Buzz Rickson’s Lot 51904 / Gold Tiger Pattern Shorts
In the 1960s, the US military procurement headquarters in Japan chose to procure camouflage uniforms from Japan. This was because Japan had advanced printing technology, rapid production, and was also cost-effective. The patterns were left to the discretion of factories across Japan, which is why countless variations of tiger stripe patterns were created. Many of the early tiger stripes were made in Japan, but some were sent to Okinawa for sewing, and some were also manufactured in Thailand and around Vietnam during the latter part of the Vietnam War. These shorts are an original Buzz Rickson's product that has been modified by cutting the length of the pants.

Buzz Rickson’s Lot BR02833 / SUIT-PNEUMATIC ANTI-G, TYPE G-3A HBT BAG
During World War II, the Type G-3A suit was adopted to reduce the G-forces exerted on pilots. The intense G-forces affect blood flow, causing blood to flow from the brain to the lower body, and if blood is lacking in the brain, the field of vision becomes pitch black, and eventually the pilot loses consciousness, resulting in a "G-lock" state. A suit was developed that tightly tightens the body with cords to prevent blood from flowing to the tips of the limbs. This bag was included to store the suit. The seams are carefully piped with time and effort, and the zipper uses a war-type TALON zipper. Although the capacity is compact, the transfer-type Air Force mark and the stencils that fill every corner show the pride of the Army Air Corps.
