Buzz Rickson’s N-1 is a much lusted after garment with no sacrifices made when it comes to quality. The N-1 was standard issue for the US Navy during WWII and the Korean War, and has since found its way into civilian life. It’s simplistic versatility has allowed it to be taken on by new generations, and its timeless design has endured over the decades. This standard fit jacket has been cut from a 100% cotton and lined with a lustrously warm pile to ensure thermal protection. The vintage zipper is custom made and has been fully cotton bound, while the wind protection button plate boasts a series of durable urea buttons, and is finished with a throat plate which can be fastened to secure the collar and protect from arctic winds.
Two side entry pockets have been included for functionality and a draw string waist adjuster is met with knitted concealed cuffs to ensure the perfect fit. This khaki colour option was first introduced in 1945 and features some subtle changes to the navy blue version. The lining was removed for this khaki option from the armpit area to allow for a greater freedom of movement And comfort. The quality of the construction really speaks for itself and is clear to the touch. As an added badge of heritage authenticity, the brand have stencilled the iconic USN initials onto the left chest.
