FAQs
Is this jacket waterproof?
The jacket is made from weather-resistant flight nylon, which is ideal for light rain and wind, but it is not intended for heavy downpours or submerged conditions.
How should I store the jacket for the summer?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight inside a breathable garment bag to prevent fading and dust buildup.
Can I machine wash this bomber jacket?
It is highly recommended to dry clean the jacket. Machine washing may damage the specific weave and finish of the flight nylon.
Does the hood detach?
No, the hood is an integrated part of the 45/P design and is not removable.
Is the fit true to size?
The jacket follows standard sizing conventions, but it is designed with a bomber silhouette, which is naturally slightly roomier through the torso.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn wrinkles in the nylon
Hang the jacket in a bathroom during a hot shower; the steam will naturally relax the fibers without the risk of heat damage from an iron.
Ribbed cuffs losing shape
Avoid stretching the cuffs when pulling the jacket on or off; if they become loose, professional steaming can sometimes help restore the tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Alpha Industries 45/P Hooded Custom in optimal condition, adhere to the following care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Due to the technical nature of the flight nylon fabric, professional dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the integrity of the material.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy, broad-shouldered hanger to prevent distortion of the fabric and to ensure the ribbed cuffs and hem maintain their elasticity.
- Weatherproofing: While the nylon is inherently water-resistant, you may apply a fabric protector spray designed for synthetic textiles to enhance its repellency against moderate rain.
- Maintenance: Regularly brush off any dust or dry debris with a soft-bristled brush. Avoid exposing the nylon to high heat, such as radiators or irons, as it can melt or deform the synthetic fibers.
