The U. S. Navy often times found itself performing duties in some of the worst weather conditions imaginable, from stagnant boiling heat to cutting icy air.  During cold weather, various outer clothing was developed to protect and enable a sailor to perform his duties, one such item being the famous worsted-wool knit winter cap nicknamed the “watch cap,” because sailors, often times, stood their watches wearing these caps.  The “watch caps” of the 1930's and 1940's have a unique construction style and are made from a more dense worsted-wool knit than similar caps from the late 1950's to the present day.

Buzz Rickson’s has, yet again, done a masterful job of recreating this classic style, right down to the correct old-style USN quartermaster stores spec. label correctly sewn to the outside of the cap, and the proper weight wool with the narrow weave on the outer edge graduating into the thicker, heavier weave of the cap body.  This cap is every bit as warm and good looking as the vintage examples it copies, and its the ticket to round out a Buzz Rickson’s USN chambray shirt and Pea Coat.

This all-time classic shirt jacket has become universally known as a “CPO Shirt," though the actual application of this garment was not limited to U. S. Navy Chief Petty Officers.  The shirt was developed for cold-weather work duty in the 1930's and, in practice, could be worn even by officers.  The style evolved over the years, eventually having two breast pockets both with open tops and with pocket flaps, but the 1st version is immediately identifiable by the single breast pocket with scalloped pocket flap. Scores of these shirts were produced to meet the needs of the U. S. Navy during WWII.  The clean, simple, practical  design of the shirt, particularly this one-pocket version, and its hard-wearing, cozy, wool-flannel construction met with a very favorable reception by the sailors to whom it was issued.  After WWII, the “CPO Shirts,” as they came to be called, were widely worn among the civilian population of the USA due to the vast number of discharged sailors who continued to wear their issue shirts and the availability of issue garments sold via Army/Navy surplus stores. 

The popularity of this “CPO Shirt” design grew increasingly in the post-WWII decades, being offered for sale in the 1960's and 1970's in a variety of colors and even in plaid prints, sold by such big-name American retailers as Sears and Roebuck, J. C. Penney, and Montgomery Ward, though it was the later jacket version with two square-edged flap pockets these retailers marketed vs. the one-pocket 1st model. 

There has been a moderate resurgence in the last decade or so of some of the garments associated with the 1960's and 1970's and the “CPO Shirt” has been offered in various forms by today’s bigger names in the fashion industry, though the garments themselves pale in qualitative comparison to those from the 1930's – 1950's - except this Buzz Rickson’s masterpiece!

Once again, Buzz Rickson’s brand has resurrected a bygone treasure from the ground up, utilizing the vintage looms and know-how to craft fabrics not seen in 50 years or more, then deftly sewing the pieces together with vintage Union Special sewing machines to provide a finished product that comes as close to the vintage garment as possible.  What we end up with is a “CPO Shirt” that transcends fashion by light years and bolts straight to the heart of classic style through the very functionality of the original design that has been so deftly reproduced.  The weight and quality of the wool, the fine details such as the twill-backed frontal closure, chain-stitched runoff with gusset on the shirttail, collar stand, and the simple clean lines of the 1st model with one scalloped-flap pocket all speak loudly about the production and design mindsets behind this gallant reproduction.  This is top-quality vintage craftsmanship irreplaceable at any price – this is Buzz Rickson’s.  Please take note of these authentic features:  

• Exact copy of original U. S. Naval Clothing Factory contract label design printed on cotton

• Custom manufacturing of the correct, heavy-weight, wool-flannel on vintage looms, and due to the extremely high quality of this wool, it's not scratchy or itchy to bare skin

The U. S. Navy developed and used many different styles of cold-weather gear and clothing during the 1940s. A sailor’s duties are very often performed in the most challenging and harsh weather conditions while at sea, thus clothing needed to be durable, warm and functional. Winter jackets, commonly referred to as “Deck Jackets,” became the most cherished clothing articles of sailors during WWII and among collectors today. Most of the deck jackets used in WWII evolved from a blue zip-front design that was very similar in appearance to the U. S. Army’s Winter Combat Jacket (Tanker Jacket). By late 1943, the second version of this Deck Jacket design was being phased out of production and an entirely new design was being brought into use.

