■GOVERNMENT ISSUE T-SHIRT “534th BOMB.SQ.”
From the sportswear series of Buzz Rickson’s—a brand dedicated to faithfully reviving classic military apparel for the modern era—comes a printed T-shirt for the Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
This model features a print design inspired by the 534th Bomb Squadron, which was formed in November 1942 at Gowen Field, Idaho, under the 8th Air Force.
Despite facing fierce enemy interception on the European front, the squadron successfully targeted shipyards, oil refineries, and aircraft factories, earning the Distinguished Unit Citation for these achievements.
The graphic, inspired by the unit’s nickname “Prehistoric Bats,” features an exquisite color scheme with a yellow base accented by red and black.
■BUZZ RICKSON’S
A military brand that has garnered a loyal following since its founding in 1993, focusing primarily on the precise reproduction of vintage flight jackets.
While drawing on rugged military motifs such as unit patches and nose art, the brand’s approachable designs—which often incorporate a touch of humor—have made its daily wear, including T-shirts and sweatshirts, highly popular.
■ Smooth-to-the-touch Japanese-made body
The body is made from Buzz Rickson’s original 100% Japanese-made cotton.
The fabric uses “combed yarn,” a high-quality cotton yarn made by removing short fibers and aligning the long fibers in parallel.
It has minimal pilling and combines a smooth feel against the skin with high durability.
Additionally, the “tubular-knit body,” which is knitted in a tube shape to eliminate seams around the torso, ensures a soft feel against the skin and a comfortable fit.
■A Piece That Combines Design and Quality
The neckline features a double-needle bound neck, which is highly resistant to stretching and offers excellent durability.
The stitching on the armholes, sleeves, and hem is meticulously finished, allowing you to appreciate the high quality the more you wear it.
■A Silhouette That Stands Out on Its Own
The silhouette features a balanced fit with a slightly relaxed cut, offering a comfortable, laid-back feel.
The print colors are vibrant, making this a standout piece for summer wear.
