Billionaire Boys Club EU launches exclusive Alpha Industries NASA MA-1 Jacket
Billionaire Boys Club has reissued the classic NASA MA-1 flight jacket design in collaboration with Alpha Industries for SS18
By Nick Byam
Inspired by the flight jackets of the U.S Air Force, the fully reversible oversized bomber, is realised in the classic Billionaire Boys Club (BBC) Camo print and cyber orange- originally the colour used to signal for help in the event of a crash.
With BBC mission patches inspired by NASA and Apollo 13, the jacket fits perfectly into the spring collection motto ‘Per Aspera As Astra’ (Latin for ‘Through Hardship to the Stars).

Campaign imagery for the collaboration features musician Smino and focusses on key design elements such as the signature ‘remove before flight’ flag, Ottoman knit cuffs and a left sleeve complete with utility pocket and Space Camo panel insert. The jacket is 100% water repellent and will keep you warm in temperatures as low as -4 degrees Celsius. Perfect to combat the current cold front from the east.
The new Billionaire Boys Club EU x Alpha Industries NASA MA-1 Jacket will retail for £350 and will be available online at bbcicecream.eu.
