The Japanese brand Buzz Rickson's are today counted among the few high-end reproduction manufacturers of military and casual garments in the world! They strive to make true replicas by carefully researching and analyzing original vintage garments, taking great care to duplicate the material while paying close attention to technique and quality. Their goal is to bring back old forgotten techniques and machines needed to make garments of outstanding quality without compromises.

This is Buzz Rickson's version of the pullover used by the US Navy in the 40s known as the gunner smock. Originally intended to be worn as a protective outer layer worn on top of the other garments. The oversized hood is shaped to wear on top of a helmet and even if you do not, it sure gets an interesting shape. The parka has a single pocket with a pocket flap. It's overlapped at the front buttons for extra protection. Thats the origin of the name "Gas Protective". The smock has a draw string around the hood and one at the waist. It can also be tightened around the neck by tying the two straps located on each side.

Johan is 173 cm tall, weighs 67 kilos and wears a size S.
