1 to the more weather-appropriate L-2B Flex, and longer length outerwear in the form of field coats and fishtails. Velcro patches for personalization return from last season, with limited edition installments releasing every 30 days. Finally, the lace-up hooded Mariner Anorak, fit to be worn as a layering piece or a piece of outerwear in its own right, makes an appearance for the first time and rounds out the range.

Look through all of the military fashion and pick your favorites above, then stay tuned for a release at Alpha stockists as well as on its official website.
