They were made to identify a squadron, commemorate a deployment, and preserve the pride of the men who served together. The \u003cb\u003eVMA-223 Slub Yarn T-Shirt by Buzz Rickson's \u003c\/b\u003ecaptures that spirit with understated authenticity, drawing inspiration from one of the most distinguished \u003cb\u003eattack squadrons\u003c\/b\u003e in the history of the \u003cb\u003eUnited States Marine Corps.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCommissioned in \u003cb\u003e1942 on Oahu, Hawaii, Marine Attack Squadron 223\u003c\/b\u003e earned its reputation during the brutal Pacific campaign, including the Battle of Guadalcanal. The \u003cb\u003ehand-painted squadron insignia\u003c\/b\u003e on the back recalls the artwork once found on flight jackets, maintenance lockers, and barracks walls — personal emblems that represented brotherhood, courage, and unit pride. Marked with \u003cb\u003eAtsugi, Japan 1953–1954\u003c\/b\u003e, the design commemorates the squadron's post-war deployment during a pivotal period of rebuilding and Cold War readiness, while the subtle chest print mirrors the understated military issue garments worn on base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe body is knitted in Japan from specially developed \u003cb\u003eslub yarn cotton\u003c\/b\u003e, creating an irregular vintage texture reminiscent of early military sportswear. Combined with traditional \u003cb\u003eloopwheel construction\u003c\/b\u003e, the fabric offers exceptional comfort, natural character, and will develop even more depth with years of wear. Finished with softly faded, hand-painted style graphics, this is more than a printed T-Shirt — it is a faithful tribute to the legacy of Marine Corps aviation and the enduring craftsmanship that defines Buzz Rickson's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eBuzz Rickson's VMA-223 Slub Yarn T-Shirt\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eBR79732\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eOff White 105\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eRegular Fit\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e100% Cotton\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eOriginal Slub Yarn Jersey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003e6.5oz Tubular Knit (No Side Seams)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eRibbed Collar\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eOne Wash: Minimal Shrinkage\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\"\u003eMade In Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eHubertus is 176cm tall, weights 88kg and wears size\u003cstrong\u003e X-LARGE.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eJürgen is 188cm tall, weighs 85kg and wears a size\u003cstrong\u003e X-LARGE.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot sure about your size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFind our measurement chart below (Fitting Guide) and see how we measure. \u003cbr\u003eStill not sure?
