About This Jacket:

This Buzz Rickson (Japan) L-2B from 2003 is an excellent copy of Tops Apparel's L-2B contract, a MIL-J-7448B design. The jacket is well designed, with square shoulders, a wide torso, and somewhat smaller sleeve ends than previous designs. The details are true to Tops Apparel's color, shape, and details, like the epaulettes and pocket flaps. The color of the nylon has a slight hue of orange with the sage green, and the lining is also of a strong reddish hue. The previous Rickson design which was a copy of Blue Anchor Overall's jacket had a blue tone to the nylon. Also note the green hue of the oxygen hose tab. As a size XXL, it's a large jacket and roomy on me.
