What’s the difference between Core Fit, Standard Fit, and Slim Fit in Alpha jackets?Updated 3 hours ago

Alpha Industries jackets come in five distinct fit types, designed to suit different body types and style preferences. Here’s how they compare—listed from slimmest to loosest:

Alpha Fit Types

- Slim Fit
Tailored through the chest, arms, and waist for a closer-to-body silhouette.
Offers a modern, streamlined look—best worn as a stand-alone piece or over lightweight layers.

- Standard Fit (also called Regular Fit)
Balanced and true-to-size—less boxy than Core Fit but roomier than Slim.
Great for everyday comfort without excess bulk.

- Core Fit
Based on original military specs. Roomy in the shoulders and body, with a more squared-off cut.
Common in Heritage styles like the MA‑1 and M‑65.

- Relaxed Fit
Looser than Core Fit, offering more ease throughout the chest, arms, and waist.
Best for casual layering or a slightly oversized feel.

- Oversized Fit
Designed with exaggerated proportions—extended length, broader shoulders, and extra volume.
A bold, fashion-forward fit often seen in streetwear.
