Words

There isn't too much better than a nice washed out tiger camo. Buzz Rickson's seem to have it down, and after making a really nice M-65 last fall, they have released this pair of Type 2 shorts featuring the same fabric.

Words

There has always been something about N-1 jackets that have always struck a strong cord with me, the functionality, the silhouette, and the heritage are all aspects of this Buzz Rickson coat that make it work for me. Visually, the durability looks like it could handle itself through various weather elements and outdoor conditions. The khaki colour and darker toned lining work nicely together, the details that I appreciate haven't been overlooked and that's to be expected coming from Buzz Rickson.

Buzz Rickson's CPO Shirt

I've recently got a pretty bad hankering for a navy CPO shirt. There are quite a few options out there including hunting down a vintage model, although finding one in good shape with a relatively flattering cut might be a difficult task. With all of the new brands making their versions, I find myself drawn to one of the best repro-labels, Buzz Rickson's. Their navy boiled wool version comes as close to the real thing as I could need. The anchor buttons, cut of the pockets, placket lining and general demeanor of the shirt are perfect. There are only a couple left at Self Edge right now, along with a great white chambray I am anxiously awaiting for now.

Buzz Rickson's CPO Shirt

I can't get enough Navy lately. While this Buzz Rickson's Chief Petty Officer shirt hails from the standard garb of a naval officer, I was talking the colour though. Deep navy blue is definitely the fall colour of choice around here and this shirt is no exception. Made from reduced worsted wool, the soft wool is nice and comfortable as well as being good and sturdy for warmth. A great combo for the winter. The singular flap pocket has a nice scalloped shape to it and offers solid front details and the tonal stitching and black naval buttons top things off nicely. Being Buzz Rickson's, it's as authentic to the original as possible but the fit has been modified slightly for the better. Chain stitch construction throughout means the quality is second to none (and the run-off stitching adds a little more character) but that's to be expected coming from Toyo Enterprises. available at Blue in Green
