サイズ実寸
フィット感は、レギュラーフィットの範疇に収まる着用感です。このジャケットは、ハリとコシのあるコットン100％のバックサテンの表地と、厚みのあるボアの裏地を組み合わせています。そのため、着用時の外観には素材の厚みが生むA-2デッキジャケットらしい適度なボリューム感があります。一方、肩幅を広く取ったつくりではなく、裏地の厚みが内側の着用スペースをある程度占めるため、実際の着用感はルーズなものではありません。着用を重ねることで、生地が徐々にこなれ、身体に馴染んだ自然な着用感へと変化していきます。
掲載のサイズ実寸は、表側から計測した外寸です。内側にはボアの厚みがあるため、同じ身幅の薄手のジャケットとは着用時のゆとりが異なる場合があります。また、実際のフィット感は、着用するインナーの厚さや体型、好みの着用感によって異なります。サイズをお選びになる際は、裏地の厚みやお好みの着用感も考慮しながら、厚みや構造が近いお手持ちのジャケットを平置きで計測し、身幅・着丈・裄丈・袖丈・肩幅を掲載のサイズ実寸と比較してご検討ください。
表地と裏地の厚みを踏まえ、体型や重ね着の仕方によっては、普段お選びになるサイズよりもひとつ上のサイズも候補としてご検討ください。
記載の寸法は身体の寸法ではなく、衣服そのものを平置きで計測した実寸です。身幅は脇下の左右を直線で測った幅で、胸まわり一周の寸法や着用者の胸囲ではありません。

商品説明
東洋エンタープライズが展開するミリタリーレーベル、Buzz Rickson's(バズリクソンズ)のType DECK A-2デッキジャケット(Lot No. BR16016 / Type DECK A-2 BUZZ RICKSON MFG. CO.)です。
A-2デッキジャケットは、米海軍の甲板作業用ジャケットであるN-1の後継モデルとして、1960年代前半に採用されました。軍規定色にはオリーブドラブが用いられ、仕様の変更を重ねながら約30年にわたって採用された、息の長いモデルです。
最初期のモデルでは、N-1に用いられていたコットングログランの表地とアルパカ・ウールの裏地に代わり、バックサテンの表地と化繊ボアの裏地を組み合わせています。こうした素材の変更には、生産性と製造コストを見直す背景があったとされています。
フロントをジッパーとボタン留めの前立てで閉じる構造や、袖口の内側に収めたニットリブなど、基本的なディテールはN-1から引き継いでいます。一方で、衿は表地と共生地の折り返し衿へと変更され、胸ポケットと裾のアジャスターが加わりました。防寒衣料としての機能を受け継ぎながら、素材と各部の仕様を改めた、米海軍のユーティリティジャケットです。
表地と胸ポケットフラップには、製造時期による違いが見られます。1962年契約の最初期モデルには表地にバックサテンが用いられ、1964年契約のセカンドモデルのみ、表地にジャングルクロスが採用されました。この二つのモデルに共通する特徴が、下端の中央を尖らせた三角形の胸ポケットフラップです。それ以降のモデルでは、フラップの下端が横方向に直線となる形状へ変更され、表地もバックサテンに戻されています。
さらに、1970年代以降には、表地に軽量で強度があり、濡れた際にも乾きやすいコットン・ナイロン混紡生地が採用されるようになりました。生産時の作りやすさも見直され、袖口の補強が簡略化されるなど、長い採用期間の中で素材や縫製仕様にも変化が見られます。
本製品は、その初期のA-2に見られるバックサテンの表地と、下端の中央を尖らせた胸ポケットフラップを備えた復刻モデルです。表地にはコットン100%のバックサテン、裏地には化繊混紡ボアを使用しています。オリーブドラブの外観に、ジッパーとボタン留めの前立てによる二重構造、袖口の内蔵リブ、裾のアジャスターを組み合わせ、初期のA-2デッキジャケットを特徴づける実用的な構成を再現しています。
表地には、コットン100%のバックサテンを使用しています。高密度に織り上げられ、適度なハリとコシがありながら、しなやかさも備えた丈夫な生地です。表面には横方向に筋が走るような糸ムラが見られ、細かな織り目とともに、生地に自然な表情を与えています。肩や袖付け、脇の縫い目の周囲には、生地が細かく波打つパッカリングも見られます。生地そのものの横方向のムラ感と、縫い目に沿う細かな起伏が組み合わさり、ミリタリーウェアらしい無骨な風合いを生み出しています。
身頃と袖の裏地には、ポリエステル70%・アクリル30%の混紡ボアを使用しています。毛足が小さな房状にまとまり、表面に凹凸が現れた、厚みのあるボア生地です。毛足の間に空気を含むことで保温層を作り、衣服内部の熱が逃げるのを抑えます。フロントの前端の裏側には、表地と同じバックサテンを使用した見返しを設け、開閉部の縁を整えています。また、裾は表地を内側へ折り返して始末しています。ボア裏地は、前端では見返しの身頃側の縁から、裾では折り返し部分の上端から始まり、身頃から袖にかけて配されています。脇部分のボア裏地には、縁をパイピングで始末した開口部を設けています。この開口部は表地と裏地の間の空間につながっています。ボアで内側全面を塞がず、表地と裏地の間へ空気が通る余地を設けたディテールとなっています。適度なハリとコシを持つバックサテンの表地に、裏ボアの厚みが加わることで、着用時の外観にも防寒用ジャケットらしいふくらみとボリュームが生まれます。
フロント開閉部には、金属製のジッパーを採用しています。「TALON」の刻印が入った引き手には、牛革製の革紐を延長タブとして結び付けています。つかむ部分を延長することで、グローブを着用した状態でもジッパーの開閉操作を行いやすい構造となっています。また、革紐は結び目をほどくことで取り外すこともできます。着用者から見て左身頃の前端には、ジッパーを覆うストームフラップ(防風用の前立て)を備えています。フラップには横方向に開けたボタンホールを縦一列に5つ設け、右身頃のジッパーに沿う位置には、それぞれに対応する5つの四つ穴ボタンを取り付けています。ジッパーで前開きを閉じた後、その上からフラップを重ね、ボタンで固定する二重の開閉構造です。開閉部に生地の重なりを持たせ、ジッパーの噛み合わせ部分へ直接風が当たるのを抑えることで、衣服内部への冷気の侵入を軽減します。
衿には、表地と同じバックサテンを使用しています。左右の衿先を尖らせた、シャツカラータイプの折り返し衿です。衿先に丸みを持たせ、表衿にパイルを配したN-1の衿から、表地と共生地の折り返し衿へと変更された点も、A-2デッキジャケットの外観上の特徴です。
左胸には、フラップ付きのパッチポケットを配置しています。ポケット布を身頃の表側へ縫い付け、開口部の上側にフラップを取り付けた構造です。ポケット本体の左右の下角は斜めに落とし、フラップは下端の中央が尖った形状に仕立てています。フラップをポケットの入口にかぶせ、金属製のスナップボタンで固定する仕様です。入口を上から覆うことで、収納物が不用意に飛び出すのを抑えるつくりとなっています。ポケット口は生地を内側へ折り返し、ステッチで押さえて始末しています。片側だけに設けた胸ポケットと、中央が尖ったフラップが、フロントの特徴的なディテールとなっています。
フロント左右の腰部分には、手を差し入れやすいように開口部を斜めに設けた、片玉縁のハンドウォーマーポケットを配置しています。開口部の片側に表地と共生地の口布を設け、収納部となる袋布は身頃の内側に収めています。胸のパッチポケットとは異なり、表側には細長い開口部と口布が見える構造です。開口部の上下端には補強ステッチを施しています。
