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.
The N-3 utility jacket saw light for the first time in 1943 as part of a 4-piece utility uniform together with a shirt, trousers and cap. Lots of units was issued this uniform by the US navy - construction battalions, combat- and amphibious units among others. The N-3 jacket doesn't differ much from its predecessor the USMC P-1941 uniform jacket that also was made of Herringbone twill.
Johan is 173 cm tall with a weigh of 67 kilos and wears a size 36.
