I for one am curious to see fit pics, hectic. Was looking at that BR jacket myself, but decided it wasn't my style. So beautiful, though.

[hectic]

I PMed Tripleterror some sizing and some random pics of the Buzz Rickon Peacoat, given the encroaching Fall/Autumn I thought I would share pics here too (fit pics when I get a new camera -mine just died):

Any one have the loopwheeled sweatshirts?  Wondering about shrink, after care, ect.

I have the SEXBR in black (dark grey really) XL. From how it fit when I first got it (snug, comfy, warm, delicious) to after I washed it (little shorter, maybe .5 of an inch total length, comfy, warm, delicious) not much has changed. The length shrank a tad .5" and it got tighter around the torso, but that's what happens with everything when you wash it! All and all, I loves me my Buzz Rickson loopwheeled sweatshirt. I was looking into getting a grey one…but then I got heavily into Iron Heart. I would totally recommend the buzz rickson sweatshirt to anyone though. Just know they run a tad small to begin with.

My IH size= XL
Buzz size= XL

Thanks DEP!!  One more question how did you wash it? I mean temp wise and cycle. Thanks again.

[deadendpro]

Washed warm, cold rinse. Just like it was any old sweater.

[Gilbertt]

thanks again!

I just throw my BR loop wheel in the machine at 40 degrees C then the dryer, automatic setting, no major issues apart from a small amount of bobbling, almost unnoticeable. Its actually stretched out from the original size very slightly.

Hhhhhhhmmmmm. Interesting

Got my N1 today, check the really nice (v.heavy duty) Crown zipper:

And some collar detail. I will be paring this with the Hairline Hickory tomorrow so will post fit pics:

Looking forward to those fit pics

Hectic - how is the fit of the N1?

I had looked at that a few weeks ago and pinged an email to Buzz Ricksons for sizing . . . still no answer . . . kinda puts me off not getting a response

By way of of the peacoat on the early posts - it's a good coat but I am fortunate to have a Nigel Cabourn version which I think knocks the crap out of the competition . . . it still pops up on the odd website

That's me for now

I love N-1s but I can't deal with the ARMY / NAVY labeling on them. Looks like an awesome jacket though.

[hectic]

I'll do some pics in the morning. The N1 I got was the William Gibson collab so there is no overt mil labelling, just all black.

Do you know the history of the William Gibson hook up? He featured an MA1 in his novel Pattern Recognition. I am a pure WG fanboi so this is pressing all the right buttons.

[hectic]

N.B.: The N1 fit is TTS really, quite a bulky construction with the wool lining - you def know you are wearing it.

Likewise. AND I just contacted somebody about an MA-1 (shorter version) in my size…I think the Tory is gonna wait another month.  Hopefully, I'm not too late at that point...

cheers

I'm a regular 42 but thinking of going up the size for the lining/material aspects

look forward to the pic

[Beatle]

I wouldn't size up. They actually take the lining and everything into consideration when making the jacket.
