Buzz Rickson's

World War II William Gibson Black Denim Waist Overalls BR43042

A simplified wartime model in black denim. Due to material control during World War II, features include changes to the pocket linings and buttons, and the omission of rtivets. In line with William Gibson’s concept, the leather label is foil-stamped in black, and the flasher is monochrome

This is the denim waist overalls that was produced under the strict material-control, or restriction that the US government imposed on the manufactures during WWII.

“FOR THE DURATION” written in the flasher means “during the period of war”, and the change of specification due to the material control during the war is described. In the 1940s, the U.S. government awarded an “E” pennant, meaning “Excellent,” to companies that produced outstanding munitions. This flasher is meant to praise Buzz Rickson’s that won the E-pennant as an excellent contractor of the flight jacket.
