The "BR16035 Black Jacket Suit Flying" by BUZZ RICKSON'S is based on the winter jacket that the US Navy used as part of a two-piece suit from approximately the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, known as WEP. 

Its origins as a suit are evident on the inside: tabs in the lining connect the jacket to the matching trousers. Elastic bands between the nylon shell and the padding provide freedom of movement and always pull the folds of the outer shell inward.

The idea for an all-black collection came from a fictional black MA-1 jacket that the science fiction author designed for his protagonist in his book "Pattern Recognition". Buzz Rickson's brought the never-before-seen jacket to life, thereby laying the foundation for the unique militaria collaboration "Type Black".
