What does "upcycled" mean in Alpha’s Operation RE:SUPPLY?Updated 3 hours ago
Upcycled items in Operation RE:SUPPLY are one-of-a-kind pieces created by reworking existing garments—including vintage military gear, deadstock apparel, and select Alpha surplus.
Here’s how it works:
- Garments are deconstructed and rebuilt in collaboration with both emerging and established designers
- Each piece is reimagined using design details taken from the original materials, resulting in a unique look and feel
- Because of this process, no two upcycled items are exactly alike
Upcycling gives authentic military clothing a second life, blending history with modern design and supporting more sustainable practices.
