From the brand: The M-51 parka, a significant evolution from the WWII pullover-type parka, was introduced by the US Army in 1951 during the Korean War. Its impactful design continues to influence civilian fashion. Featuring a layering system for added warmth, the parka includes a detachable liner, making it adaptable for various climates. Parallelly, the US Air Force developed the iconic MA-1 flight jacket in the early 1950s, perfecting it after the B-15 series. The MA-1 stands out for its functional style and comfort. Buzz Rickson's, established in 1993, marks its 30th anniversary in 2023. This special jacket combines the M-51 parka and MA-1 flight jacket, embodying Buzz Rickson's three decades of expertise.
