Buzz Rickson

[JCMx800]

@Snowy:

So is it common knowledge as to what Buzz Rickson was named from/after? Let me know if not, and I'll spill the very enjoyable beans!

The brand name is taken from the character played by Steve McQueen in the 1961 movie 'The War Lover'.

Spot on! Now has that been posted everywhere on the internet and I've not read it for the last 10 years, or is it a little more obscure?

(PS am watching the movie now, which reminded me to comment on it - pretty interesting movie. Some great jackets!!!)

[JCMx800]

I knew it was from a movie with Steve McQueen, I checked www.buzzricksons.com and voilà

Now I do wonder if you're unique or if it was common knowledge.

(PS I suggest you all watch the movie if you haven't)

As JCM said, their website has shorts. Also has list of stockists.

Other stockists in Uk off the top of my head, all of which have websites (not sure if they stock shorts though):
Stylecreep
Peggs and Son
American Classics
Son of a Stag
Liquor Store (maybe?)

I can recommend 'Peggs & son' … good experiences with them

Thanks guys, but i have no luck. I´ve checked out the BR-UK-Store, before i asked here, but there´s only one available short (J´s tropical).
The other shops are fine and i´ve made some good experience with some of them, but no one of these has got a BR short

I´m looking for a (tiger) camo cargo short in blue or olive/gold.

You wont find the tiger camo in gold anywhere. They have the blue on. rakuten.

I have hunted high and low for the gold tiger camo ones for an absolute age. No luck. Even contacted BR directly, they couldnt get hold of any from Japan. The only other solution i can think of is to buy the tiger cargo trousers and get them chopped, i was going to do this but i waited too long and they sold out in xl on the Br website. They still have small and medium though plus Peggs & Son have large.

In the alternative, have you tried TSPTR? The chap who does that does Eastman Leather in the Uk, is behind the distribution for Br and also fronted Heritage Research. I checked out one of their Tiger Camo shirts. Wasnt the sane quality as my BR one but was decent for the money.

Thank you very much @Cutlasshound, this helps me out and you preserve me for an endless search for a gold tiger camo

[goodrain]

aren't the real mccoys tiger camo shorts very similar?

[Cutlasshound]

Probably but the current seasons offering is some dodgy beige tiger camo rather than gold (which is actually olive with gold accents). The BR stuff is also much cheaper as a general rule!
