This webshop has been always a "mistery" for me…
Was looking at a Buzz winter jacket a time ago. But how the hell to finalize an order with them? I gave up...
Someone here on the forum made any order with HP? I am curious

I have bought a BR N1 and some Sugarcanes from them without difficulty. Give Charlie a call and he will hook you up. If you don't catch him, leave a message. He is very professional and passionate about his goods.

Just opened an online shop for my alpaca hats :): https://www.etsy.com/listing/213065068/custom-super-chunky-baby-alpaca-hat

Got the BR A4 Watch Cap today. Customs hit me with 19% VAT, but that was expected. Ordered from Japan over Rakuten, with shipping and VAT here in Germany it was still cheaper then ordering from BR Europe. Oh, and it was in stock.

It startet to snow ealier this evening and I took it out for a short walk. My conclution: keeps you warm, looks sharp but fucks up your hair pretty bad.

Anesthetist

My sentiments exactly, but damn it's warm and good looking.

I also got the same A-4 the other day and it sure does mess up your hair!
I find it quite itchy though, not sure if that will get better or not…

I found the itchiness does ease up with some wear..

.. that was with the blue BR version, I'd assume the same applies to the WG.

I wore it all day yesterday and the itchiness did ease up quite a bit on day two.
Steadily becoming one of my favorite caps!

I usually wash my beanies once or twice per year (merino, lambs wool/cashmere), without anything bad ever happening. But they don't share the price tag of the A-4.. Would you wash yours if needed?

Max Power

Handwash, to be safe. I just shrunk natural wool socks of my girlfriend to children's size.

How do you guys feel about Labels on watchcaps? I can't decide where on my head I want to wear them, they always look misplaced in my eyes. So I'd rip them off…or would this be considered blasphemy? Is there anything like a historic look where they should be placed (front of the head, back, doesn't matter)?

Cole

@Max Power

I simply don't like them, because they spoil the look in my eyes. That was the main reason I went for the WG version. That and that it is black of course.

Peter

None of my beanies have labels on them, but I kinda like them and would wear it on the side, ever so slightly to the front.

@Max Power i like it kinda authentic

I put the label off centre at the back, so the seam is central and the label inside the hat sits towards the back also.
