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.

Buzz Rickson’s Lot BR42592 / WILLIAM GIBSON BLACK M-51 Trousers
These field trousers, made from cotton satin fabric used on the reverse side, were adopted by the US Army in 1951.

Under a wool field shirt and field trousers were worn over an undershirt and drawers, and then a cotton field jacket and field pants were worn on top of that. All M-51s were designed with cold weather in mind, and the loose fit emphasizes trapping body heat and blocking out the cold air. The cord loops on the inside of the waist are a detail for attaching the metal hooks at the ends of suspenders. The BLACK MA-1 was first produced by Buzz Rickson's to commemorate the brand's 10th anniversary.
William Gibson
's world-renowned novel "Pattern Recognition," the words "Buzz Rickson's Black MA-1" are inscribed on the jacket worn by the protagonist. The Buzz Rickson's Black MA-1 jumped straight out of that novel and was born into reality. The standard color for the MA-1, which was officially adopted by the US Air Force in the 1950s, was originally sage green, but there were no other authentic BLACK MA-1s on the market that were black and used military-spec parts and materials based on military specifications. As a result, it was well-received and became a hot topic among users who sought authenticity in the market. Even if each material is specified as black, the way it is dyed differs depending on the material, and when they are assembled into a single jacket, subtle differences in colour become apparent, making it clear how many different materials the flight jacket is made of.
