Story & heritage

Alpha’s bomber history article places the B-15 in the 1940s and describes it as the blueprint for the MA-1. The official product page keeps those older flight-jacket cues visible: the mouton-style collar and the button tabs once used by pilots for oxygen masks and headset wires.

That makes the B-15 the “classic before the classic” in Alpha’s current lineup — familiar as a bomber, but softer at the neck and more visibly linked to earlier cockpit gear.

Materials & craft

The official B-15 Heritage page lists a nylon shell, removable synthetic mouton collar, water resistance, sleeve utility pocket, lower flap pockets, interior welt pockets, sleeve shirring and Ottoman-knit cuffs.

How to choose & style

The B-15 is strongest when the collar is allowed to frame the outfit. Keep the layers simple — tee, thermal or crewneck — and let the fur-trim silhouette do the vintage work.
