      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

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

              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.

                        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.

                            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.

                              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...

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

                                  look forward to the pic

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

                                          Here are few pics of the N1, apologies for the woeful quality but I had to revert to my old Android and I have still to buy a new camera:

                                          This is the only visible labelling:

                                          This is a 44 and I am 6'4" and approx 17 stone (106 kilos):

                                          Zipped up:

                                          Hem drawstring detail:

                                          Inside armpit reinforcement:

                                          Reverse of collar detail:
