Typical Davitoan excellence!

How is the denim on those MFs?  Which jean is it?

Great stuff David

[davito]

hi guys, thx much

mclaincausey, this is the Cali lot 44 (the one with cinch back) from the American sportswear NOS collection (first cali lot 54 is without cinch). there will be a lot 64 coming in this fall sportsman collection. Those are pure straight fits with quite a leg opening. I like that.

denim is cool, 35 diff fabrics were used of course NOS, cone mills US produced 12 oz. mine is marked "PXUV". You will find some info on MF page or in Christophe's blog as well as in this link

I will post this info as well in the MF thread.

When I was a child, growing up in the UK in the late 70's/ early 80's, it was considered de rigueur to sport a brand new parka every winter. My mother favoured the style that I now know as the N-3B for me, and I have spent the last few years looking for a good one. I tried an Alpha but found it horribly oversized, I tried a vintage Schott but found it was about as warm as being wrapped in wet leaves, so imagine my excitement when I stumbled across a Buzz Rickson United Carr N-3B for not much money. It arrived today, it has a couple of the front buttons missing (hence the cheapness), but it is everything that I remember my childhood coat being, bring on the winter now !!

@summ3rhays:

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

Hey Summ
Thinking of getting a Buzz sweat but not sure of sizing. How did you size compared to IH? I'm an L in all things IH. Should I go L in this too? Thanks!

[bertoni]

Hey fellas, please help. I wouldn't mind snagging the Buzz sweat on sale. If I take L in all IH shirts, will an L in this sweatshirt fit? Thanks!

[davito]

Bertoni i dont own a buzz sweat but maybe this helps a bit

Thanks a lot Davito! As I suspected, I need an XL. Doh!

Hi, my 2 cents: It depends on the fit you want.
I wear L or XL in IH shirts.
I first had a XL Buzz (new type) and found it too big for me. Wearable, but not the snug fit I was looking for.
I then got L which fits very well.

Thanks for the info! May yet take a gamble…..

Hey Mega or anyone who has any experience with United Carr, Buzz Rickson's sister brand, how is the workmanship/quality?

[thewickett]

slightly lower quality / more modern fit. For the price you'll be pleased.

[Arabit]

Thank you wickett!

Buzz A-4 Olive.
So soft.

[MikeC]

Best winter hat, period.

[superfuzz]

I bought one from SE last year and couldn't be happier with it. Mine's olive too.

[fanya]

Bought the black version from SE couple weeks ago, I've been looking for a hat like this for a long time. It's been amazing so far.

[summ3rhays]

Picked up the black just in time. Major storm hitting mañana.

Happy with the fit and the details are outstanding.

[urbanwoodsman]

I've got the Black William Gibson Cap on the way. Can't get a better cap for $50 that's for sure.

Just in time for the first big ass storm of the season.
