Alpha Industries MA-1 Flyer’s Vest Nylon Silver Grey Orange Military Aviation Bomber 

A distinctive Alpha Industries MA-1 flyer’s vest in silver-grey nylon with a classic high-visibility orange reverse side. Based on the iconic MA-1 flight jacket silhouette, this sleeveless version carries a strong military aviation character in a lighter, highly wearable format. 

Alpha Industries is closely associated with American military and flight jacket heritage, best known for outerwear inspired by U.S. Air Force garments such as the MA-1 bomber. This vest translates that language into a practical sleeveless piece, keeping the ribbed bomber collar and hem, chunky front zipper, utility-style chest pocket, snap-button hand pockets and reversible orange lining.

The outer shell has a subtle sheen and a technical nylon feel, giving it the unmistakable look of vintage flight wear. The interior features bright orange nylon, historically associated with rescue visibility on flight jackets, adding both authenticity of style and strong visual contrast. Details include an Alpha-branded zipper pull, embroidered Alpha logo near the inner placket, woven Alpha Industries labels, ribbed collar and waistband, and a small black-and-gold chest logo tab.

The original label reads “VEST, FLYER’S, MAN FV-2” and includes a visible “SIZE: LARGE” marking, stock number and contract-style details. It also identifies Alpha Industries, Inc., Knoxville, Tennessee, USA and lists the shell and lining as 100% nylon with polyester fiberfill interlining.

Material information from the label:
Shell: 100% nylon
Lining: 100% nylon
Interlining: 100% polyester fiberfill 

The visible label identifies Alpha Industries, Inc., Knoxville, Tennessee, USA. 

All that makes it especially appealing for collectors of vintage Alpha Industries, military-inspired outerwear and aviation garments.

Fit Information 

Although the vest is labelled Large, it has a cropped MA-1 bomber cut and fits relatively short and compact. The person in the photos usually wears size L, sometimes moving toward XL depending on the cut. In reality, the vest sits quite snugly on him and feels slightly shorter than it may appear in the listing photos. Based on the measurements, it would likely fit best on someone who usually wears M, or someone between M and L who prefers a closer vintage bomber fit.

Styling suggestions 

Easy to wear over a sweatshirt, hoodie, denim shirt or heavyweight T-shirt. The cropped bomber shape works especially well with wide denim, cargos, workwear trousers or vintage military-inspired styling. The reversible orange interior gives it strong visual appeal, especially when worn open.

Garment Measurements

Front Length: Approx. 59 cm (23.2 inches)
Measured from the outermost point of the collar seam, where the collar seam is clearly defined, down to the bottom hem.

Chest Width (Armpit to Armpit): Approx. 60 cm (23.6 inches)
Measured straight across the area from armpit to armpit below the arm openings.
Note: This is a flat measurement. The full chest circumference is approximately double this value.

Arm Opening: Approx. 32 cm (12.6 inches)
Measured straight from the top of the arm opening down to the lower armpit point, with the vest laid flat.
Note: As this is a sleeveless vest, this measurement helps indicate how much space there is around the armhole. The opening has a slightly curved shape, so the measurement should be considered approximate.

Shoulder Width: Approx. 40 cm (15.7 inches)
Measured from shoulder seam to shoulder seam across the upper front.

Hem Width: Approx. 57 cm (22.4 inches)
Measured straight across the bottom hem of the garment. 

General Measurement Notes: 

All measurements are approximate. Due to manual measurement, slight variations of approximately 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 inches) may occur. This is normal in garment measurements. If any specific measurement is particularly important, please feel free to ask for verification.

*All measurements are taken from the outside of the garment unless otherwise specified. 
*Measurements are taken with the garment laid flat on a surface. Please compare these measurements with a similar garment that fits you well. 
*Some fabrics, ribbed hems or elasticated parts may allow slight stretching during measurement. Small variations are therefore possible.
