The U.S. Navy's Type G-1 flight jacket, manufactured to Mil-J-7823 specifications, was adopted in 1952, succeeding the 55-J-14 specification. While the U.S. Air Force shifted to nylon flight jackets in the early 1950s, the Navy remained steadfast in its commitment to leather and did not alter the design of the G-1. During the same period in the 1950s, the "souvenir jacket" or "Sukajan" culture blossomed as U.S. military personnel stationed in Japan commissioned embroidery of their unit emblems onto garments as keepsakes. The company behind this was Kosho & Co., the predecessor to Toyo Enterprise. The lining used in this G-1 features fabric originally produced by Kosho & Co. for these souvenir jackets, printed with the ever-popular eagle, tiger, and dragon motifs. Historically, this fabric was uniquely created by Kosho & Co. for sale at base PX stores. Soldiers who spotted this Japanese-patterned fabric at the base shops came up with the idea of relining their beloved G-1s with it. One of the locations that handled Kosho & Co.'s fabric was the Navy Exchange at the Yokosuka base, where the labels were added when the lining was replaced. Although the luxurious lining is hidden from the outside when worn, this secret touch of style known only to the wearer is the true aesthetic of a dandy.

Buzz Rickson's is the military brand of Toyo Enterprise, which also houses vintage-style American casual brands such as Sugar Cane and Sun Surf. The company has a long history with the military, dating back to its predecessor, Kosho & Co., which supplied products like souvenir jackets (Sukajans) to U.S. military bases, and they released their first flight jacket in 1993. The military wear they have meticulously recreated since then—much like Sun Surf's Hawaiian shirts and Sugar Cane's denim—is finished to perfection.
