Buzz Rickson Men's U.S. Army OG-107 Utility Shirt with Patches - John Lennon Model Reproduction - Made in Japan (BR29586 Olive)

Buzz Rickson

This men's casual camp-collar long-sleeve shirt is made in Japan by Buzz Rickson, a militarywear-focused brand under Toyo Enterprises renowned for its vintage-inspired craftsmanship. Part of Buzz Rickson's U.S. Army collection, this model is a modern reproduction of the iconic OG-107 utility shirt famously worn by John Lennon during his appearance on The Dick Cavett Show. Expertly crafted with the brand's signature attention to detail, it faithfully recreates the rugged character and distinctive patch design of the original OG-107 shirt, capturing its historical essence while offering contemporary wearability and visual appeal. The fabric of this shirt is made from 100% cotton, non-stretch, mediumweight back satin (satin-backed cloth). While the material maintains a rugged, military-inspired appearance, it is also supple and offers a soft, comfortable feel against the skin. Both the warp and weft yarns are dyed in Olive Green 107 (OG-107) and woven into a durable back-satin structure. This distinctive fabric displays a subtle horizontal grain pattern across the surface, characteristic of authentic military back satin. As part of the finishing process, the garment undergoes a one-wash treatment to reduce shrinkage and provide a naturally broken-in texture from the first wear. This shirt features long sleeves with set-in construction, a full front button closure with urea buttons, and a camp collar without a collar band. Additional details include single-button cuffs with cuff slits, two chest flap pockets with button closures (the left pocket includes two pen slots), no shoulder yoke, a one-piece back panel, and a straight-cut hem. Printed patches are sewn above both chest pockets, while embroidered patches are placed on the right chest pocket and both sleeves. This shirt is offered in U.S./EU sizes and features a relaxed, military-inspired fit that offers a comfortable silhouette. For reference, a tagged size 14 (14 1/2 x 31) generally corresponds to a U.S./EU size S-M (approximately size 36-38). This item is a brand-new original release from Buzz Rickson, combining vintage military aesthetics with the brand's signature craftsmanship.

Fabric Type: The fabric of this shirt is made from 100% cotton, non-stretch, mediumweight back satin (satin-backed cloth). While the material maintains a rugged, military-inspired appearance, it is also supple and offers a soft, comfortable feel against the skin. Both the warp and weft yarns are dyed in Olive Green 107 (OG-107) and woven into a durable back-satin structure. This distinctive fabric displays a subtle horizontal grain pattern across the surface, characteristic of authentic military back satin. As part of the finishing process, the garment undergoes a one-wash treatment to reduce shrinkage and provide a naturally broken-in texture from the first wear.

Closure Type (Placket): Traditional full-length front button closure with six round, four-hole urea buttons. The placket features horizontal buttonholes for secure fastening.

Pocket: Double chest flap pockets with button closures. The pockets are rectangular with pointed bottoms, and the flaps are pointed and secured by a single 4-hole button matching the shirt’s main buttons. The upper corners are bar-tacked for reinforcement. The left chest pocket features two slit openings on the flap for pens and includes an internal divider designed specifically for pen storage. * Please note that the height of the two chest pockets may vary slightly. This is an intentional detail, reflecting the authentic construction of vintage military garments.

Collar Type : The OG-107 utility shirt features a camp-style collar, also known as an open collar, constructed without a collar band (stand). This means the collar is directly attached to the neckline of the shirt body rather than being elevated by a separate stand piece, giving it a flat, relaxed profile. When worn with the top button undone, it forms a natural V-shaped neckline. Depending on personal preference, it can be worn either fully buttoned for a more structured look or open at the top for a relaxed, laid-back feel.

Back of the Shirt: The back is constructed from a single panel with no yoke or pleats, providing a clean, streamlined appearance and making it easy to iron.

Bottom Hem Type: Straight hem.

Sleeve Style: Set-in sleeves.

Sleeve Length: Long sleeves.

About the Patches: This shirt, adorned with multiple patches, is a faithful reproduction of the utility shirt worn by John Lennon during his appearance on The Dick Cavett Show. The original garment, which Lennon reportedly purchased from a military surplus store, had belonged to a real U.S. Army soldier named Reinhardt. Reinhardt served with the 2nd Infantry Division of the U.S. Army, stationed in Korea during the mid-1960s, where he carried out reconnaissance missions near the 38th parallel in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The shirt was distinguished by the “Imjin Scouts” patch, symbolizing his participation in these operations. John Lennon’s decision to wear this military shirt later became a powerful symbol of his anti-war beliefs and enduring message of peace and love.

Other Details: This garment has been specially treated to achieve a vintage-inspired appearance. Please note that any variations in color or texture are intentional and part of the garment’s design, reflecting the desired vintage look.
