The jacket reproduces the later U.S. Navy WEP winter flying-suit configuration made to the MIL-S-18342C specification, commonly referred to as the C-Type and associated with the 1972 model. Its construction combines an Olive plain-weave nylon shell, a full cotton-canvas lining, a nylon-and-polyester pile interlining, a wool rib-knit collar and cuffs, distinctive V-shaped cuff-to-sleeve junctions, an action back for increased shoulder mobility, a SCOVILL-marked brass zipper with a horsehide pull tab, an internal wind flap, large flap-covered front patch pockets, a left upper-sleeve utility pocket, and a gathered fabric-covered waistband. Four internal attachment tabs reflect the jacket's original role as the upper component of a two-piece winter flying suit designed to connect with matching trousers. The pile interlining adds insulation, thickness, and volume through the body and sleeves, while the gathered waist and tapered knit cuffs help create the rounded silhouette characteristic of the later WEP design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cb\u003eSize and Fit Guide:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nGender: Men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe jacket has a classic flight-jacket fit, with generous room through the body and sleeves combined with a comparatively short body length. Rather than using an excessively broad shoulder width, it creates volume through its roomy chest, full armholes and upper sleeves, compact length, and gathered waistband, which draws the hem inward around the waist. Together, these elements give the upper body a rounded, three-dimensional silhouette characteristic of traditional flight jackets.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe jacket has an insulating layer between the shell and lining, giving the body and sleeves noticeably more thickness and structure than lightweight-zone flight jackets such as L-2 styles, which do not use comparable insulation. At the same time, the insulation occupies some of the internal wearing space, so although the jacket appears full and voluminous from the outside, the actual fit is not excessively loose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nActual fit will vary depending on body type, the thickness of the layers worn underneath, and personal fit preference.

This model reproduces the later WEP configuration associated with the MIL-S-18342C specification and the 1972 model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe WEP was developed as the jacket component of a two-piece U.S. Navy winter flying suit used in conjunction with corresponding trousers. Unlike a conventional stand-alone jacket, the original system was conceived so that the upper and lower garments could be physically connected. This relationship is preserved on the reproduction through attachment tabs installed inside the lower body of the jacket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe WEP evolved through successive specification revisions, with MIL-S-18342C representing the final C-Type configuration. BR15947 incorporates a number of details associated with this later form, including its olive-colored nylon shell, insulated construction, distinctive V-shaped knit cuff junctions, bi-swing action back, fabric-covered elasticized waistband, large front pockets, upper-sleeve utility pocket, and internal trouser-attachment system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Nylon Plain-Weave Outer Shell\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe outer shell is made from 100% nylon woven in a plain-weave construction. In plain weave, the lengthwise warp yarns and crosswise weft yarns pass alternately over and under one another, creating a compact and evenly interlaced textile structure without the diagonal ribs of a twill weave or the reinforcement grid of ripstop fabric.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe resulting surface is fine, dense, and relatively smooth. Rather than having the hard, board-like hand sometimes associated with more rigid nylon fabrics, this shell has a softer and more pliable character that allows it to flex naturally with the movement of the garment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe nylon does not have a bright or highly reflective finish. Instead, the surface shows a subdued, matte luster that changes subtly according to the direction of the light and viewing angle. Fine natural wrinkles in the fabric, together with light puckering around stitched areas, add dimensional variation to the otherwise smooth woven surface.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEarlier WEP configurations are associated with a comparatively lighter Leaf Green appearance, while the later C-Type is characterized by a stronger olive-green tone. This deeper olive coloration is one of the visual elements that distinguishes the later WEP configuration reproduced by this jacket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull 100% Cotton Canvas Lining\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe interior is fully lined from the body through the sleeves with 100% cotton canvas. Although described as canvas, the lining has a comparatively soft and smooth surface rather than the exceptionally stiff or coarse hand associated with very heavy utility canvas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe lining forms a continuous textile layer between the wearer's clothing and the enclosed insulating material. Its relatively smooth surface helps reduce friction against shirts, sweaters, and other layers worn underneath, allowing the jacket to slide more easily over the body during dressing and removal and reducing resistance when the arms move inside the sleeves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIn addition to providing the finished interior surface of the jacket, the cotton lining also serves as the mounting surface for internal components such as the identification label and trouser-attachment tabs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e70% Nylon \/ 30% Polyester Pile Insulation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBetween the nylon