Eschew the soccer-mom look and grab something that actually fits well and is made of high-quality fabric meant to hold up over years of wear and laundering!  

Buzz Rickson's premium, vintage-style, all-cotton athletic sweatpants are made from medium-weight, 100% cotton fabricated on 1920's-vintage loop-wheeling machines, styled with all the correct features found on the old sweatpants and cut to hug the body in a flattering form without bulk, just as the vintage originals did.  Limited quantities available.  Take note of these authentic vintage styling features:

• Custom manufacturing of the medium-weight, all-cotton fleece fabricated on vintage loop-wheeling looms
• Vintage wash
• USAF Langley Air Force Base logo silk screened to the left upper thigh in a muted, non-plastisol ink to duplicate the look and feel of vintage ink types
• One side-entry pocket per leg
• Heavy-weight, all-cotton draw ties at each cuff opening and waist
• Exact copy of the original-style rayon-on-cotton labels
• True vintage fit for flattering appearance, not a sloppy, relaxed fit with saggy rear and baggy legs

A note on loop-wheeling looms:

Loop-wheeling looms are special machines that were once common decades ago and able to weave even rows of small loops of yarn on the inner fabric side rather than the typical fleece we see on contemporary sweatshirt and pant interiors that have much more of a solid, flat appearance.  These old looms also can only weave one set diameter per loom; this means the factory needs a different loom for each size - very expensive - which is why you hardly ever see true tube construction in modern-day garments.  Tube construction ensures true shape is maintained, not only during its construction, but during its life of wear.  This is the proper way to make a sweatshirt; in the good old days, the proper way was the only way.  It's cheap and easy to make shirts from a flat piece of cloth and most customers would never notice the difference, though they may wonder why their not-so-cheap sweatshirt seemed to lose its shape after only a few washes - but now you know.

Sizes:  Small, Medium, Large.   Please see our SIZING TIPS for advice on how to get the correct fit.

The master designers at Buzz Rickson's have recreated a GI classic made famous in the early years of the Vietnam War, commonly called the "jungle jacket."  This is the highly desirable, rare 1st model made of poplin with exposed gloss-finished buttons and outfitted with epaulets as worn during the early days in Nam, though sometimes seen still being worn even at war's end.  This style clearly had its design rooted in the WWII U. S. Army parachutist's jacket, though issue of the "jungle jackets" was to all troops and not specific.  The jacket was made instantly recognizable and famous in the 1967 film "The Green Berets," prominently worn by John Wayne and the rest of the cast portraying members of the 5th Special Forces while "in country."  

The overall design is incredibly practical, stylish, and so very functional in many capacities, thanks to the expandable cargo pockets with drain holes.  Combat attrition, post-service life among the veterans, sales in surplus stores for hunters, fisherman, photographers and the like, plus relatively low production numbers before it was replaced by the 2nd model, rendered the 1st-model jackets scarce not long after the events of the era; today, vintage examples in new condition will fetch a hefty price in the collector market.

No design detail has been missed on this Buzz Rickson's copy, which includes custom manufacturing of the lightweight all-cotton poplin on vintage looms to perfectly match U. S. Army specs., including assembly using vintage industrial sewing machines.  The buttons have also been custom made of genuine urea, and inside the jacket you'll find all of the authentic labels that appeared on these early jackets, making this the ultimate copy of an all-time classic.  Of course, this Buzz Rickson's jacket copy comes crispy new and unwashed, so if you don't want to look like some FNG who just got in from the World, you'll want to wash it a few times before wearing it.  

The only other 1st-model "jungle jackets" to match the precision of Buzz Rickson's masterpiece are those prized, vintage examples in collections and veteran's attics.  Please note all of these authentic features and details:  

• Four expandable, bellows pockets outfitted with exposed buttons

• Custom manufacturing of genuine, gloss-finished urea buttons precisely matching the buttons of the 1st-Model  Tropical Jacket

• Button-down epaulets

• Two-position adjustment tabs at waist-back area

• Custom manufacturing of the exact weight and weave all-cotton, water-repellant poplin produced on vintage looms

• Custom manufacturing of the exact type of all-cotton labels found on 1st-Model Tropical Jackets

• Pencil slot with separate compartment in each breast pocket with corners correctly bar tacked for extra strength

• Two-position adjustment on sleeve cuffs

• Concealed buttons on frontal closure

• Internal flap with buttons behind frontal closure

Sizes available: Med., Lg. & XL

Buzz Rickson’s products are imported from Japan

Those of you familiar with the Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson's, and Sun Surf brands we import from Japan will understand the dedication to quality, uniqueness of design, vintage aesthetics, and the employment of vintage machinery used to create their amazing articles of clothing that have been equally captured under the brand Star of Hollywood.  

