IISE and Alpha Industries work in collaboration to launch a Fall/Winter 2021 collection of militaristic looks. The duo dives deep in terms of its inspiration this season. To honor the brand heritage, it taps into Korean history and translates it through the L-2B Scout Bomber Jacket and the ALS Liner Jacket, which stands for Alpha Liner System.
Both of the jackets are detailed with blood chit detailing that is taken from an actual notice that was carried by military personnel at the time of the Korean War. Blood chit notices were sent to civilians that may have come across an armed services member during difficulties and used to identify belonging along with a message that requests assistance.