outer shell and cotton lining is an insulating pile layer composed of 70% nylon and 30% polyester. The pile construction creates numerous small air spaces within the thickness of the material. These trapped pockets of air form an insulating layer that helps reduce the loss of body heat through the garment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nUnlike a thin shell jacket in which the outer fabric and lining lie relatively close together, the pile insulation adds measurable thickness between the two layers. This produces additional loft and structural volume through both the torso and sleeves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe insulation therefore affects not only thermal performance but also the physical shape of the jacket. It gives the body and sleeves a fuller, more dimensional form and contributes directly to the rounded, substantial silhouette associated with the WEP flight-jacket design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLong Set-In Sleeve Construction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe jacket uses conventional set-in sleeves. Each shaped sleeve is sewn into a defined armhole in the body, establishing a clear structural division between the shoulder section and sleeve rather than extending diagonally toward the neckline as in raglan construction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBecause the sleeves contain the same insulated layered construction as the body, they retain three-dimensional volume from the shoulder through the upper arm and forearm. The sleeve gradually narrows toward the rib-knit cuff, allowing the fuller insulated upper section to transition into a more closely fitted wrist opening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCOVILL-Marked Brass Front Zipper with Horsehide Pull Tab\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe front opening is secured by a metal zipper using brass hardware. The zipper slider carries the \"SCOVILL\" marking, reproducing the utilitarian metal-fastener character associated with military flight garments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA horsehide leather extension tab is attached to the metal zipper pull. By increasing the amount of material available to grasp, the leather tab provides a larger and more tactile operating surface than the metal pull alone. This makes the zipper easier to locate and manipulate, particularly when dexterity is reduced by gloves or cold-weather clothing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe horsehide tab also separates the user's fingers from direct contact with the relatively small metal pull while preserving the straightforward mechanical construction of the front closure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull-Length Interior Wind Flap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA separate wind flap is positioned vertically behind the front zipper and extends along the opening. This additional layer sits directly behind the zipper elements, where small gaps would otherwise provide a relatively direct path for outside air to enter the interior of the jacket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBy placing another textile barrier behind the zipper, the construction helps reduce direct airflow through the center-front opening and limits cold air penetration into the garment. The flap also separates the metal zipper assembly from clothing worn underneath.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMultiple parallel rows of longitudinal stitching run along the wind flap. These stitch lines stabilize the layered construction, control shifting between the joined materials, and help the flap retain its narrow, elongated shape along the zipper opening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Wool Rib-Knit Collar with Buttoned Throat Strap\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe collar is made from 100% wool rib knit. Compared with the woven nylon body panels, the knitted structure provides greater flexibility and elasticity, allowing the collar to be worn folded down or raised around the neck.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA separate throat strap is attached to the left side of the collar. One end of the strap is permanently sewn to the collar, while a worked buttonhole is formed at the opposite end. A corresponding button is positioned on the right collar.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhen the collar is raised, the strap can be extended across the front of the neck and secured to the button on the opposite side. This holds the collar in a stand-collar position and closes the open area around the throat more effectively, thereby increasing protection against direct airflow at the neckline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhen the throat strap is not being used, it can be secured to a retaining button on the left collar. This keeps the loose strap controlled against the collar instead of allowing it to hang freely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003e100% Wool V-Shaped Rib-Knit Cuffs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe sleeve cuffs are also made from 100% wool rib knit. Unlike a conventional rib-knit cuff attached to the sleeve as a relatively straight band around the wrist, this construction incorporates a tapered extension of knit that projects upward into the lower sleeve.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAs the knit section narrows toward the upper sleeve, its junction with the surrounding nylon shell forms a long V-shaped outline. The V therefore occurs at the interface between the woven sleeve and knitted cuff rather than as an open slit at the wrist edge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis arrangement is intended to reduce excessive bulk where the insulated sleeve transitions into the wrist. Instead of carrying the full thickness of the padded woven sleeve directly to the cuff opening, part of the lower sleeve area is replaced by more flexible knitted material.