Buzz Rickson

[natehate]

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

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)

[davito]

I like it looks great on you. what size is it?

[Morose_Penguin]

36 Long. Just replied to your PM…

[Finn666]

sell or not?

MP are you awake? feck…that's a perfect fit buddy...keep the damn thing will ya!
first pics looks fecking A.

[Morose_Penguin]

It's not the fit that's the problem Rafa, it's the amount of other jackets I have at the moment, plus the sudden need for some extra money :(.

If I didn't have to, there is no way I'd sell. If I can get enough other stuff sold I might be able to keep it. But it's only an check at the moment. Have to see what happens over the next 3-4 weeks…

[Finn666]

what other jackets do you have that you could sell?

remember the colder months are coming and imo this is the perfect jacket for the upcoming weather…

[Morose_Penguin]

That's the trouble, the other jackets I have:

IH-2527J (Small)
IH-526BJ (Large)
IH-531
IHJ-08 (Small)

I don't think I could part with, one of which hasn't even been delivered yet. Although the 2527…

@Finn666:

remember the colder months are coming and imo this is the perfect jacket for the upcoming weather…

But the IHJ-08 takes care of this, as will the IH-531 (big enough to layer with) and the Type III has been worn in temperatures of 1 degree C before now.
