buzz rickson's | br15776 william gibson collection jacket, wool, black “ccc”
the black ccc jacket by buzz rickson's is part of the "type black" militaria cooperation with science fiction novelist william gibson. gibson designed a fictional black ma-1 jacket from buzz rickson's for his protagonist in his book "pattern recognition", and the idea for an all-black collection was born.
this wool jacket, which hardly looks like a military jacket at first glance, was issued in 1935 to the civilian conservation corps (ccc). the ccc was a u.s. public work relief program from 1933 to 1942 that employed millions of young, unmarried men in conservation projects during the great depression. due to its extremely limited production numbers, encountering an original is almost miraculous these days. buzz rickson's version is made in japan from pure, high-quality wool and is the perfect companion for cooler days.
