Summary

Alpha Industries' Fall/Winter 2026 "RE:ISSUE" collection introduces a new surface treatment, Battlewash, inspired by the natural aging of vintage garments.

The collection centers on three iconic silhouettes: the CWU-45/P Bomber Jacket, the N-2B Parka, and the MA-1 Bomber Jacket, each reimagined with aged, distressed detailing.

The Alpha Industries "RE:ISSUE" Fall/Winter 2026 collection is now available at AlphaIndustries.com, the brand's New York City flagship (290 Lafayette St., New York, NY), and select retailers worldwide.

This Fall/Winter season, Alpha Industries is honoring and reimagining their timeless military outerwear heritage through wear, texture, and finish. 

With a new approach to the brand’s iconic silhouettes; the CWU-45/P Bomber Jacket, the N-2B Parka, and the classic MA-1 Bomber Jacket, the “RE:ISSUE” collection introduces Battlewash, a worn-in surface treatment inspired by the natural aging of vintage military garments. 

Leading the collection are the CWU-45/P Bomber Jacket and N-2B Parka, both reimagined with aged treatments and distressed detailing, emphasizing their military origins through a naturally worn appearance. The iconic MA-1 Bomber Jacket follows suit, an iconic design reimagined through texture and detail. 

Rather than reproducing archival garments, the collection reworks and evolves familiar military silhouettes through updated surface treatments, proportions, and styling, maintaining the brand’s dedication to functionality and authenticity. 

Beyond the brand’s iconic outerwear, the Battlewash treatment extends to other Alpha Industries essentials, such as sweatpants and fleece, bringing the “RE:ISSUE” texture and finish across a broader range of everyday styles. 

The Alpha Industries “RE:ISSUE” Fall/Winter 2026 collection is now available at AlphaIndustries.com, the brand’s New York City flagship (290 Lafayette St., New York, NY), and select retailers worldwide.
