The Tanker jacket, adopted by the U.S. Army for armored units in 1941, has a simple design to ensure ease of movement and prevent snagging in the confined space of a tank. Its streamlined appearance and appropriate thermal insulation continue to garner strong support even today.

<WILLIAM GIBSON COLLECTION>
The Buzz Rickson's Black MA-1 was first produced when Buzz Rickson's celebrated its 10th anniversary. The renowned novelist William Gibson's novel, "Pattern Recognition," features the phrase "Buzz Rickson's Black MA-1" worn by the protagonist. From that novel, the actual Buzz Rickson's Black MA-1 was born. The standard color for the MA-1, formally adopted by the U.S. Air Force in the 1950s, was originally sage green. However, there was no black MA-1 in existence that was based on military specifications, using military-grade parts and materials. Therefore, it became popular and well-received by authentic users in the market. Even when instructing all materials to be dyed black, the dye absorption varies depending on the material. When these are combined into a single jacket, subtle color differences emerge, making it clear how many different materials a flight jacket is composed of.

Buzz Rickson's is a military brand owned by Toyo Enterprise, which also carries vintage American casual brands such as Sugar Cane and Sun Surf. The company's relationship with military items dates back to its predecessor, Koshō Shōji, which supplied souvenir jackets (such as sukajan) to U.S. military bases. In 1993, they released their first flight jacket. Since then, their faithfully reproduced military wear, like Sun Surf's Hawaiian shirts and Sugar Cane's denim wear, are all perfectly crafted.
