Deadstock Flight Jackets

Deadstock flight jackets are at the center of a new collaboration between Minnessak and Alpha Industries, transforming surplus MA-1 flight jackets into a collection of bags and accessories for Fall/Winter 2025. This initiative emphasizes sustainability and slow fashion by repurposing existing materials while maintaining high-quality craftsmanship. As such, the partnership reflects both brands’ commitment to reducing textile waste and creating durable, thoughtfully designed pieces.

Each MA-1 jacket is "carefully deconstructed at Minnessak’s London atelier and reconstructed with deadstock Swiss RiRi zippers, Italian leather, and durable canvas straps." The collection will debut at key industry events, including "Pitti Uomo in Florence, Show & Tell in Chicago, and D&A in New York, as well as Minnessak’s London showroom."

Additionally, the FW25 collection incorporates vintage Japanese Obi silks and a limited selection of Halley Stevenson dry-waxed cotton, further showcasing Minnessak’s dedication to material innovation.
