BUZZ RICKSON'S x William Gibson G-1 Leather Jacket Black

About this product

One of the most iconic flight jackets of all time receives a 'counterculture cool' update from Buzz Rickson's, being released in an all-black variant as part of their William Gibson Collection. The collaboration was established in 2004 after Gibson attributed a black MA-1 to Buzz Rickson's, worn by the main character in his novel 'Pattern Recognition'.

The jacket didn't exist, but such demand for the jacket spurred Buzz Rickson's to reach out and create a collection inspired by the fictional all-black MA-1. Produced in small numbers, this staple in the Buzz catalogue receives an all-black makeover and this 55J-14 is a standout piece from the collection.

The U. S Navy jacket which would eventually become known as the G-1 is a fantastically engineered piece which exudes functionality and style. The Buzz Rickson's x William Gibson G-1 Leather Jacket is cut in Japan from the finest vegetable tanned, hand semi-aniline dyed Goatskin. The 1/2 inch shearling collar features mouton and is complimented by the fine grade 100% wool knits on both cuffs and waistband.

The zip front features a Talon Mil Spec Nickel finished zip while the snap buttons used meet U. S. Government Department of Defence specs. The contract 55J-14 is complete with mil spec urea buttons while a trim, short silhouette completes the look on this cracking piece. Veg-Tanned Hand Aniline Dyed Goatskin Mouton Collar 100% Wool Knits Contrasting cotton/satin lining Two Buttoned Front Pockets One Internal Map Pocket Wind Flap Talon zipper USN Stencilled on Back of Collar Woven Vintage Style Labels Made in Japan
