Buzz Rickson's U.S. Army Tropical Combat Jacket - Olive

1 / 6

Field Notes

Based on the U.S Army’s standard issue tropical combat jacket, this classic piece has been an icon of military design since its first release in the late 1960’s. As a lightweight and incredibly versatile garment, this jacket is as practical as it is timeless.

The 100% cotton, olive green body of this jacket is lightweight and durable at the same time, and was originally designed this way for comfort in the tropical climates of Vietnam. Two large lower patch pockets which button up and extend for extra volume have been added for functionality, and two upper patch pockets which are tilted slightly for comfort and ease of access. Two shoulder epaulettes are also featured, along with adjustable tabs at the cuff and waist, for the perfect fit.
