Buzz Rickson

[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!

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.

Best winter hat, period.

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

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.

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

Happy with the fit and the details are outstanding.

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.

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!

Sorry man, I totally missed this post. My BR sweat is XL. I go between L & XL in IH. All my IH tees that fit are L.

Thanks for that Summ!
I'm a true L in most clothes. Was thinking more of an L. My shirts are all around 22 inch P2P. Bigger is possible but they look a bit less fitted. Whatcha reckon I should go for? Also, how do the Buzz and Strike Gold sweats compare? Thanks again mon ami!

I would say there are two differences in the sweats. The BR fabric feels like a looser weave and has the loop wheeled horizontal look where the SG looks more uniform and substantial.

The second is the functional gusset. Big deal to some, but I'm not one to care either way.

[mclaincausey]

It looks to me like the first one is functional and the second is just stitching in terms of the gusset.  Or am I misreading you here?

You are so right about how the SG weave is.  I'm not sure what they do but it doesn't have as soft a hand on the outside, seems like a tighter weave and as you mention less horizontal pattern, perhaps due to this tightness.  One thing I can say is that it seems nearly impervious to gusts of wind.
