Deck jacket arrived, and I'm really really pleased with it. The quality is spot on, and I love the crinkle noise when I move, ha ha..

hopefully you won't hate me as well Gave…

[Megatron1505]

Nah, I dont hate either of you 

It is a little on the large size, but the shitty pic/ angle isn't helping, trust me it aint that bad in the flesh. I bought it a bit big to layer up in deepest winter, with a thick hoody or flannel under it. Basically it's a function over form purchase this time, and at the sale price it worked out too good to miss as a replacement for my overly bulky Alpha N3B.

P.S

Pam is super stoked about the curry, guess what I'll be eating when we get home, ha ha.

I'm pretty sure that it will work perfectly with some layers underneath!..

Hey Megatron are you coming to Gosport next weekend? It would be interesting to compare your Buzz to my BR N-1 (WG collab). They are both tagged 44.

[Megatron1505]

Thats my thoughts too Seul hopefully, but it's 22 degrees here at the minute so just wearing the jacket on its own was uncomfortable, add a thick hoody and, well….

[Megatron1505]

Hey Hectic, that I am, but I'm hoping it's gonna be too hot to wear the BR, ha ha. You want me to bring it along to compare anyway?

[hectic]

If you were driving, sure. But don't otherwise, of course.

Buzz Rickson's loopwheeled sweater, size LARGE, OATMEAL, going up for sale later today. PM if interested.

[MastersOfDeath]

Anyone suggest a washing/cleaning method for an olive BR N1?

[mvb]

anyone know what is different about the fit of the pre 2011 and current sweaters?

[marco]

I have both and basically the new ones give a slightly slimmer/longer fit and are a tiny bit thinner/lighter.

If your tall and slim they will fit better - if your shorter and broader the old ones fit nicer.

personally i prefer the new fit.. they also have a slightly smaller neck opening than the old ones which i prefer.

[Guest]

I wouldn't recommend Buzz sweats. You can do better for the $200 price tag.

[marco]

i'm yet to try the Strike Golds but i prefer the Buzz's (new and old) to the Real Mccoys.. just imo.

incase anyone is interested, i have a brand new buzz peacoat in a size 40 for sale. i only just received it, never worn. beautiful quality, and very warm and heavy but i guess i just prefer my flight jackets.

i'd let it go for £650 delivered in the uk which is £50 cheaper than www.buzzricksons.com. as far as i know these are all sold out in this size too.

cheers

marco, stick it here with some pics: http://www.ironheart.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=5.0

Its a great coat (I have one), I am sure it will flip.

[marco]

hey hectic, thanks for that i'll do a proper sales thread a bit later.

cheers
