BR16041T / BUZZ RICKSON'S WORLD WAR II DENIM BLOUSE SPLIT T

This is the denim blouse that was produced under the strict material-control, or restriction that the US government imposed on the manufactures during WWII. The pocket flap was removed, and the number of front buttons was reduced to 4 from 5 pcs.
"FOR THE DURATION" written in the flasher means "during the period of war", and the change of specification due to the material control during the war is described. In the 1940s, the U.S. government awarded an "E" pennant, meaning "Excellent," to companies that produced outstanding munitions. This flasher is meant to praise Buzz Rickson’s that won the E-pennant as an excellent contractor of the flight jacket.
