BUZZ RICKSONS
BUZZ RICKSONS / Tropical Combat Jungle Fatigue Jacket
This jacket is a reissue of the “Jungle Fatigue Jacket,” a tropical field uniform adopted by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. This version recreates the rare first edition model, which was produced for only about one year between 1963 and 1964.
We have faithfully reproduced the fabric and details characteristic of the first model, including cotton poplin fabric, a front placket, flap pockets with exposed buttons, epaulettes, and waist adjustment tabs.
The Fatigue Jacket is highly regarded for its practicality and ease of wear—it can be thrown on just like a shirt. It’s a versatile piece that’s easy to wear, not only for discerning military enthusiasts but also for those new to military fashion.

BUZZ RICKSONS
Founded in 1993, this brand is dedicated to preserving the history and pride of flight jackets. Each reproduction is meticulously crafted based on original military specifications—from yarn spinning and fabric development to authentic military parts and overall silhouette—faithfully recreating the enduring appeal of vintage flight jackets through uncompromising craftsmanship.
Built for the jungle, refined for everyday wear
The fabric is a lightweight cotton poplin originally designed for combat in tropical jungle environments—thin, breathable, and easy to move in.
With excellent ventilation, quick-drying, and moisture-wicking properties, it adapts well to Japan’s hot and humid climate. Its smooth touch and soft texture enhance overall comfort.
Woven at a high density, the fabric surface carries a subtle sheen, lending a refined impression to what is otherwise a rugged military shirt.
Faithfully reproducing military specifications
The front features a dual-flap design with inner and outer layers, secured with buttons.
The gusseted flap pockets are designed to prevent the loss of supplies or magazines, complete with drainage holes—details that reflect practical military ingenuity.
The chest pockets are angled for easy access, and the pen slots remain true to the original design.
Epaulettes on both shoulders, waist adjustment tabs, cuff adjusters, and glossy buttons—all faithfully reproduced down to the finest detail.
Constructed without lining, it offers a light, easy wearing experience.
The silhouette provides a comfortable amount of room through the shoulders and body, while maintaining a clean, streamlined look. Effortlessly thrown over a T-shirt, it creates a relaxed style; paired with a shirt or slacks, it takes on a more refined presence.
