BUZZ RICKSONS / William Gibson Collection Type Black N-1 Deck Jacket

BUZZ RICKSONS
Established in 1993, BUZZ RICKSONS is dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of flight jackets. Based on original military specifications, the brand meticulously recreates every detail, from yarn spinning and weaving to fabric materials, military hardware, and the overall silhouette. Each jacket is crafted with exceptional attention to detail, faithfully capturing the craftsmanship and enduring appeal of vintage flight jackets.



A Fictional Black Jacket, Brought to Life
The collection's story began with the fictional Buzz Rickson's Black MA-1 in William Gibson's novel Pattern Recognition. BUZZ RICKSON'S brought that fictional design to life by creating it as an actual garment.

This model brings the same vision to the N-1 deck jacket. The black outer fabric gives its military-inspired materials and functional details a refined, understated look.

The brown collar adds a subtle accent, keeping the overall palette understated even when paired with military trousers. A great choice for those who want to enjoy authentic military style as part of their everyday wardrobe.





Dependable Jungle Cloth for Winter Winds
The shell is made from heavyweight, densely woven jungle cloth. This robust fabric has a firm structure and subtle ridges across its surface, giving it a distinctive texture.

The N-1 was originally developed to protect naval crews exposed to cold sea winds. Its tightly woven, wind-resistant fabric is key to its functionality.

The distinctive texture of the jungle cloth gives depth to the all-black design, keeping it from looking  monotonous. It pairs naturally with textured pieces such as denim and leather footwear.



A plush alpaca mohair and wool pile lining traps air between the fibers, enveloping the body in warmth.

The outer fabric helps block cold wind while the lining retains warmth. Developed for harsh conditions at sea, this combination is equally dependable on winter walks through the city.





The distinctive brown collar serves as both a visual accent and a functional detail that helps keep the neck warm.



On windy days, raise the collar and fasten the chin strap to cover the neck. This also changes the jacket's appearance, allowing you to adapt it to the weather and your outfit.



A buttoned placket covers the front zipper, forming a double-layer closure that helps keep cold air out.

The TALON zipper features a leather pull tab for an easy grip. Even the smallest details reflect the functional design and practical appeal of military clothing.



Angled pockets on both sides offer easy access while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance.



Knitted inner cuffs fit snugly around the wrists. Together with the outer sleeves, they form a double layer that helps keep cold air out.

Hidden from view, the ribbing preserves the clean shape of the straight cuffs while enhancing protection against the cold.





An internal hem drawcord allows you to adjust the fit. Tightening it helps keep cold air from entering through the hem while giving you the flexibility to customize the silhouette.





The hip-length cut pairs naturally with wide-leg pants, creating a well-balanced silhouette. Paired with olive military trousers as shown, the black jacket grounds the outfit while complementing the rugged character of both pieces.

Let a light-colored T-shirt peek out at the neckline or finish the look with leather shoes. Small styling touches create a relaxed, understated look that blends naturally into the city. Whether browsing shops on a winter day or meeting friends for dinner, this N-1 jacket brings the enduring appeal of authentic military style into everyday life.
