Buzz Rickson Tropical Jacket Men's US Vietnam War Jungle Fatigue Jacket BR12247 Olive

This men's casual lightweight cotton jacket is crafted in Japan by Buzz Rickson, a brand renowned for its military-inspired clothing under Toyo Enterprises. It is a faithful reproduction of the iconic U.S. Army 1964 1st-Model Tropical Jacket (COAT, MAN'S, COMBAT, TROPICAL DSA-1-2960-64-C), also known as the 1st Pattern Jungle Fatigue Jacket from the Vietnam War era. Buzz Rickson has expertly recreated the jacket's vintage aesthetics, ensuring historical accuracy and nostalgic appeal, while using high-quality materials for a timeless design with modern durability. The fabric is unlined, single-layer, and made from 100% lightweight cotton poplin. It is a thin, high-density weave that offers excellent durability. Designed for wear in hot, humid tropical rainforests, the fabric is lightweight and quick-drying, combining toughness with a flexible feel for comfortable wear. It features a full-button closure with 6 buttons on the front, including a hidden 5-button placket. It has an integrated internal flap for protection, and four exterior pockets - two expandable chest pockets with drain holes and pencil slots, and two large cargo pockets. The jacket includes a notched collar, adjustable sleeve cuffs, shoulder epaulets, and waist adjustment tabs. This product is offered in Japanese (Asian) sizes and features a modern fit. For reference, a tagged Japan size M is better suited for those who typically wear a US/EU size S-M or 36-38. Buzz Rickson has updated the fit of this jacket to a more contemporary cut, giving it a stylish, casual look compared to the classic fit. Designed as a versatile and practical lightweight outerwear piece, it's ideal for both spring and fall.
