Buzz Rickson Cotton Jersey Zip-Up Top Men's WWII USAAF Type C-2 Style Front Zip Cardigan with Rib Panel BR69444
Available Colors
This men's casual zip-front top is made in Japan and designed by Buzz Rickson, a respected military clothing brand under Toyo Enterprises. Inspired by the iconic 1940s WWII USAAF Type C-2 wool zip cardigan sweater, this version replicates many of the original details but has been updated from the wool knit fabric to a cotton jersey material for a less itchy feel and easier care, making it perfect for everyday wear. Buzz Rickson has recreated the vintage aesthetics of the C-2, ensuring nostalgic appeal, while using high-quality cotton jersey for a timeless, classic design with modern durability. Made from 100% cotton jersey fabric, this garment offers a comfortable feel, minimizing the itchiness often associated with wool knits. It is also easier to care for compared to wool, as it can be machine washed. The design features a zipper-front closure, side seam construction, raglan sleeves, long sleeves, a single open-top patch pocket near the front left hem, and a cotton rib-knit collar, cuffs, and waistband. The classic style is highlighted by longer ribbed cuffs and a waistband, giving it a vintage look. This product is available in Japanese (Asian) sizes and has a modern fit with a shorter length for a cropped appearance. For reference, a tagged Japan size M is better suited for those who typically wear a US/EU size S or 36. Buzz Rickson has updated the fit of this item to a more contemporary cut, giving it a stylish, casual look compared to the classic fit. This versatile and practical piece can be worn as a cardigan or as a layering option under a jacket. This item is a brand-new, original creation from Buzz Rickson, blending vintage military aesthetics with high-quality craftsmanship.