This all-new jacket of late 1943 took into account the lessons learned from two hard years of warfare at sea. Though still manufactured with the same dark blue heavy corded cotton outer shell as on earlier examples, alpaca fur was now used as the lining material and the torso length grew longer for greater protection from the elements. The knit collar was replaced with an alpaca fur collar and also gone were the knit waist bands, exposed knit cuffs and patch pockets of the old jackets, all of which tended to snag on various objects or parts of a ship and cause tearing. A new cuff design incorporated the knit cuff hidden up inside the sleeve, thus keeping the knit from snagging while still keeping out the cold wind, and the frontal jacket closure was now facilitated by a zipper as well as buttons. A drawstring at the jacket’s bottom edges kept the wind out more effectively than the old knit band all the while eliminating the snagging problem associated with the knit bands, and gusseted armpit areas with eyelet vents provided greater freedom of movement and rapid drying of built-up perspiration. This new style was produced in very small numbers and but for a very brief period before being superceded in 1944 by a second version manufactured in a light olive drab color of the same corded fabric. The newer 1944 style produced in light olive drab had some features deleted that were incorporated in its earlier blue sibling but now determined to be unnecessary, though it is the blue version of this deck jacket, now referred to by collectors as the Blue N-1 Jacket, that clearly saw more prolific action on D-Day and is the most scarce style today of the four major USN deck jacket styles of WWII.

The N-1-style Deck Jacket is an all-American classic that looks as great today as it did in 1943, and it functions with many different clothing applications - surely this will fast become a favorite item in your wardrobe. Scorn the cookie-cutter look of “mall” jackets and grab a piece of 20th century American history that combines style with durability and utility.

This Buzz Rickson’s USN blue N-1-style Deck Jacket copy superbly captures all of the nuances and features found on a vintage original example from 1943. Take note of these authentic features:

• Exact copy of original USN contract label design printed on cotton fabric

• Exact duplication of the original silver-grey stencil property mark “U. S. NAVY” applied across back between shoulders

• Custom manufacturing of the correct, heavy, corded-cotton outer shell to precisely match USN specs. and dyed navy blue

• Cotton thread construction

• Custom manufacturing of the correct, double-faced, grey-hued alpaca fur-and-wool lining to precisely match 1940s USN specs

• Two external slash pockets

• Drawstring cords at jacket bottom to seal out the wind

Buzz Rickson’s took their ever-popular, adroitly re-created N-1 Blue Deck Jacket and introduced it in an even-heavier version.

By late 1943, the second version of this Deck Jacket design was being phased out of production and an entirely new design was being brought into use:  the N-1.

This all-new jacket took into account the lessons learned from two hard years of warfare at sea. Though still manufactured with the same dark blue corded-cotton outer shell as on earlier examples, alpaca fur was now used as the lining material and the torso length grew longer for greater protection from the elements.

Produced in very small numbers and but for a brief period, this new design was quickly superceded by a second version manufactured in a light olive drab color (now commonly called khaki) of the same heavy, corded fabric. The fabric color was changed from blue to this shade of olive drab to better enable camouflaging of USN personnel both at sea and on landing operations. This newer-colored version of the winter deck jacket was available in limited numbers by the spring of 1944 and photo documentation clearly reveals some sailors, including Rear Admiral A. D. Struble onboard the command ship USS AUGUSTA, outfitted with this jacket style during the D-Day landings in Normandy, France on 6 June 1944.

The deck jacket was modified again after WWII, with the most notable difference being the change in color from light olive drab to a dark olive green.  Further modifications were made to the design before being completely phased out in the 1960s, thus making the N-1-style deck jacket the longest serving in the U. S. Navy, and possible the best remembered.

Standardized by the Army Air Corps in 1938 as an intermediate glove, the Type A-10 instantly became a favorite among pilots and aircrew.  Buzz Rickson’s has deftly recreated this classic style using a tough, seal brown goatskin shell, camel-colored wool lining, brown knit cuff (for keeping the wind out), authentic woven label and AAF decal.  The durability of the premium imported goatskin and the cotton-thread assembly take you where few gloves can these days; we have staff members who have been wearing the same pair of these A-10 gloves every winter since 1993!  The Buzz Rickson’s A-10 is indistinguishable from the vintage examples.  This attention to detail transcends recreating a bygone artifact just for the sake of satisfying the serious historian or collector; making items that faithfully recreate bygone articles of clothing from the “Good Old Days” provides the added benefit of extreme product durability and longevity since the items being copied were born in an era when things had to last by necessity.  Buzz Rickson’s obsessively recreates vintage items to perfection and the novelty of the achievement is no more important than recreating practical functionality and longevity once considered commonplace back in the “Good Old Days.”  We are offering sizes 9 1/2 and 10 that have been exclusively produced by Buzz Rickson’s for the N.
