Buzz Rickson

[MikeC]

My old man's Buzz Rickson Collection (Christmas presents from me):

A-10 Army Air Force Flying Gloves

ODG A-4 Watchcap (left) and William Gibson Collection A-4 Watchcap (right)

He loves all of these items. In the winter, he is always wearing his A-4. He's a machinist who runs a turret lathe

Generous presents man. What did you get in return?

[MikeC]

My ass wiped when I was a kid…

Seems like a fair trade to me.

got a rare chance to compare my bz watch cap too a mister freedom and a original one all at the same time today when me and shane went to klaxon howl

the bz is cut closer to the og but i felt the mister freedoms material was a little closer in weight to the original
the buzz was a little thicker
but with 50 plus years on the og's it is a bit hard to tell

still think the buzz is the best one out there

[seanocono]

I've always been interested how the Buzz compares to the original.  Thanks for your impressions, Nate.  Sounds like I need one.  I wear my IHC-16 all the time.  Different animals, I know, but that's a good thing, actually.

i would have loved to have a real mc coys one there to, to really get to the bottom of it all
the difference in the cut from the buzz/ og to the mister freedom is how the top is stitched closed
bz/og is a six point and the mf is a 4 point

[Qinhan]

Yep, I really like the BR one too.  Seriously nice wool.

[jacoavlu]

BR and MF are both made by toyo (as is sugar cane) I would have guessed the materials would be the same

apparently they only go up to 9.5???

[Qinhan]

Am I missing something or are these basically just Lone Wolf boots that have had the Buzz Rickson name added to them for the European market?

[Sugar Mountain]

No, they are simply Lone Wolf boots being sold through Buzz Rickson's. Both made by Toyo Enterprises after all.

Just picked up my first Buzz Rickson item.  Loving the sweatshirt right from the get go.

This from Snowy, a man-bag signed by one of my heroes, William Gibson. Wanted to show the A-2 pocket.

[Snowy]

swoon. Happily ever after right there :). Works perfectly with the OG A-2 too

[mclaincausey]

Fits the iPad mini and plenty of accessories with aplomb as well. Love it

Thanks again!

Fit pics et al of my WGxBR MA-1, undecided as to sell or not…

And the book that got me spending so much money (well this and 'Zero History' shakes fist at William Gibson)
