PINTRILL works in collaboration with Alpha Industries to create the special CWU 45/P Space Race flight jacket in celebration of the Apollo 11 anniversary. This year marks 50 years since Apollo 11 and the collaborative project honors the special 1969 space race that occurred between America's Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong and Societ Union's cosmonauts.
The limited-edition flight jacket features a black base foundation and is adorned in a plethora of badges that are designed with inspiration drawn from the historic event's merchandise, posters, and stamps. The signature zi[-pull is found on the left arm as a branding accent of Alpha Industries with a slight difference, reading "WE COME IN PEACE" on a tag right beside the classic "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT."
