With the ALPHA x GR10K CWU-45 Bomber Jacket you wear a piece of reinterpreted military history. The collaboration between Alpha Industries and the Italian fashion label GR10K draws on their shared roots in military-inspired workwear and translates this heritage into a contemporary cultural perspective. The starting point is the legendary CWU-45 flight jacket from 1972, which GR10K has reimagined through what it calls an operational restoration. The jacket’s original identity is preserved while its structure, function and context are subtly adjusted. The result is a modern interpretation that connects tradition with conceptual design. The jacket is re-envisioned as the uniform of the guards at a fictional provincial museum, the HERTRUDE WADSWORTH – MUSÉE DES ARTS APPLIQUÉS, bringing functional clothing and cultural reference together in a compelling way. The outer fabric is made from 100% nylon in durable Flight Nylon, ensuring resilience and an authentic look. Striking Musée des Arts Appliqués patches on the chest replace the classic Alpha Industries emblem and reinforce the curated character of the jacket. Blue Velcro elements and colourful details inside create deliberate accents and give the silhouette a lively, pop-influenced expression. By removing the padded lining, the jacket becomes lighter and drapes more fluidly, while the Core Fit provides a classic and comfortable fit. Practical features remain: two outer pockets with Velcro offer quick access, while an inner pocket provides additional storage. The signature Utility Pocket on the sleeve is equipped with a hand-brushed Nite-Ize carabiner and a flag label, combining functionality with a technical detail. An Alpha logo embroidery on the wind flap and a GR10K neck label on the inside highlight the special collaboration. Rib cuffs at the sleeves and hem ensure a secure fit and complete the jacket with a classic bomber finish.