袖は、身頃の袖ぐり(アームホール)に袖山を縫い合わせるセットインスリーブ仕様です。袖本体の表地は、片袖につき1枚の生地パーツで構成され、腕の内側にあたる袖下で生地の端同士を縫い合わせ、筒状に仕立てた一枚袖の構造です。袖口は、表地と同じバックサテンの別布を縫い付けて始末しています。袖口にボタンなどの開閉用の留め具は設けず、袖先の内側にウール100%のニットリブを収めています。外側のバックサテン生地がリブを覆うことで、作業時の摩擦や引っ掛かりによる編み地の摩耗・損傷を抑えるつくりです。内蔵したニットリブは、その伸縮性によって手首まわりを包み、袖口の隙間を小さくします。これにより、袖先からの冷気の侵入と衣服内部の暖気の流出を抑え、保温性を高めています。
後身頃の表地は、背中心の接ぎや背ヨークによる切り替え、アクションプリーツを設けない構成です。背中には広い生地の面が続き、表地の織り目や自然な起伏がそのまま現れます。身頃はウエストを強く絞り込まず、裾へ向かって比較的まっすぐに落ちる形です。
裾は表地を内側へ折り返し、横方向のステッチで押さえて始末しています。裾の両サイドには、2本の織りテープを金属製バックルで連結したアジャスターを取り付けています。2本のテープは脇の縫い目を挟んで配され、それぞれの付け根を身頃へ縫い付けています。バックルに通したテープの長さを調整することで、左右それぞれで裾まわりの締め具合を変えることができます。裾の開きを絞り、身体との隙間や動いた際の裾の広がりを抑える役割があります。
首裏には、「U.S. NAVY」の名称、契約番号「DA-36-243-QM(CTM)-11192-C-62」、サイズ表記、「JACKET, INTERMEDIATE COLD WEATHER (A2)」の文字を配した復刻ラベルを縫い付けています。当時の官給衣料を思わせる意匠を再現しています。ラベル上部には、表地と共生地のハンガーループを設けています。
初期の海軍A-2デッキジャケットに見られる素材感や各部の特徴を再現した復刻モデルです。海上の寒さや風に対応するための防寒構造と、甲板作業用の衣料としての実用的なディテールを受け継ぎ、ミリタリーウェアらしい無骨な表情を備えた一着です。

Buzz Rickson's Men's U.S. Navy A-2 Deck Jacket Reproduction, 100% Cotton Back-Satin Shell with Synthetic Pile Lining, TALON Zipper and Concealed Wool Cuffs, Made in Japan (BR16016, 01 Olive Drab)
Buzz Rickson's
This men's Type A-2 deck jacket is made in Japan by Buzz Rickson's, Toyo Enterprises' military label specializing in reproductions and interpretations of vintage American military clothing. Based on an early version of the U.S. Navy utility jacket developed as the successor to the N-1 deck jacket, this model combines an Olive Drab 100% cotton back-satin shell with a substantial polyester-and-acrylic pile lining through the body and sleeves. Its construction includes a TALON-marked metal zipper with a removable cowhide pull extension, a five-button storm flap, a matching fabric collar, a chest pocket with a pointed snap-fastened flap, slanted handwarmer pockets, concealed wool rib-knit cuffs, and adjustable straps at both sides of the hem. The regular fit and relatively straight body preserve the practical proportions of the early naval design, while the thickness of the shell and lining gives the jacket its characteristic cold-weather volume. These materials and functional details bring the character of a military deck jacket into everyday casual wear.
Size and Fit Guide:
Gender: Men.
Fit: In terms of how it feels when worn, this jacket falls on the slightly slimmer side of a regular fit, without being overly tight or having the roominess of a relaxed fit. The shoulders are not cut especially wide, and the thick pile lining occupies some of the space inside the garment, contributing to its slightly trim feel.
In terms of its appearance when worn, the firm, substantial cotton back-satin shell and thick pile lining give the jacket the moderate fullness characteristic of an A-2 deck jacket. With continued wear, the fabric gradually becomes more supple and settles into a more naturally broken-in feel.
The set-in sleeves establish a defined shoulder line, while the body falls relatively straight toward the hem without pronounced shaping at the waist. The side adjusters allow the hem opening to be drawn in as needed. Together with the thickness of the lining, these features give the jacket a substantial appearance without an oversized cut.
