I ordered an A-4 Watch Cap from the William Gibson Collection in japan now. I just hobe the bastards from the customs department don't get it in their greedy hands.

I'm realy looking forward to this, since it now starts to get colder here.

They are great hats Cole. I am quite sure you will like it a lot! Depending on your head size, it might start out a bit snug but will stretch to be more comfortable.

Either that or you could give your head a hot wash with lotsa agitation.

Decided the buzz beanie is too big, picked up a usn issue watch cap & the quality is grea, plus it fits well!

Been there, done that.

I just placed an order for the black Buzz Rickson x William Gibson cap.
Been looking for something a bit different to wear so figured I couldn't go wrong.

They are the nicest I have seen. I just got mine a month ago and I absolutely love it

[Broark]

Can't imagine it'll get a lot of year round wear for me but it'll be nice in the winter.

I try to get a Buzz Cap from Japan…can anyone shed light on how the William Gibson and regular cap differ? And how does RealMcCoys compare to them?

[Broark]

I don't have any personal experience (yet) with either but from what I can tell the William Gibson label is further inside the cap, while the normal Buzz ones have the issue label closer towards the hem.
And I think they only make the black one for the William Gibson line.
But that's about it I think, I could be wrong!

Thanks, I knew about the Label but thought that wouldn't be the only difference. I found a black non Gibson cap, though the store just informed me they won't sell them to me. Will look further then.

Max, have you tried buzz ricksons Europe direct? Also try American classics in London as they did have them not long ago. Also a long shot but could also try peggs and son.

I know about them, but with the weak Yen I would pay the double Price. I already found another retailer, let's see how this works out.

i do remenber few years ago on one forum a member asking Kiya why the William Gibson´s line is more expensive than Buzz Rickson´s one.
Kiya´s answer was very short and precise : "…2 letters my mate...WG! that´s it!"

My cap is in the hands of the fekking customs department. Greedy bastards!

[Max Power]

Based on its value you shouldn't get charged…below 50€, right?

[Cole]

Actually you have to pay at least the 19% VAT for everything over 22,00 €.
