Full look | Buzz Rickson's, Merz B. Schwanen

A tribute to mid-century American workwear with true WWII authenticity. The Buzz Rickson’s BR43041 Waist Overalls and matching WWII Denim Blouse recreate classic U.S. military denim with period-correct 13.6oz fabric, suspender buttons, and original stitching details — raw, rugged, and full of historical charm. Underneath, the Merz b. Schwanen 1950s Loopwheel Tee in white adds a soft, vintage touch with its lightweight cotton and tubular construction. Finished with vintage Red Wing boots, this is a head-to-toe homage to durable, honest clothing from a time when garments were built to serve — and to last.

As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart and comparing it with your best-fitting jacket to find the perfect size.

Buzz Rickson's BR43041 13.6oz WWII Blue Denim Waist Overalls Jeans

Fit Notes: These jeans run small. Compared to most global American brands, we recommend sizing up one from your usual size for a comfortable fit. The denim is unsanforized but has been one-washed, so no further shrinkage is expected. With regular wear, the waistband will stretch approximately 1 inch, allowing the fit to settle comfortably over time. We don't recommend sizing down, as starting too tight may cause discomfort and alter the intended fit of the garment. As always, we strongly recommend checking our size chart and comparing it to your best-fitting pair to find the perfect size.

Pascual is 185 cm (6'1") tall, weighs 65 kg (143 lbs), and wears a size 30 in these jeans. He typically wears a size 29 in American brands and a size 29 or 30 in most Japanese brands.

Merz classic fit runs a bit smaller in size compared to your regular American size.

This t-shirt is not industrial pre-washed. Please, consider aprox. 3% (2-3cm) shrinkage in lenght after the first wash. However, this shrinkage length is already calculated when cutting the product, and extra length is added. So it may be that the first time you try on the shirt, it seems a little too long. But be sure: after the first wash, it fits perfectly.