The listed measurements are exterior measurements taken from the outside of the jacket. Because the pile lining takes up space inside, this jacket may provide less usable room than a thinner jacket with the same listed chest width. Please consider this difference when comparing measurements and choosing your size.
The numbers on the reproduction neck label should not be treated as a direct equivalent of contemporary sizing. Taking the jacket's fit and the thickness of its pile lining into account, our approximate comparisons with general US/EU sizing are listed below.
Approximate Size Guide
Tagged Size S (reproduction neck label: 34-36): Approximately US/EU XS-S.
Tagged Size M (reproduction neck label: 38-40): Approximately US/EU S-M.
Tagged Size L (reproduction neck label: 42-44): Approximately US/EU M-L.
Tagged Size XL (reproduction neck label: 46-48): Approximately US/EU L-XL.
Tagged Size XXL (reproduction neck label: 50-52): Approximately US/EU XL-XXL.
These comparisons are intended only as a general guide, as sizing varies among brands and garments. Actual fit will depend on your body type, the thickness of the layers worn underneath, and your preferred amount of room. Depending on your build and intended layering, you may wish to consider one size larger than you usually choose.
To help select your size, please measure a similar lined jacket that fits you well, ideally one with comparable thickness and construction, and compare its chest width, body length, center-back sleeve length, sleeve length from the shoulder seam, and shoulder width with the measurements below.
Our model wears Tagged Size M. He is 175 cm / approximately 5'9" tall, weighs 59 kg / approximately 130 lbs, and has a 91 cm / approximately 36" chest. For reference, he normally wears a US/EU size S/36.

[How We Measure the Actual Garment]
Width (Chest Width / Half Chest): Measured with the jacket laid flat, straight across from side to side approximately 3cm (about 1.2 in.) below the underarms. This is a flat width measurement, not the garment's full chest circumference or the wearer's chest measurement.
Length (Body Length): Measured down the back from the base of the collar, at the seam where the collar joins the body, to the bottom edge of the hem. The height of the collar is not included.
Sleeve (Center-Back Sleeve Length): The first sleeve measurement is taken from the center back at the base of the collar seam, across the shoulder, and down to the end of the outer shell cuff. The measurement ends at the edge of the back-satin sleeve opening.
Sleeve in Parentheses (Sleeve Length from Shoulder Seam): The measurement in parentheses is taken from the shoulder seam down to the end of the outer shell cuff. As with the center-back sleeve measurement, the endpoint is the edge of the back-satin sleeve opening.
Shoulder (Shoulder Width): Measured straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.

U.S. Navy A-2 Deck Jacket Background
The A-2 deck jacket was adopted in the early 1960s as the successor to the U.S. Navy's N-1 jacket for work on deck. Olive Drab was used as the regulation color, and the design remained in service for approximately three decades while undergoing changes to its materials and construction.
The earliest A-2 jackets replaced the N-1's cotton grosgrain shell and alpaca-and-wool lining with a back-satin shell and synthetic pile lining. These material changes are understood to have reflected a reassessment of production efficiency and manufacturing costs.
The A-2 retained several fundamental cold-weather details from the N-1, including a front zipper covered by a button-fastened storm flap and rib-knit cuffs concealed inside the sleeves. At the same time, it introduced a turn-down collar made from the shell fabric, a chest pocket, and hem adjusters. These changes established the A-2 as a naval utility jacket that carried forward the earlier garment's protective construction while revising its materials and functional details.
Early Back-Satin Configuration with a Pointed Chest-Pocket Flap
The shell fabric and chest-pocket flap changed during the A-2's production history. The earliest jackets made under the 1962 contract used back satin, while jungle cloth was used for the second version under the 1964 contract. Both early configurations featured a chest-pocket flap with a pointed center along its lower edge.
Subsequent versions changed to a flap with a straight horizontal lower edge and returned to a back-satin shell. From the 1970s onward, cotton-and-nylon blends also came into use, offering a combination of lightness, strength, and relatively quick drying when wet. Construction was revised over time to simplify manufacturing, including changes to the reinforcement around the sleeve openings.
This reproduction follows the early configuration with a 100% cotton back-satin shell and a pointed chest-pocket flap. Its polyester-and-acrylic pile lining, covered zipper front, concealed rib-knit cuffs, and adjustable hem reproduce the practical arrangement associated with the early A-2 deck jacket.
100% Cotton Back-Satin Shell
The outer shell is made from densely woven 100% cotton back satin. The fabric combines durability with moderate firmness and body, while retaining enough suppleness to bend and move naturally. This balance helps the shell hold its shape without making the garment completely rigid.
Subtle yarn irregularities form horizontal streaks across the surface, adding texture alongside the fine woven structure. Small ripples of seam puckering are also visible around areas such as the shoulders, armholes, and side seams. The horizontal variation within the cloth and the localized undulations along the stitching give the Olive Drab shell its rugged military character.
Substantial Polyester-and-Acrylic Pile Lining
The body and sleeves are lined with a thick synthetic pile fabric made from 70% polyester and 30% acrylic. The pile gathers into small tufts, creating an uneven, textured surface with noticeable depth. Air held between the fibers forms an insulating layer that helps reduce heat loss from inside the jacket.
The thickness of the lining also affects the jacket's shape and fit. Combined with the firm back-satin shell, it creates soft fullness through the body and sleeves and gives the exterior the substantial appearance of a cold-weather jacket. This same thickness occupies part of the space inside the garment, which is why the exterior measurements should be considered together with the lining when choosing a size.
Back-Satin Front Facings and Turned Hem
The inside edges of the front opening are finished with facings made from the same back satin as the shell. These fabric sections form the interior borders of the opening and provide a defined finish beside the front closure.
At the bottom of the body, the shell fabric turns inward to finish the hem. The pile lining begins at the body-side edges of the front facings and above the upper edge of the turned hem section, then extends through the body and sleeves. This arrangement places woven shell fabric around the opening and lower edge while retaining the thickness of the pile across the main interior areas.
Bound Openings in the Underarm Lining
Openings are incorporated into the pile lining at the underarms, with their edges finished in piping. These openings lead into the space between the outer shell and the lining.
