Buzz Rickson and Porter Blend Their Expertise into a Backpack

Self Edge has consistently restocked the Buzz Rickson MA-1 since the retailer first started the business in 2006. When demand stays that consistent, you know something is working correctly.

So, imagine you take all those amazing mil-spec details and turn that iconic flight jacket into something else — in this case, the Buzz Rickson x Porter Backpack. Constructed by the famed Porter Yoshida of Japan with custom fabrics and details provided by the militaria enthusiasts of Toyo Enterprises, the backpack is the MA-1 lover’s dream. Traditional nylon makes up the majority of the backpack, but a padded back and shoulder straps modernize the whole ensemble. There’s an inner laptop and velcro pocket and even one of those MA-1 arm pockets on the very front.

These bags come in Sage Green and Black and are both available from Self Edge for $695.
