William Gibson Sweaters, Wool, Turtle Neck, Black
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout
The black "Sweaters, Wool, Turtle Neck, Black" is based on the sweater introduced by the US Army in the 1930s as an insulating layer under jackets and coats and is part of Buzz Rickson's X William Gibson Collection.
To withstand the stresses, the shoulders and hem are knitted horizontally, while the front and back feature vertical knitting patterns. The rib knit is reminiscent of the style of marine leather jackets such as the G-1 on the hem.
The idea for an all-black collection was inspired by Buzz Rickson's fictional black MA-1 jacket, which the science fiction author designed for his protagonist in his book "Pattern Recognition". Buzz Rickson's brought the never-before-seen jacket to life and thus laid the foundation for the unique militaria collaboration "Type Black".