The pile therefore does not form a completely uninterrupted layer across these areas. The openings provide a route for air to pass into the space between the two layers, while the piping gives their edges a neat, defined finish.
TALON-Marked Metal Zipper with a Removable Cowhide Pull Extension
The front opening uses a metal zipper with a pull stamped "TALON." A cowhide leather cord is tied to the pull as an extension, increasing the area available to grasp when operating the zipper.
The extended pull makes the zipper easier to handle while wearing gloves. Because the leather cord is tied in place, it can also be removed by undoing the knot.
Five-Button Storm Flap over the Front Zipper
A storm flap extends from the front edge of the wearer's left body panel and covers the zipper. Five horizontal buttonholes are arranged vertically along the flap, with five corresponding four-hole buttons positioned beside the zipper on the wearer's right panel.
After the zipper is closed, the flap folds over it and fastens with the buttons, forming a two-stage closure. The overlapping fabric shields the zipper teeth from direct exposure to wind and helps reduce cold air entering through the front opening.
Matching Back-Satin Turn-Down Collar
The collar is made from the same cotton back satin as the shell and has the pointed ends of a shirt-style turn-down collar. Its woven surface continues the texture and Olive Drab color of the body.
This collar is one of the visible changes from the N-1 design, which used a pile-covered upper collar with more rounded ends. The A-2's matching fabric collar gives the neckline the simpler appearance associated with a utility jacket.
Left Chest Patch Pocket with a Pointed Snap-Fastened Flap
A patch pocket is sewn onto the outside of the wearer's left chest, with a separate flap attached above its opening. The lower corners of the pocket body are cut at an angle, while the lower edge of the flap extends to a point at the center.
The flap covers the pocket entrance and secures with a metal snap, helping keep the contents from slipping out unintentionally. The pocket opening itself is turned inward and secured with stitching to finish the edge.
The single chest pocket creates an asymmetrical arrangement across the front. Its pointed flap is a defining detail of the early A-2 configuration reproduced by this jacket.
Slanted Single-Welt Handwarmer Pockets
Handwarmer pockets are positioned at both sides of the lower front, with slanted openings that allow the hands to enter naturally. Each opening is finished with a single welt made from the shell fabric, while the pocket bag is housed inside the body.
This construction leaves a narrow opening and welt visible on the exterior, keeping the lower front relatively flat. Reinforcement stitching is applied at the upper and lower ends of each opening to support the points that receive stress when the pockets are used.
Set-In Sleeves with One-Piece Shell Panels
The sleeves use a set-in construction, with each sleeve cap sewn into the corresponding armhole of the body. This creates a defined seam around the armhole and a natural transition from the shoulder into the sleeve.
Each main sleeve shell is formed from a single fabric panel. The panel's edges are joined along the underside of the arm to create the sleeve tube. A separate piece of matching back satin is sewn around the sleeve end to finish the outer cuff area.
Concealed 100% Wool Rib-Knit Cuffs
The sleeve openings have no buttons or other adjustable fasteners. Instead, 100% wool rib-knit cuffs are housed inside the sleeve ends, beneath the outer back-satin fabric.
The woven outer cuffs cover the knit sections and help protect them from abrasion and snagging during use. Inside, the elasticity of the rib knit allows the cuffs to wrap around the wrists and reduce gaps at the sleeve openings.
This arrangement helps limit cold air entering through the sleeves and warm air escaping from inside the jacket. It also preserves the plain woven appearance of the sleeve ends while placing the flexible knit cuffs where they can follow the wrists.
Uninterrupted Back Panel and Relatively Straight Body
The back shell has no center-back joining seam, separate back yoke, or action pleats. Its broad, uninterrupted fabric surface allows the woven texture and natural undulations of the back satin to remain visible.
The body is not strongly drawn in at the waist and falls relatively straight toward the hem. This straightforward construction preserves the practical shape of a naval work jacket, while the underlying pile lining adds moderate outward fullness.
Turned Hem with Buckle-Adjustable Side Straps
The lower edge is finished by turning the shell fabric inward and securing it with horizontal stitching. At each side of the hem, an adjuster is formed from two lengths of woven tape connected by a metal buckle.
The two tape sections are positioned on opposite sides of the side seam, with their fixed ends sewn to the body. Changing the length of tape passing through the buckle allows the hem to be adjusted independently on each side.
Drawing in the adjusters reduces the opening around the lower body and helps limit gaps between the jacket and the wearer. It also controls how far the hem spreads outward during movement.
Reproduction U.S. Navy Neck Label and Fabric Hanging Loop
A reproduction label is sewn inside the back neckline. It includes the "U.S. NAVY" name, contract number "DA-36-243-QM(CTM)-11192-C-62," a size marking, and the wording "JACKET, INTERMEDIATE COLD WEATHER (A2)."
The lettering and layout reproduce the appearance of period government-issued clothing labels. A hanging loop made from the same fabric as the shell is positioned above the label.
Made in Japan
Buzz Rickson's Type DECK A-2 "BUZZ RICKSON MFG. CO." jacket is made in Japan. Its cotton back-satin shell, substantial synthetic pile lining, covered zipper front, concealed wool cuffs, and adjustable hem bring together the materials and practical details associated with an early U.S. Navy A-2 deck jacket.
The pointed chest-pocket flap, plain fabric collar, and relatively straight body preserve the character of the naval utility design. Its rugged appearance comes from the texture of the woven shell, the thickness of the lining, and the construction of the individual components, carrying forward the cold-weather features and functional character of clothing developed for work on deck.

Before washing the entire jacket, tumble drying, or arranging dry cleaning, check the manufacturer's care instructions attached to the actual product and follow the specified restrictions.
For localized soiling on the cotton shell, carefully wipe the affected area with a soft cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent diluted in water. Avoid vigorous rubbing, saturating the fabric, or applying the solution to the leather cord. This method may still cause uneven color or discoloration, so always test a small, inconspicuous area first and proceed with care. Allow the area to dry naturally in a well-ventilated location away from direct heat.
