Buzz Rickson’s Lot BR35857 / White Chambray SS Work Shirt
SGD159.00
The chambray shirt, adopted by the U.S. Navy, is a long-lasting utility shirt that has been issued continuously from the 1930s to the present day. This chambray shirt is a reproduction of the shirt adopted in the 1950s. While the style and specifications have changed over time, the shirts adopted from the beginning until the 1950s featured gussets on both sides of the hem, a stand collar, and a placket—the specifications of the good old days. The chambray fabric from this era has a loose tension, and repeated washing causes it to shrink, resulting in a unique texture. The white chambray is an original design by Buzz Rickson’s.

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 BR40025 / Original Spec. Chinos – Khaki
Military chino made with Buzz Rickson's original specifications. The fabric is a firm and strong cotton chino cloth reproduced from vintage. For the details, we analyzed chino pants from various eras and incorporated features such as the twin-needle stitching from the 1940s, handmade pockets on both sides, and the zipper fly from the 1960s. The silhouette is slimmer than the model at the time.
During World War I, soldiers' pants were jodhpur-style pants called "BREECHES," but during World War II, they changed to trousers (slacks) style, and were officially adopted by the Army Air Corps in 1937. However, the trousers that were initially issued were not well received by soldiers, and the military brought in private companies to improve quality. As a result of such repeated improvements, various types of military chino were born.

Buzz Rickson’s Lot BR42529 / Trousers, Shell, Field, M-51 Short Length
These cotton satin-lined field trousers were adopted by the U.S. Army in 1951. Around this time, the Army adopted the M-51 series' layered set-up system as cold-weather combat uniform. A wool field shirt and field trousers were worn over an undershirt and drawers, which were then topped off with a cotton field jacket and field pants. Both M-51s were designed with cold weather in mind, with a loose fit designed to trap body heat and keep out the outside air. The cord loop on the inside of the waistband was a detail for attaching the metal hooks at the ends of suspenders.
