Buzz Rickson's ‘Jolly Rogers’ 6.5oz Loopwheeled Pocket T-Shirt – Wine

Some graphics look good. Others tell a story. This Buzz Rickson's loopwheeled pocket T-shirt belongs firmly in the latter category. Inspired by the legendary 90th Bombardment Group, better known as the "Jolly Rogers", the artwork pays tribute to one of the most distinguished U.S. Army Air Forces units of World War II. Operating B-24 Liberators throughout the Pacific Theater, the group earned its reputation through long-range bombing missions over New Guinea, the Philippines, and beyond. The iconic skull-and-crossbones imagery references the traditional pirate flag from which the unit drew its nickname, while the markings 400th Bomb Squadron and 90th Bomb Group connect the design to an actual wartime bomber unit.

At the center of the back print is a striking piece of vintage-inspired nose art, echoing the hand-painted graphics that once adorned American bombers. Combined with the faded military-style print finish and the unique wine-colored body, the result feels less like a modern graphic tee and more like a well-preserved piece of postwar sportswear. The chest print subtly repeats the "Jolly Rogers" lettering above the pocket, creating a balanced design that remains understated from the front while revealing its full character from behind.

Like the best Buzz Rickson's T-shirts, the story is matched by exceptional construction. Made in the USA from 100% cotton loopwheel jersey, the fabric is knitted slowly on vintage loopwheel machines to create a seamless tubular body without side seams. The medium-weight jersey offers the soft, slightly irregular texture associated with classic American athletic wear, while a durable binder neck, and double-needle construction ensure comfort and longevity from the very first wear. A genuine military-inspired graphic tee built with the same attention to detail that has made Buzz Rickson's a benchmark for vintage reproduction clothing.