Storage
Use a broad, supportive hanger to help maintain the jacket's shape. Make sure the jacket is completely dry before storing it in a dry, well-ventilated location. Loosely cover it with a clean, dry towel or a breathable garment cover to protect it from dust. Periodically inspect the jacket for mold and the wool rib-knit cuffs for insect damage.
Specialist Cleaning
If professional cleaning becomes necessary, consult a trusted specialist in advance and explain the jacket's combination of a cotton shell, polyester-and-acrylic pile lining, wool rib-knit cuffs, and leather cord. Show the specialist the actual care label before agreeing on a cleaning method. Please be aware that cleaning may affect the jacket's shape, color, pile texture, leather components, or printed interior label.
Do not deliberately soil, distress, or artificially age the jacket, as these treatments may cause damage.

フィット感は、レギュラーフィットの範疇に収まる着用感です。このジャケットは、ハリとコシのあるコットン100％のバックサテンの表地と、厚みのあるボアの裏地を組み合わせています。そのため、着用時の外観には素材の厚みが生むA-2デッキジャケットらしい適度なボリューム感があります。一方、肩幅を広く取ったつくりではなく、裏地の厚みが内側の着用スペースをある程度占めるため、実際の着用感はルーズなものではありません。着用を重ねることで、生地が徐々にこなれ、身体に馴染んだ自然な着用感へと変化していきます。
掲載のサイズ実寸は、表側から計測した外寸です。内側にはボアの厚みがあるため、同じ身幅の薄手のジャケットとは着用時のゆとりが異なる場合があります。また、実際のフィット感は、着用するインナーの厚さや体型、好みの着用感によって異なります。サイズをお選びになる際は、裏地の厚みやお好みの着用感も考慮しながら、厚みや構造が近いお手持ちのジャケットを平置きで計測し、身幅・着丈・裄丈・袖丈・肩幅を掲載のサイズ実寸と比較してご検討ください。

商品説明
東洋エンタープライズが展開するミリタリーレーベル、Buzz Rickson's(バズリクソンズ)のType DECK A-2デッキジャケット(Lot No. BR16016 / Type DECK A-2 BUZZ RICKSON MFG. CO.)です。
A-2デッキジャケットは、米海軍の甲板作業用ジャケットであるN-1の後継モデルとして、1960年代前半に採用されました。軍規定色にはオリーブドラブが用いられ、仕様の変更を重ねながら約30年にわたって採用された、息の長いモデルです。
最初期のモデルでは、N-1に用いられていたコットングログランの表地とアルパカ・ウールの裏地に代わり、バックサテンの表地と化繊ボアの裏地を組み合わせています。こうした素材の変更には、生産性と製造コストを見直す背景があったとされています。
フロントをジッパーとボタン留めの前立てで閉じる構造や、袖口の内側に収めたニットリブなど、基本的なディテールはN-1から引き継いでいます。一方で、衿は表地と共生地の折り返し衿へと変更され、胸ポケットと裾のアジャスターが加わりました。防寒衣料としての機能を受け継ぎながら、素材と各部の仕様を改めた、米海軍のユーティリティジャケットです。
表地と胸ポケットフラップには、製造時期による違いが見られます。1962年契約の最初期モデルには表地にバックサテンが用いられ、1964年契約のセカンドモデルのみ、表地にジャングルクロスが採用されました。この二つのモデルに共通する特徴が、下端の中央を尖らせた三角形の胸ポケットフラップです。それ以降のモデルでは、フラップの下端が横方向に直線となる形状へ変更され、表地もバックサテンに戻されています。
さらに、1970年代以降には、表地に軽量で強度があり、濡れた際にも乾きやすいコットン・ナイロン混紡生地が採用されるようになりました。生産時の作りやすさも見直され、袖口の補強が簡略化されるなど、長い採用期間の中で素材や縫製仕様にも変化が見られます。
本製品は、その初期のA-2に見られるバックサテンの表地と、下端の中央を尖らせた胸ポケットフラップを備えた復刻モデルです。表地にはコットン100%のバックサテン、裏地には化繊混紡ボアを使用しています。オリーブドラブの外観に、ジッパーとボタン留めの前立てによる二重構造、袖口の内蔵リブ、裾のアジャスターを組み合わせ、初期のA-2デッキジャケットを特徴づける実用的な構成を再現しています。
表地には、コットン100%のバックサテンを使用しています。高密度に織り上げられ、適度なハリとコシがありながら、しなやかさも備えた丈夫な生地です。表面には横方向に筋が走るような糸ムラが見られ、細かな織り目とともに、生地に自然な表情を与えています。肩や袖付け、脇の縫い目の周囲には、生地が細かく波打つパッカリングも見られます。生地そのものの横方向のムラ感と、縫い目に沿う細かな起伏が組み合わさり、ミリタリーウェアらしい無骨な風合いを生み出しています。
身頃と袖の裏地には、ポリエステル70%・アクリル30%の混紡ボアを使用しています。毛足が小さな房状にまとまり、表面に凹凸が現れた、厚みのあるボア生地です。毛足の間に空気を含むことで保温層を作り、衣服内部の熱が逃げるのを抑えます。フロントの前端の裏側には、表地と同じバックサテンを使用した見返しを設け、開閉部の縁を整えています。また、裾は表地を内側へ折り返して始末しています。ボア裏地は、前端では見返しの身頃側の縁から、裾では折り返し部分の上端から始まり、身頃から袖にかけて配されています。脇部分のボア裏地には、縁をパイピングで始末した開口部を設けています。この開口部は表地と裏地の間の空間につながっています。ボアで内側全面を塞がず、表地と裏地の間へ空気が通る余地を設けたディテールとなっています。適度なハリとコシを持つバックサテンの表地に、裏ボアの厚みが加わることで、着用時の外観にも防寒用ジャケットらしいふくらみとボリュームが生まれます。
フロント開閉部には、金属製のジッパーを採用しています。「TALON」の刻印が入った引き手には、牛革製の革紐を延長タブとして結び付けています。つかむ部分を延長することで、グローブを着用した状態でもジッパーの開閉操作を行いやすい構造となっています。また、革紐は結び目をほどくことで取り外すこともできます。着用者から見て左身頃の前端には、ジッパーを覆うストームフラップ(防風用の前立て)を備えています。フラップには横方向に開けたボタンホールを縦一列に5つ設け、右身頃のジッパーに沿う位置には、それぞれに対応する5つの四つ穴ボタンを取り付けています。ジッパーで前開きを閉じた後、その上からフラップを重ね、ボタンで固定する二重の開閉構造です。開閉部に生地の重なりを持たせ、ジッパーの噛み合わせ部分へ直接風が当たるのを抑えることで、衣服内部への冷気の侵入を軽減します。
