Where it's made: Made in Japan
What it's made from: High-strength West Point twill shell with Troy Blanket lining
Fit description: Wide, boxy vintage fit
This jacket is based on U.S. Army denim workwear worn between the 1910s and 1940s, retaining a timelessly simple design that still resonates today. The outer shell is constructed from military-grade West Point twill using durable combed yarn, while the interior is lined with authentic Troy Blanket—a material widely used in 1940s workwear for its warmth, distinctive color tones, and unmistakable vintage character. The combination creates a rugged, warm, and historically faithful piece that wears beautifully over time.
"Aviation Associates" refers to civilian-market flight garments produced between the 1920s and 1940s, often inspired by government-issued military jackets. While technically not regulation, some pilots wore these commercially available pieces in service—something seen occasionally in wartime photographs. Designs typically mirrored official military items with subtle variations, resulting in civilian jackets with a classic, functional look.
Buzz Rickson’s authentic AA series recreates these rare civilian flight and workwear garments with meticulous accuracy, offering materials, patterns, and colours true to the era. This jacket captures that heritage—military construction, workwear attitude, and a distinctly vintage silhouette.
Jonas wears size 40.
