Masterpiece Military Pants
Share
Today, let me tell you a little about why the "M-1951 FIELD SHELL TROUSERS" by "BUZZ RICKSON'S", which we at Prime have started carrying, is so great.
> First of all, what is "M-1951 (M-51) TROUSERS"?
As the name suggests, these are military pants adopted by the US Army in 1951. Due to their refined detail, they are often referred to as the "finest masterpiece of military wear" and are a favorite among not only military enthusiasts but also fashion lovers.
>Why "BUZZ RICKSON'S"?
To date, many famous brands have sampled and remade the M-1951 (from collection brands to street brands).
Needless to say, these numerous remakes have fascinated fashion lovers.
However, for me personally, I couldn't deny that it felt too sophisticated, and I wanted military wear to be a bit more rugged.
We were looking for military wear to have the kind of "strength" that "develops character" the more it is worn until it is worn down.
So this " This is BUZZ RICKSON'S "M-1951".
As you can see at a glance, the color and texture of the fabric are very accurate. It is actually very difficult to find an original item in this condition these days.
And the attention to detail is "extraordinary."
The zippers used are CONMATIC and "MADE IN USA", and the font used for the specifications printed on the back of the pocket is reproduced, which is beyond comprehension.
To be honest, there is no end to the attention to detail that goes into this.
But the thing I want you to pay the most attention to is this
> Shorter length (inseam)
is.
One of the biggest problems you may face when wearing vintage military clothing is that it's too long.
"Clothes issued to the U.S. military"
This means that they are not suitable for the Japanese body type, and the drawstring at the hem, which is unique to military pants, does not allow the hem to be shortened.
Now take a look at this BUZZ RICKSON'S size chart.
size | Waist | Inseam | Rise | Crossing |
M | 81.0 | 71.0 | 29.0 | 36.0 |
L | 86.0 | 71.0 | 31.0 | 37.0 |
XL | 93.0 | 71.0 | 32.5 | 38.0 |
* Unit: cm(centimeters)
The thing to pay attention to here is the inseam.
In most cases, the inseam length increases in proportion to the size, but the length of these BUZZ RICKSON'S pants does not change from M to XL.
Moreover, the length is 71.0cm, which is much shorter than the original M-51 REGULAR. (The original also has a "SHORT LENGTH" version, but this version has a much longer rise and an extremely short inseam.)
Simply shortening it would lose the persuasive power of the original's perfect balance.
However, this is TOYO ENTERPRISE, a professional clothing manufacturing group.
The sense of balance is truly impressive, as the design is exquisitely reconstructed to suit the Japanese body type, while never straying from the original.
And this "shortness" is in the design concept of the M-51.
" Considering the need to wear it in cold climates, the loose fit emphasizes the effect of trapping body heat and blocking outside air ."
Combined, it creates a beautiful silhouette.
These are great pants and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pair of military pants that will last a long time.
