NIGHT WANDERING with ALPHA INDUSTRIES

Wandering around Shibuya at night , Alpha Industries and contemporary youth.

ALPHA INDUSTRIES is synonymous with flight jackets representing the United States. While its origins lie in military products manufactured to military specifications, the brand has now established a familiar position for many fashion users, especially young people. This time, Tokyo youths with a fresh sense of fashion showed style samples wearing the new outerwear that will be their partner in midwinter. We followed eight of them in their real-life outfits in Shibuya at night.

What is the point of today's outfit?

We tried to create a stylish military style with a silver MA-1, which is also a neutral monotone color, as the main color.

What are your impressions of wearing Alpha Industries' outerwear?

I used to like MA-1s, but I didn't like how short they were. However, this item is large in size and the length is just right, so I like it! I would also like to try wearing it reversible.

What are you into these days?

On sunny days, skateboarding on steep downhills. On rainy days, go to museums.

What creations or activities are essential to your lifestyle and daily life?

Skateboarding and music. And coffee and doughnuts.

What kind of lifestyle do you want to lead in 10 years?

Free Man.


This MA-1 type flight jacket was created in 1958. It is synonymous with the brand, and the silver color is this season's seasonal color. It is reversible, and details such as the cigar pocket are faithfully reproduced from the original design.

What is the point of today's outfit?

Heavy men's outerwear and shorts create a mismatched look, while a van T and leather boots add a hard look.

Whether it is long or short, the length fits me and whether I can wear it. I also often wear items in colors that are appropriate for fall and winter.

What does Instagram mean to you?

Trend Search Items.

What do you recommend as a night spot in Shibuya?

Harlem!

Eating hot and spicy food.
