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 with the goal to bring back old forgotten techniques and machines needed to make garments of outstanding quality without compromises.
This shirt was adopted by the US Air Force in the mid-1950s. While military shirts often feature tough materials commonly found in workwear, this shirt uses high-quality oxford cloth primarily used for button-down shirts. The design of the shirts is simple with a single chest pocket, and the hand-stamped marks on the hem and collar band. The selvage seen on the side gussets is a homage detail that can be seen on vintage original shirts produced in the US back in the days.
These shirts are are sized using their collar measurements rather than the "alpha sizing" (S, M, L etc) system. This is an older way of determining your correct shirt size from a time when a shirt was usually worn buttoned all the way up.
Douglas is 180 cm tall, weighs 87 kilos and wears a size L / 16. He combines the pants with a custom made denim hat and a pair of custom White's Dress Boots.
