バズリクソンズがブランドデビュー10周年の時に初めてプロデュースしたBLACK MA-1。世界的に著名な小説家ウィリアム・ギブソン氏の『パターン・レコグニション』には、登場する主人公が着用する『Buzz Rickson’s Black MA-1』の文字が刻まれている。その小説から飛び出し、実際のBuzz Rickson’s Black MA-1が誕生した。米空軍において1950年代に正式採用となったMA-1の規定色は本来ならセージ・グリーンであるが、色がブラックでミルスペックに基づいた軍規格のパーツ、資材を使用した本格志向のBLACK MA-1は世の中に存在していない。そのため市場において本物志向のユーザーからは好評で話題となった。資材をそれぞれブラックの色で指示してもそれぞれ素材によって染まり方が異なり、それらを一着のジャケットに構成すると微妙に色の差が表れ、フライトジャケットがどれだけの異素材で構成されているのかが明確になる。
The liner for the M-65 parka was not originally intended to be worn alone, but by adding buttons, making it wearable as a jacket as well.

Early in 2003, best-selling novelist William Gibson released a groundbreaking new book, “PATTERN RECOGNITION”. This absorbing and masterfully crafted novel is set in the period immediately following “9-11”, featuring a high-tech., super-hip, cyber-chic, anti-fashion sophisticate, Cayce Pollard, as the heroine. Brilliantly woven within the many pages of cutting-edge prose Mr. Gibson has crafted is the one object more valued by Cayce Pollard than any other her Black Buzz Rickson’s MA-1 Flying Jacket. William Gibson is an author of superior talent and exceptional good taste. Vintage clothing represents an area of personal interest to him, especially wristwatches, US flying jackets and jeans. He is a great admirer of the goods produced by Buzz Rickson’s, which is what provided the inspiration for the fictionalized Buzz Rickson’s black MA-1 jacket worn by his central character, Cayce Pollard, in his novel. In the course of writing his novel, Mr.Gibson was aware that no MA-1 jackets were ever produced for the USAF in black but he decided to make the color of Cayce's jacket black, not Sage Green, which is the original color of the MA-1,because Cayce's jacket needed to be black in the creative vision of Mr.Gibson. Today, Buzz Rickson's is proud to introduce the all new William Gibson Collection of Classic Military Jacket Styles produced exclusively in BLACK.
