Buzz Rickson

These men's casual cargo pants are made in Japan by Buzz Rickson, a brand renowned for its military-inspired clothing under Toyo Enterprises. They are a reproduction of the 1st Pattern US Army Vietnam Era Tropical Jungle trousers (TROUSERS, MEN'S, COMBAT TROPICAL DSA-1-2351-63-C). Buzz Rickson has expertly recreated the vintage aesthetics and classic details of these trousers, ensuring historical accuracy and nostalgic appeal with Buzz Rickson's craftsmanship for a timeless design with modern durability. These trousers are designed specifically for tropical climates and are crafted from 100% cotton lightweight poplin fabric in olive green (Army Shade 107). The material is non-stretch and features a durable, non-ripstop construction for practicality and comfort in warm conditions. As part of the finishing process, the garment is pre-washed (also known as one-wash) to minimize shrinkage and enhance comfort. These trousers feature a button fly closure with an inner flap, six exterior pockets (two front pockets, two back pockets with buttoned flaps, and two cargo pockets with buttoned flaps and internal leg ties), loops under the crotch for threading the leg ties, seven belt loops, a single-button side adjustment tab at the waistband, and drawstrings at the hems. These army fatigue combat pants are designed with a loose-fit, straight, wide-leg silhouette. They feature a button fly, a high-rise waist, and slightly tapered leg openings. The cut offers a high-waisted fit with a roomy, baggy feel through the seat, hips, and thighs, gradually tapering toward the hem for a balanced and comfortable look. These are a brand-new, original creation from Buzz Rickson, combining classic and vintage military style with Buzz Rickson's craftsmanship.

About Tropical Trousers:

Tropical Trousers (officially known as Trousers, Men's, Cotton Wind Resistant, Poplin, Olive Green Army, Shade 107) were standard-issue uniforms for the U.S. Army in the early 1960s and were widely used during the Vietnam War. Specifically designed for the hot and humid conditions of tropical rainforests, these trousers were made from lightweight, quick-drying cotton poplin fabric.

Key features included six pockets, leg ties stored in the cargo pockets, drawstrings at the hems, adjustable button tabs on the waistband for a customizable fit, and an inner flap on the button fly for added practicality.

Over time, the trousers underwent several design updates, resulting in three main variations:

First Model: Constructed from cotton poplin fabric, featuring exposed pocket buttons, leg ties stored within the cargo pockets, and loops under the crotch for threading the leg ties.

Second Model: Introduced ripstop fabric for added durability and switched to concealed pocket buttons.

Third Model: Simplified by removing both the leg ties and the crotch loops.

These updates reflected a continuous effort to enhance the functionality and performance of the trousers in challenging environments.
