BR40973 Buzz Rickson U.S. Air Force Sweat Pants- Gray
The Buzz Rickson BR40973 U.S. Air Force Sweat Pants reproduce the straightforward athletic wear adopted by the U.S. military as sweatshirts and sweatpants became a staple for physical training. Originally sold through military base stores and used by servicemen and military academies alike, these sweatpants prioritize comfort, mobility, and durability.
Buzz Rickson's 100% cotton fabric is knitted on a loopwheel machine using uneven tension, creating the distinctive softness and relaxed texture associated with vintage athletic knitwear. The seams are constructed with a four-needle flat-seamer, providing exceptional durability while keeping the interior smooth and comfortable against the skin.
Designed specifically with training in mind, the pants feature gusseted crotch construction for greater freedom of movement. Rather than using ribbed waist and leg openings, which can feel restrictive, the BR40973 uses a drawcord at the waist and open hems for an easy, adjustable fit.
Made in Japan, these sweatpants combine classic U.S. Air Force athletic styling with Buzz Rickson's meticulous reproduction of vintage manufacturing techniques.