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe construction allows the full, insulated sleeve to taper more naturally toward the wrist while the rib knit conforms more closely around the wearer's arm. This distinctive V-shaped cuff treatment is one of the recognizable construction details associated with the later C-Type WEP configuration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eBi-Swing Action Back for Shoulder Mobility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAction pleats, also known as a bi-swing back, are incorporated at both sides of the rear body near the back armholes. The construction places additional fabric inside folded sections that remain relatively flat when the arms are in a neutral position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhen the wearer reaches forward, the folds can open and release this concealed fabric, temporarily increasing the effective width across the upper back and rear shoulder area. When less extension is required, the additional material returns into the folded structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis allows the jacket to maintain a comparatively compact body length while still providing additional room for forward arm movement. The system is particularly useful in a flight-jacket design, where freedom of movement through the shoulders and upper back must coexist with a short, controlled body silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFabric-Covered Elasticized Gathered Waistband\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe lower edge of the jacket does not use the exposed rib-knit waistband commonly seen on designs such as the MA-1. Instead, the WEP uses an elasticized waistband covered with fabric matching the general character of the outer shell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nMultiple horizontal rows of stitching run through the waistband, visually dividing it into narrow channels while stabilizing the gathered construction. The elasticized structure draws the comparatively roomy lower body inward around the waist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis reduces the open circumference at the hem, controls excess volume through the lower torso, and helps keep the jacket closer to the body around the waist. Combined with the broad insulated body and sleeves, the gathered waistband contributes substantially to the characteristic rounded WEP silhouette, with volume concentrated through the upper body and controlled at the lower edge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eGusseted Front Patch Pockets with Concealed Snap Closures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLarge patch pockets are positioned on both front body panels. Each pocket is covered by a broad flap whose lower edges angle downward from both sides and meet at a central downward-facing point.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe flaps are secured by concealed snap fasteners. Because the snaps are hidden beneath the flaps, the exterior surfaces remain visually clean while the pockets can still be positively closed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe upper edge of each pocket body is constructed so that it folds inward as the flap is opened and closed. This allows the pocket opening to move with the flap rather than remaining as a completely rigid horizontal edge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nAdditional fabric is incorporated along the lower and outer portions of the pocket body to form gussets. These gusseted sections allow the pocket to expand outward when contents are inserted, giving it greater usable internal volume than a completely flat patch pocket while allowing it to lie closer to the jacket when lightly loaded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nOn the wearer's left front pocket, a small buttonhole-shaped opening is positioned near the inner edge toward the front zipper. This opening is intended to accept a pen, providing a narrow dedicated access point separate from the primary pocket opening.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeft Upper-Sleeve Utility Pocket with Raw-Cut Flap Interior\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA vertically oriented utility pocket is sewn onto the outside of the left upper sleeve. The pocket is covered by a rectangular flap and secured by a concealed snap fastener positioned beneath the flap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis placement provides an additional storage compartment on the upper arm without interrupting the large front body pockets. The concealed fastening maintains the simple exterior profile of the flap while keeping the pocket opening secured.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe underside of the sleeve-pocket flap intentionally retains a raw-cut fabric edge rather than using a fully turned and clean-finished edge treatment. This simplified construction reflects the direct, utilitarian sewing methods associated with military garments, where functional assembly and efficient material use take priority over decorative interior finishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour Interior Trouser-Attachment Tabs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nFour short woven tape tabs are installed around the lower interior of the jacket. Each tab incorporates a worked buttonhole so that it can engage with the corresponding fastening points on the matching trousers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThese tabs are a direct reminder that the WEP was originally conceived as the upper half of a two-piece winter flying suit rather than solely as an independent outer jacket. Connecting the upper and lower garments helps maintain their relationship during movement and prevents the jacket and trousers from separating as freely as completely independent pieces.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA separate short woven tape loop is also positioned at the lower end of the internal wind flap. This component is distinct from the four buttonhole-equipped trouser-attachment tabs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThis product is sold as the jacket only. Matching trousers are not included.