Vintage Green – the nostalgic shade

At the sound of the word vintage, we immediately think of something old. As a technical term, it is mostly known in winemaking and photography, but it has also become a widespread expression in clothing, as the industry calls all dressing styles between 1920 and 1975 by this name. It should not be confused with retro, which characterizes the wardrobe of the post-1975 period up to the end of the 90s. The vintage style characterizes rarer and more noble models.
Vintage colors are mainly pastel shades, including powder, light blue, green, beige, which are not gaudy. Furthermore, the style not only symbolizes naturalness, but in its spirit also represents the reimagining of objects from past times. Alpha also evokes old times with its new models by using the vintage green shade. In today's article, we selected items from this year's autumn/winter collection.
This jacket is one of the variations of the basic MA-1 model, with a huge inscription on the back greeting the arrival of peace. On the right upper arm of the jacket, a black letter A on a white background is also prominent, referring to the manufacturing company. The orange lining familiar from the MA-1, the pencil pocket on the left sleeve with the RBF tape, as well as the elastic ribbed cuffs sewn onto the sleeves, neck, and waistband are also found on this model. Another important element of the jacket is the patch consisting of four flags on the right chest. It is a comfortable wear that stands out from the crowd.
The designers also worked with the MA-1 base when creating the Air Force model. Created in honor of the United States Air Force, this bomber jacket features several different patches scattered across the sleeves and front of the jacket. It is a Slim Fit jacket, which means a tapered cut, so it's worth thinking carefully about which size you choose.
With its fur lining and hood, this jacket keeps its wearer so warm that you barely need any underlayers even in colder weather. The vintage green shade fits the bomber jacket style really well; you can feel completely in this jacket as if you were about to set off on a combat mission. The pilot style is further reinforced by thin stripes running across the jacket in multiple places. The vibe of the bomber jacket takes you back to the past, to the era of heroes.