Star of Hollywood was an American brand of the 1950's that established a niche for producing some wildly unique shirt designs, with some of the more renowned featuring diamonds or tarantulas.  The same manufacturing minds that have given us Sugar Cane, Buzz Rickson's, and Sun Surf have resurrected Star of Hollywood on a very limited basis under a collaboration with master retro-artist Vince Ray.  The shirt designs are original creations and not reproductions of what Star of Hollywood once produced, but the overall vibe and look is spot on with the original Star of Hollywood, making this a go-to label for those who thrive on standing out from the crowd in a retro way that's not at all dated.

This shirt is fabricated from the same pedigree of high-quality rayon acetate that perfectly duplicates the hand and weight of the long-lost rayon of the “good old days.”  Just as with the original fabric it copies, this material is extremely breathable and airy, and it takes the original screen printing inks as splendidly as did the vintage originals.

Salient shirt details include:

• Custom manufacture of high-quality rayon acetate on vintage looms

• Discharge-printed graphics

• Vintage-style urea buttons

• Matched chest pocket

• Satin-lined yoke on back

• Rocket ships, flying saucers, robots, ray guns, and police cruisers

To help preserve the color and fabric, dry cleaning is the only laundering method endorsed by the manufacturer.

This shirt runs a bit larger than most Sugar Cane shirt styles, thus some individuals with a 46" chest measure can be comfortably accommodated in size XL.  

Sugar Cane vintage-style shirts are for those who can appreciate the myriad of nuances and character found in the finest single-malt scotch, the clearest, most-colorless diamond or hand-crafted, centuries-old Persian rug. Nothing like this has been offered since the "good old days" of the 1930's - '50's when clothing had to last by necessity. One look and you will be immediately transported back to an era when America was the unquestioned king of goods synonymous with top quality and durability.

This is rugged and stylish American history at its best, and it is also going to look fabulous when worn because it is cut to flatter the body, unlike the ultra-loose styles so often encountered today. Tired of only having choices from what the big outfits and department stores have to offer? Ready for something that will make you the envy of anyone with a keen eye for a look of quality and distinction? This shirt is crafted from a hardwearing blended twill that is 90% cotton and 10% worsted wool (you'll never feel the wool in this shirt); the wool is employed not for warmth properties but to provide extra strength to the shirt and greater detail interest in the finished fabric, which easily displays differing highlights on the twill strands that, depending on the lighting environment, span warm to cool tones.  The overall shirt is very much medium in weight and can readily be worn as free-breathing, three-season shirt, good for all but the warmest days.  The twill fabric has been rinsed and brushed for a shrinkage-free, vintage aesthetic that will improve with years of dependable use.  Quantities are very limited.

Take note of these authentic features and details found only on a premium vintage-style twill shirt of this pedigree:

• Placket-front closure
• Open-top pockets with bar tacked corners for extra strength
• Collar stand for crisper appearance
• Double-stitching and rolled seams
• Reinforced shoulder yoke for greater durability at this crucial abrasion area
• Custom manufacturing of genuine urea, vintage-style buttons
• Custom manufacturing of a blended twill (90% cotton, 10% worsted wool) produced on vintage shuttle looms and then rinsed and brushed (you'll never feel the wool in this shirt)
• Chain-stitch runoff with gusset at shirttail scallop edge
• All-cotton thread employed in construction, with red all-cotton thread employed in sewing interior seams
• Exact copy of the original-style rayon-on-cotton labels
• True vintage fit for flattering appearance, not sloppy, relaxed fit with droopy shoulder seams

Sizes available:  Med. -  XL.  Please see our SIZING TIPS for advice on how to get the correct fit.
