Buzz Rickson’s Lot BR79437 / Miss Dallas T-Shirt – White

These field trousers, made from cotton satin fabric used on the reverse side, were adopted by the US Army in 1951. Around this time, the Army adopted the M-51 series setup layering system as combat uniform for cold weather. 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.