衿には、表地と同じバックサテンを使用しています。左右の衿先を尖らせた、シャツカラータイプの折り返し衿です。衿先に丸みを持たせ、表衿にパイルを配したN-1の衿から、表地と共生地の折り返し衿へと変更された点も、A-2デッキジャケットの外観上の特徴です。
左胸には、フラップ付きのパッチポケットを配置しています。ポケット布を身頃の表側へ縫い付け、開口部の上側にフラップを取り付けた構造です。ポケット本体の左右の下角は斜めに落とし、フラップは下端の中央が尖った形状に仕立てています。フラップをポケットの入口にかぶせ、金属製のスナップボタンで固定する仕様です。入口を上から覆うことで、収納物が不用意に飛び出すのを抑えるつくりとなっています。ポケット口は生地を内側へ折り返し、ステッチで押さえて始末しています。片側だけに設けた胸ポケットと、中央が尖ったフラップが、フロントの特徴的なディテールとなっています。
フロント左右の腰部分には、手を差し入れやすいように開口部を斜めに設けた、片玉縁のハンドウォーマーポケットを配置しています。開口部の片側に表地と共生地の口布を設け、収納部となる袋布は身頃の内側に収めています。胸のパッチポケットとは異なり、表側には細長い開口部と口布が見える構造です。開口部の上下端には補強ステッチを施しています。
袖は、身頃の袖ぐり(アームホール)に袖山を縫い合わせるセットインスリーブ仕様です。袖本体の表地は、片袖につき1枚の生地パーツで構成され、腕の内側にあたる袖下で生地の端同士を縫い合わせ、筒状に仕立てた一枚袖の構造です。袖口は、表地と同じバックサテンの別布を縫い付けて始末しています。袖口にボタンなどの開閉用の留め具は設けず、袖先の内側にウール100%のニットリブを収めています。外側のバックサテン生地がリブを覆うことで、作業時の摩擦や引っ掛かりによる編み地の摩耗・損傷を抑えるつくりです。内蔵したニットリブは、その伸縮性によって手首まわりを包み、袖口の隙間を小さくします。これにより、袖先からの冷気の侵入と衣服内部の暖気の流出を抑え、保温性を高めています。
後身頃の表地は、背中心の接ぎや背ヨークによる切り替え、アクションプリーツを設けない構成です。背中には広い生地の面が続き、表地の織り目や自然な起伏がそのまま現れます。身頃はウエストを強く絞り込まず、裾へ向かって比較的まっすぐに落ちる形です。
裾は表地を内側へ折り返し、横方向のステッチで押さえて始末しています。裾の両サイドには、2本の織りテープを金属製バックルで連結したアジャスターを取り付けています。2本のテープは脇の縫い目を挟んで配され、それぞれの付け根を身頃へ縫い付けています。バックルに通したテープの長さを調整することで、左右それぞれで裾まわりの締め具合を変えることができます。裾の開きを絞り、身体との隙間や動いた際の裾の広がりを抑える役割があります。
首裏には、「U.S. NAVY」の名称、契約番号「DA-36-243-QM(CTM)-11192-C-62」、サイズ表記、「JACKET, INTERMEDIATE COLD WEATHER (A2)」の文字を配した復刻ラベルを縫い付けています。当時の官給衣料を思わせる意匠を再現しています。ラベル上部には、表地と共生地のハンガーループを設けています。
初期の海軍A-2デッキジャケットに見られる素材感や各部の特徴を再現した復刻モデルです。海上の寒さや風に対応するための防寒構造と、甲板作業用の衣料としての実用的なディテールを受け継ぎ、ミリタリーウェアらしい無骨な表情を備えた一着です。

Buzz Rickson's Men's U.S. Navy A-2 Deck Jacket Reproduction, 100% Cotton Back-Satin Shell with Synthetic Pile Lining, TALON Zipper and Concealed Wool Cuffs, Made in Japan (BR16016, 01 Olive Drab)
Buzz Rickson's
This men's Type A-2 deck jacket is made in Japan by Buzz Rickson's, Toyo Enterprises' military label specializing in reproductions and interpretations of vintage American military clothing. Based on an early version of the U.S. Navy utility jacket developed as the successor to the N-1 deck jacket, this model combines an Olive Drab 100% cotton back-satin shell with a substantial polyester-and-acrylic pile lining through the body and sleeves. Its construction includes a TALON-marked metal zipper with a removable cowhide pull extension, a five-button storm flap, a matching fabric collar, a chest pocket with a pointed snap-fastened flap, slanted handwarmer pockets, concealed wool rib-knit cuffs, and adjustable straps at both sides of the hem. The regular fit and relatively straight body preserve the practical proportions of the early naval design, while the thickness of the shell and lining gives the jacket its characteristic cold-weather volume. These materials and functional details bring the character of a military deck jacket into everyday casual wear.
Size and Fit Guide:
Gender: Men.
Fit: In terms of how it feels when worn, this jacket falls on the slightly slimmer side of a regular fit, without being overly tight or having the roominess of a relaxed fit. The shoulders are not cut especially wide, and the thick pile lining occupies some of the space inside the garment, contributing to its slightly trim feel.
In terms of its appearance when worn, the firm, substantial cotton back-satin shell and thick pile lining give the jacket the moderate fullness characteristic of an A-2 deck jacket. With continued wear, the fabric gradually becomes more supple and settles into a more naturally broken-in feel.