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eReproduction Military-Style Identification Label and Hanger Loop\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nA reproduction identification label is sewn inside the back neck area. Its layout and typography follow the general format associated with period military garment labels and reproduce a series of specification, identification, and procurement-style markings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe visible wording includes \"JACKET - SUITS, FLYING, WINTER,\" \"MIL-S-18342 C (WEP),\" \"8415-286-7970,\" \"BUZZ RICKSON MFG. CO., INC.,\" and \"DSA 100-72-C-1243.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThese markings reproduce the visual language of military garment identification, including the item designation, specification reference, stock-number-style identifier, manufacturer-style name, and contract-style number. The label therefore functions not merely as modern branding but also as part of the historical presentation of the reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nA separate hanger loop is installed directly above the label, providing a convenient point from which the jacket can be hung without placing the full weight of the garment on the collar itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eLater MIL-S-18342C Type WEP Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBR15947 combines the principal construction elements associated with the later Type WEP configuration: a plain-weave nylon outer shell, full cotton-canvas lining, nylon-and-polyester pile insulation, wool rib-knit collar and V-shaped cuffs, SCOVILL-marked brass zipper, internal wind flap, bi-swing action back, fabric-covered gathered waistband, gusseted front pockets, left upper-sleeve utility pocket, and internal trouser-attachment system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nTogether, these components reproduce the layered, insulated, and equipment-oriented character of the MIL-S-18342C-period WEP while preserving the compact body length, substantial sleeve volume, controlled waist, and rounded profile that distinguish this U.S. Navy flight-jacket design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nBuzz Rickson's by Toyo Enterprises \/ Lot No. BR15947 \/ Type WEP \"BUZZ RICKSON MFG.

The garment combines multiple materials and construction layers, including the nylon shell, cotton lining, pile insulation, wool knit components, leather zipper pull, elasticized sections, and metal hardware.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nExposure to water, detergent, mechanical agitation, heat, or unsuitable cleaning solvents may cause different components to react at different rates. Possible changes include dimensional distortion, shrinkage, loss of loft, deformation of the insulated body or sleeves, changes to the knitted components, puckering, uneven surface appearance, or alteration of the jacket's overall silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe fabrics and construction are intentionally developed to reproduce the character of period military garments rather than to provide the dimensional stability of modern easy-care outerwear. For this reason, aggressive cleaning may significantly alter the shape, texture, and appearance that are integral to the design of the jacket.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIf localized soiling occurs, spot cleaning may be considered instead of cleaning the entire garment. A small amount of neutral detergent may be diluted with water and applied carefully with a clean cloth to the affected area. Do not saturate the fabric unnecessarily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nEven spot cleaning may cause a localized difference in color, sheen, texture, or surface appearance. Before treating a visible area, test the cleaning method on a small, inconspicuous section of the garment and allow it to dry completely before proceeding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nFor significant stains, widespread soiling, or any situation in which the appropriate treatment is uncertain, we recommend consulting a professional cleaner before attempting to clean the garment yourself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n- Our inventory is shared among our physical retail store and multiple online stores, so inventory updates may not always be reflected immediately on each website.\u003cbr\u003e\n- Even after an order has been placed, an item may occasionally be sold out due to the timing of simultaneous purchases. We sincerely appreciate your understanding.\u003cbr\u003e\n- All measurements are taken manually with the garment laid flat and measured using a tape measure. Because individual garments may vary and measurement methods may differ, slight measurement discrepancies may occur.\u003cbr\u003e\n- The actual color of the product may appear slightly different from the photographs depending on the lighting conditions during photography and the settings of your monitor or display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n","brand":"RODEO-JAPAN Pine-Avenue Clothes shop","offers":[{"title":"Tagged Size 36","offer_id":48347704328428,"sku":"br15947-149-olive-36","price":78000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tagged Size 38","offer_id":48347704361196,"sku":"br15947-149-olive-38","price":78000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tagged Size 40","offer_id":48347704393964,"sku":"br15947-149-olive-40","price":78000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tagged Size 42","offer_id":48347704426732,"sku":"br15947-149-olive-42","price":78000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true},{"title":"Tagged Size 44","offer_id":48347704459500,"sku":"br15947-149-olive-44","price":78000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0415\/4343\/4396\/files\/br15947-01.jpg?v=1789185027","url":"https:\/\/rodeo-japan-pine-avenue.com\/ru\/products\/buzz-ricksons-mens-type-wep-flight-jacket-mil-s-18342c-u-s-navy-reproduction-br15947-olive","provider":"RODEO-JAPAN Pine-Avenue Clothes shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
