The Japanese brand Buzz Rickson'sare today counted among the few high-end reproduction manufacturers of military and casual garments in the world! They strive to make true replicas by carefully researching and analyzing original vintage garments, taking great care to duplicate the material while paying close attention to technique and quality. Their goal is to bring back old forgotten techniques and machines needed to make garments of outstanding quality without compromises.

Buzz Rickson's sweatshirts areknitted on original 4-needle1920's vintage loopwheel machinesin Japan. The facility that makes these knits is one of the last ones in the world to maintain and keep these looms in working order, making the fine13-ounce 100% cotton tubularknitused in these sweatshirts.

4-Needle loomsare special machines that are able to knita perfect tube, but they can only knit a set diameter. In other wordsone loom for each sizeis required and this is why one hardly ever sees perfect tube construction in modern day garments. This special way of sewing allows Buzz Rickson's to create sweatshirts without side seams, a technique thatensures that thetrue shape of the garment is maintainednot only during its construction but also during its life of wear.

Through our years inbusinesswe have been offering cotton sweatshirts from many brands but with time it has come clear to us that the 4-Needle Sweatshirt from Buzz Rickson's is our favorite! It has that great combination ofsimplicity and qualitythat is second to none, making this sweatshirt a core piece in the wardrobe. We met a person once that told us that he had been wearing his Buzz sweatshirt for fifteen years now and that it was still going strong! To us, that's proof that these sweatshirts won't let you down.
