Flight Jacket
If there was a jacket that “the little boy” in you has always wanted, it would be this one. Whether you want to wear something for the rain and the cold or if you just want to look slick, the MA-1 Navy Fighter Pilot Jacket from Alpha Industries is the one you want. Since its inception in the 1950s, this was the first military flight jacket to cross over into public fashion. The nylon jacket can withstand low temperatures from 14-50 degrees with 100% wool knit collar, waistband, and cuffs.
The Raincoat
The yellow raincoat, that is. This waterproof coat is designed to protect oneself from hard rainfall or a rainstorm. Typically, many raincoats are colored in yellow because it is eye-popping and noticeable in the rain or if you have fallen overboard. An ideal garb for fishermen and sailors working in the rain or a storm. Construction workers also wear a variation of this raincoat as well. At The Surplus Store, you will discover many different variations of the yellow raincoat including heavy-duty, laminated, industrial, commercial, and nylon.
Insulated Jacket
Dickie’s Insulated Eisenhower Jacket is the perfect pick for your collection of winter jackets and coats. Dickie’s is an excellent clothing brand that excels in workwear material, whose products are made to be comfortable, look good on the wearer, and be durable for a long period of time. Composed from a quilted nylon and foam lining, this jacket is also equipped with adjustable waist tabs and interior and exterior pockets. One of the most popular jackets from the Dickie’s brand; feels lightweight, but gives efficient warm wear.
The Pea Coat
A sure and reliable form of winter clothing, the pea coat (or the pilot jacket) takes the cake as one of the most popular and fashionable outer coats that you could wear in the season. Its origin dates from military roots as it was initially worn by European sailors and later US Navy members. Usually, the coat is composed of heavy wool and nylon, it is typically short, hemmed with vertical or slash pockets, and is always double-breasted. For increased warmth, flip up the lapel and button all the way to the top in order to prevent incoming winter drafts. The pea coat that we offer in-store is made from the Alpha Industries, a reliable brand in vintage jackets, parkas, and field coats.
