Buzz Rickson’s 8.2oz 1945 Early Military Chino Shorts – Olive / Wide Straight

Few garments represent the balance between military functionality and timeless style quite like the U.S. Army Chino. For this model, Buzz Rickson's reinterprets its acclaimed 1945 Military Chino as a summer-ready short while preserving many of the original details that make the wartime design so distinctive.

Made from 8.2oz West Point Twill, a densely woven cotton fabric originally developed for military uniforms, these shorts combine durability with exceptional comfort in warm weather. The cut stays true to the 1940s inspiration, featuring a high rise, deep seat, and a relaxed, wide silhouette that offers ease of movement and a naturally comfortable fit. Authentic details include the rare U.S. Army metal waistband button, a vintage-inspired Talon zipper fly, traditional side-entry pockets, a concealed watch pocket, and neatly finished rear welt pockets. While the original trousers used a button fly, Buzz Rickson's thoughtfully updated this version with a zipper closure for everyday practicality.

A faithful military reproduction with genuine historical roots, expertly made in Japan and built to become a warm-weather staple for years to come.
