Buzz Rickson's BLACK L-2B WILLIAM GIBSON BR15625
Model
Height 175cm, Weight 62kg, Wearing Size M
This season, the light zone black L-2B has been renewed. This black version of the L-2B delivered by Skyline Clothing Co. in 1958 uses a rayon/wool lining in the same champagne gold color as the government-issued items. The oxygen tab on the front uses black tape with a red selvedge, similar to the government-issued items.

【L-2B】
The Type L-2B is the third model in the L-2 series and can be considered the definitive flight jacket for the light zone, adopted for a long period from the mid-1950s until the CWU-36/P was adopted in the 1970s. The biggest change from the L-2A was the body color; after the Korean War, the USAF changed the color of flight jackets from Air Force Blue to the new designated color of Sage Green. In addition, the size indication was changed from inches to S, M, L, and the size specifications were also changed, resulting in a more relaxed fit overall. Furthermore, the outer nylon fabric was changed, and the lining material transitioned from wool nylon to wool rayon. Early L-2B models had a sage green lining, but from the mid-period onwards, an orange rescue color was adopted.

【WILLIAM GIBSON COLLECTION】
A special collection series of Buzz Rickson's flight jackets produced by American novelist William Gibson. The jackets are arranged in a black color that does not exist in the original. The quality is made to be as faithful as possible to the original jackets.

Buzz Rickson's is a military brand of Toyo Enterprise, which owns vintage American casual brands such as Sugar Cane and Sun Surf. The company's relationship with the military dates back to its predecessor, Kosho Shokai, which supplied souvenir jackets (such as sukajan) to US military bases. In 1993, the first flight jacket was released. Since then, successive reproductions of military wear, like Sun Surf's Hawaiian shirts and Sugar Cane's denim wear, have all been perfectly crafted.
