1 / 9

Field Notes

To celebrate the brand’s third decade at the top of their tree, Buzz Rickson’s have decided to pull out something a little special. Now we’ve all seen the iconic M-51 Parka before, but never like this. An outer shell offers all the specifications of the traditional M-51 Parka; all cotton outer shell, drawstrings at both the hood and the hem, snap secured hand-warmer pockets, and a military spec Crown Zipper. However BR have gone a step further into heritage genius, by lining this model with its very own nylon flight jacket.

The liner jacket, which effortlessly zips into the M-51 Parka, is cut with MA-1 detailing, with a durable nylon outer shell, and matched with a rugged orange nylon inner, for reversible wear. All of the detailing of a traditional MA-1 are there; nylon oxygen tab, sleeve pocket, ribbed collar, cuff, and waistband, and snap fastened secured pockets, but now fans of this iconic jacket can have even more, by exploring the bold reverse option with even more features and details.
