In the 1990s, Japan experienced an unprecedented vintage boom, and just before this, in the late '80s, Toyo Enterprises released flight jackets under the SUGAR CANE brand. They were captivated by the combination of different materials like cotton, leather, wool ribs, and metal parts such as zippers, with their first project being the "TYPE B-15," a woven flight jacket. At that time, there were no authentic "reproductions" in the flight jacket market, and vintage jackets like "TYPE A-2" and "TYPE MA-1" were being traded at high prices. The flight jackets by SUGAR CANE, launched with the desire to fully recreate the charm of flight jackets for many to enjoy, quickly sold out, significantly influencing the launch of BUZZ RICKSON'S, a full-fledged military brand, in 1993.