The set-in sleeves establish a defined shoulder line, while the body falls relatively straight toward the hem without pronounced shaping at the waist. The side adjusters allow the hem opening to be drawn in as needed. Together with the thickness of the lining, these features give the jacket a substantial appearance without an oversized cut.
The listed measurements are exterior measurements taken from the outside of the jacket. Because the pile lining takes up space inside, this jacket may provide less usable room than a thinner jacket with the same listed chest width. Please consider this difference when comparing measurements and choosing your size.
The numbers on the reproduction neck label should not be treated as a direct equivalent of contemporary sizing. Taking the jacket's fit and the thickness of its pile lining into account, our approximate comparisons with general US/EU sizing are listed below.
Approximate Size Guide
Tagged Size S (reproduction neck label: 34-36): Approximately US/EU XS-S.
Tagged Size M (reproduction neck label: 38-40): Approximately US/EU S-M.
Tagged Size L (reproduction neck label: 42-44): Approximately US/EU M-L.
Tagged Size XL (reproduction neck label: 46-48): Approximately US/EU L-XL.
Tagged Size XXL (reproduction neck label: 50-52): Approximately US/EU XL-XXL.
These comparisons are intended only as a general guide, as sizing varies among brands and garments. Actual fit will depend on your body type, the thickness of the layers worn underneath, and your preferred amount of room. Depending on your build and intended layering, you may wish to consider one size larger than you usually choose.
To help select your size, please measure a similar lined jacket that fits you well, ideally one with comparable thickness and construction, and compare its chest width, body length, center-back sleeve length, sleeve length from the shoulder seam, and shoulder width with the measurements below.
Our model wears Tagged Size M. He is 175 cm / approximately 5'9" tall, weighs 59 kg / approximately 130 lbs, and has a 91 cm / approximately 36" chest. For reference, he normally wears a US/EU size S/36.

[How We Measure the Actual Garment]
Width (Chest Width / Half Chest): Measured with the jacket laid flat, straight across from side to side approximately 3cm (about 1.2 in.) below the underarms. This is a flat width measurement, not the garment's full chest circumference or the wearer's chest measurement.
Length (Body Length): Measured down the back from the base of the collar, at the seam where the collar joins the body, to the bottom edge of the hem. The height of the collar is not included.
Sleeve (Center-Back Sleeve Length): The first sleeve measurement is taken from the center back at the base of the collar seam, across the shoulder, and down to the end of the outer shell cuff. The measurement ends at the edge of the back-satin sleeve opening.
Sleeve in Parentheses (Sleeve Length from Shoulder Seam): The measurement in parentheses is taken from the shoulder seam down to the end of the outer shell cuff. As with the center-back sleeve measurement, the endpoint is the edge of the back-satin sleeve opening.
Shoulder (Shoulder Width): Measured straight across the back from one shoulder seam to the other.

U.S. Navy A-2 Deck Jacket Background
The A-2 deck jacket was adopted in the early 1960s as the successor to the U.S. Navy's N-1 jacket for work on deck. Olive Drab was used as the regulation color, and the design remained in service for approximately three decades while undergoing changes to its materials and construction.
The earliest A-2 jackets replaced the N-1's cotton grosgrain shell and alpaca-and-wool lining with a back-satin shell and synthetic pile lining. These material changes are understood to have reflected a reassessment of production efficiency and manufacturing costs.
The A-2 retained several fundamental cold-weather details from the N-1, including a front zipper covered by a button-fastened storm flap and rib-knit cuffs concealed inside the sleeves. At the same time, it introduced a turn-down collar made from the shell fabric, a chest pocket, and hem adjusters. These changes established the A-2 as a naval utility jacket that carried forward the earlier garment's protective construction while revising its materials and functional details.
Early Back-Satin Configuration with a Pointed Chest-Pocket Flap
The shell fabric and chest-pocket flap changed during the A-2's production history. The earliest jackets made under the 1962 contract used back satin, while jungle cloth was used for the second version under the 1964 contract. Both early configurations featured a chest-pocket flap with a pointed center along its lower edge.
Subsequent versions changed to a flap with a straight horizontal lower edge and returned to a back-satin shell. From the 1970s onward, cotton-and-nylon blends also came into use, offering a combination of lightness, strength, and relatively quick drying when wet. Construction was revised over time to simplify manufacturing, including changes to the reinforcement around the sleeve openings.
This reproduction follows the early configuration with a 100% cotton back-satin shell and a pointed chest-pocket flap. Its polyester-and-acrylic pile lining, covered zipper front, concealed rib-knit cuffs, and adjustable hem reproduce the practical arrangement associated with the early A-2 deck jacket.
100% Cotton Back-Satin Shell
The outer shell is made from densely woven 100% cotton back satin. The fabric combines durability with moderate firmness and body, while retaining enough suppleness to bend and move naturally. This balance helps the shell hold its shape without making the garment completely rigid.
Subtle yarn irregularities form horizontal streaks across the surface, adding texture alongside the fine woven structure. Small ripples of seam puckering are also visible around areas such as the shoulders, armholes, and side seams. The horizontal variation within the cloth and the localized undulations along the stitching give the Olive Drab shell its rugged military character.
Substantial Polyester-and-Acrylic Pile Lining
The body and sleeves are lined with a thick synthetic pile fabric made from 70% polyester and 30% acrylic. The pile gathers into small tufts, creating an uneven, textured surface with noticeable depth. Air held between the fibers forms an insulating layer that helps reduce heat loss from inside the jacket.
The thickness of the lining also affects the jacket's shape and fit. Combined with the firm back-satin shell, it creates soft fullness through the body and sleeves and gives the exterior the substantial appearance of a cold-weather jacket. This same thickness occupies part of the space inside the garment, which is why the exterior measurements should be considered together with the lining when choosing a size.
Back-Satin Front Facings and Turned Hem
The inside edges of the front opening are finished with facings made from the same back satin as the shell. These fabric sections form the interior borders of the opening and provide a defined finish beside the front closure.
