What’s the difference between Core Fit, Standard Fit, and Slim Fit in Alpha jackets?Updated 20 days 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.
