Buzz Rickson’s Lot BR02536 / Cap Mechanic Type A-3
The Type A-3 cap was adopted in 1942 for Army Air Corps mechanics. In the winter season, the standard style was to wear a mouton D-1 jacket over a herringbone twill suit (connector) and wear an A-3 cap. Looking at photos from the time of World War II, I found that the mechanics wore a uniform style in which the brim was lifted upwards, which prevented the brim from colliding with the fuselage when forced to work in a narrow space.

Buzz Rickson’s Lot BR12744 / US NAVY Dungaree Jumper
This denim utility jacket was adopted by the US Navy in the 1930s. Its official name is a dungaree jumper, and the warp threads are dyed with a dark indigo dye to hide stains from work, while the weft threads are made of twisted heather yarn. The buttons are fastened with a G-ring from the back, which is called a "change button." Unlike tuck buttons, they do not require special fastening tools, and since they are not fastened with threads, they have a rational detail that prevents them from falling off due to thread breakage. The collar is a shawl collar with no tip, so that it will not flap even when exposed to strong winds when working on the deck of a ship, and the back of the collar is cut on the bias, so after repeated washing, a unique distortion appears as wrinkles, giving it a deep flavor.

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.