At the bottom of the body, the shell fabric turns inward to finish the hem. The pile lining begins at the body-side edges of the front facings and above the upper edge of the turned hem section, then extends through the body and sleeves. This arrangement places woven shell fabric around the opening and lower edge while retaining the thickness of the pile across the main interior areas.
Bound Openings in the Underarm Lining
Openings are incorporated into the pile lining at the underarms, with their edges finished in piping. These openings lead into the space between the outer shell and the lining.
The pile therefore does not form a completely uninterrupted layer across these areas. The openings provide a route for air to pass into the space between the two layers, while the piping gives their edges a neat, defined finish.
TALON-Marked Metal Zipper with a Removable Cowhide Pull Extension
The front opening uses a metal zipper with a pull stamped "TALON." A cowhide leather cord is tied to the pull as an extension, increasing the area available to grasp when operating the zipper.
The extended pull makes the zipper easier to handle while wearing gloves. Because the leather cord is tied in place, it can also be removed by undoing the knot.
Five-Button Storm Flap over the Front Zipper
A storm flap extends from the front edge of the wearer's left body panel and covers the zipper. Five horizontal buttonholes are arranged vertically along the flap, with five corresponding four-hole buttons positioned beside the zipper on the wearer's right panel.
After the zipper is closed, the flap folds over it and fastens with the buttons, forming a two-stage closure. The overlapping fabric shields the zipper teeth from direct exposure to wind and helps reduce cold air entering through the front opening.
Matching Back-Satin Turn-Down Collar
The collar is made from the same cotton back satin as the shell and has the pointed ends of a shirt-style turn-down collar. Its woven surface continues the texture and Olive Drab color of the body.
This collar is one of the visible changes from the N-1 design, which used a pile-covered upper collar with more rounded ends. The A-2's matching fabric collar gives the neckline the simpler appearance associated with a utility jacket.
Left Chest Patch Pocket with a Pointed Snap-Fastened Flap
A patch pocket is sewn onto the outside of the wearer's left chest, with a separate flap attached above its opening. The lower corners of the pocket body are cut at an angle, while the lower edge of the flap extends to a point at the center.
The flap covers the pocket entrance and secures with a metal snap, helping keep the contents from slipping out unintentionally. The pocket opening itself is turned inward and secured with stitching to finish the edge.
The single chest pocket creates an asymmetrical arrangement across the front. Its pointed flap is a defining detail of the early A-2 configuration reproduced by this jacket.
Slanted Single-Welt Handwarmer Pockets
Handwarmer pockets are positioned at both sides of the lower front, with slanted openings that allow the hands to enter naturally. Each opening is finished with a single welt made from the shell fabric, while the pocket bag is housed inside the body.
This construction leaves a narrow opening and welt visible on the exterior, keeping the lower front relatively flat. Reinforcement stitching is applied at the upper and lower ends of each opening to support the points that receive stress when the pockets are used.
Set-In Sleeves with One-Piece Shell Panels
The sleeves use a set-in construction, with each sleeve cap sewn into the corresponding armhole of the body. This creates a defined seam around the armhole and a natural transition from the shoulder into the sleeve.
Each main sleeve shell is formed from a single fabric panel. The panel's edges are joined along the underside of the arm to create the sleeve tube. A separate piece of matching back satin is sewn around the sleeve end to finish the outer cuff area.
Concealed 100% Wool Rib-Knit Cuffs
The sleeve openings have no buttons or other adjustable fasteners. Instead, 100% wool rib-knit cuffs are housed inside the sleeve ends, beneath the outer back-satin fabric.
The woven outer cuffs cover the knit sections and help protect them from abrasion and snagging during use. Inside, the elasticity of the rib knit allows the cuffs to wrap around the wrists and reduce gaps at the sleeve openings.
This arrangement helps limit cold air entering through the sleeves and warm air escaping from inside the jacket. It also preserves the plain woven appearance of the sleeve ends while placing the flexible knit cuffs where they can follow the wrists.
Uninterrupted Back Panel and Relatively Straight Body
The back shell has no center-back joining seam, separate back yoke, or action pleats. Its broad, uninterrupted fabric surface allows the woven texture and natural undulations of the back satin to remain visible.
The body is not strongly drawn in at the waist and falls relatively straight toward the hem. This straightforward construction preserves the practical shape of a naval work jacket, while the underlying pile lining adds moderate outward fullness.
Turned Hem with Buckle-Adjustable Side Straps
The lower edge is finished by turning the shell fabric inward and securing it with horizontal stitching. At each side of the hem, an adjuster is formed from two lengths of woven tape connected by a metal buckle.
The two tape sections are positioned on opposite sides of the side seam, with their fixed ends sewn to the body. Changing the length of tape passing through the buckle allows the hem to be adjusted independently on each side.
Drawing in the adjusters reduces the opening around the lower body and helps limit gaps between the jacket and the wearer. It also controls how far the hem spreads outward during movement.
Reproduction U.S. Navy Neck Label and Fabric Hanging Loop
A reproduction label is sewn inside the back neckline. It includes the "U.S. NAVY" name, contract number "DA-36-243-QM(CTM)-11192-C-62," a size marking, and the wording "JACKET, INTERMEDIATE COLD WEATHER (A2)."
The lettering and layout reproduce the appearance of period government-issued clothing labels. A hanging loop made from the same fabric as the shell is positioned above the label.
Made in Japan
Buzz Rickson's Type DECK A-2 "BUZZ RICKSON MFG. CO." jacket is made in Japan. Its cotton back-satin shell, substantial synthetic pile lining, covered zipper front, concealed wool cuffs, and adjustable hem bring together the materials and practical details associated with an early U.S. Navy A-2 deck jacket.
The pointed chest-pocket flap, plain fabric collar, and relatively straight body preserve the character of the naval utility design. Its rugged appearance comes from the texture of the woven shell, the thickness of the lining, and the construction of the individual components, carrying forward the cold-weather features and functional character of clothing developed for work on deck.
