Remove Before Flight – what’s behind the tag

The red Remove Before Flight tag is far more than just decoration. In aviation, RBF tags mark safety-relevant parts that must be removed before takeoff. Alpha Industries transferred this functional detail to its jackets in the 1990s – initially as a zipper pull on MA-1s and the like, but now also on cargo pants, fanny packs, and backpacks. The tag represents the authentic connection to aviation, makes zippers easier to grip, and sets an iconic accent. You can remove the pull if you prefer a cleaner look, or wear it consciously as a statement. A practical example is the Alpha Industries Crew Carry Bag – Black . Typical Alpha: Heritage meets design with purpose.

From the cockpit to culture: Alpha Industries in streetwear

Since 1959, Alpha Industries has been building functional outerwear with military roots. Models like the MA-1 bomber jacket and the M-65 initially defined the US military – and soon conquered clubs, streets, and stages around the world. In New York's disco and later hip-hop scenes, the bomber jacket became a uniform for the night, while in Europe, techno and biker culture adopted the utility look. Today, Alpha is an integral part of modern streetwear.

You can read more about the history of the Alpha bomber jacket in the article Alpha Industries bomber jacket – a timeless classic .

Why it works: The cuts are timeless, the materials robust, the details functional. Whether it's the Classic MA-1, the lightweight MA-1 TT for mild weather, or the MA-1 D-Tec with a hood, each version covers a clear use case. The N3B Parka or Hooded Puffer are perfect for winter, while the M-65 Field Jacket and the CWU-45/P create striking transitional looks. These pair well with Jet Cargo Pants, Ripstop Joggers, hoodies, and back-print hoodies.

• Workwear utility: Combine the M-65 with denim, boots, and a Dockers beanie .
• Clean City: MA-1 TT in black with hoodie, straight leg, and sneakers.
• Statement: NASA jacket or patches plus cargo and cap.
• Winter-ready: N3B or Explorer Parka with layering and boots.

Collaborations underscore the cultural impact – for example, with Vetements, 032c, or Patta. Sneaker and cultural connections like New Balance projects also demonstrate that Alpha remains close to the scene and innovation without losing its DNA.

Fit, sizes and care

Fit and size

Alpha fits differently depending on the model: The Classic MA-1 is regular and boxy, the MA-1 TT is slimmer, and the MA-1 VF 59 has a narrower vintage silhouette. Parkas like the N3B are longer. Depending on the style, sizes sometimes go up to 5XL. Measure your favorite jacket and check the size chart on the product page.

Care tips

Always follow the care label. Wash nylon and flight satin inside out using cold water and gently, then air dry. Only treat leather jackets with special care products. Remove patches before cleaning and close zippers.
