good idea. try a couple outfits and combinations and see if it works. then decide to keep or not

I don't think this will work on you… :-\

It isn't. It's between 3-4 inches too short and too roomy in the gut. Ideally I'd like to trade it for the tailored long version, but I think I'll settle for selling it.

Currently patiently awaiting the arrival of my BR X WG N1 (hook version sold by SE). I could have probably gone with a 42, but they only had a 44 left, and as it's going to be my main winter coat I'm going to need room for layering. Pics as soon as it arrives.

Could it be that Buzz Rickson's sizing is hardly consistent? As far as I can tell, I'd be an L in the M65 WG, an XL in the M-43 and XXL in the N1 WG…. The M65 is probably designed to allow for layering, but still... Maybe it's because they design every model to be as historical exact as possible? Probably every store on rakuten measures differently too. I look at measurements on rakuten and mostly compared shoulder width btw. But I'm no expert on sizing and such and probably won't buy a BR jacket anytime soon. Just wondering.

Great purchase, Megatron! Looking forward to those pics!

Deck jacket arrived, and I'm really really pleased with it. The quality is spot on, and I love the crinkle noise when I move, ha ha..

hopefully you won't hate me as well Gave…

Megatron1505

Nah, I dont hate either of you

It is a little on the large size, but the shitty pic/ angle isn't helping, trust me it aint that bad in the flesh. I bought it a bit big to layer up in deepest winter, with a thick hoody or flannel under it. Basically it's a function over form purchase this time, and at the sale price it worked out too good to miss as a replacement for my overly bulky Alpha N3B.

P.S

Pam is super stoked about the curry, guess what I'll be eating when we get home, ha ha.

I'm pretty sure that it will work perfectly with some layers underneath!..

Hey Megatron are you coming to Gosport next weekend? It would be interesting to compare your Buzz to my BR N-1 (WG collab). They are both tagged 44.

Megatron1505

Thats my thoughts too Seul hopefully, but it's 22 degrees here at the minute so just wearing the jacket on its own was uncomfortable, add a thick hoody and, well….

Megatron1505

Hey Hectic, that I am, but I'm hoping it's gonna be too hot to wear the BR, ha ha. You want me to bring it along to compare anyway?

If you were driving, sure. But don't otherwise, of course.

Buzz Rickson's loopwheeled sweater, size LARGE, OATMEAL, going up for sale later today. PM if interested.

Anyone suggest a washing/cleaning method for an olive BR N1?

mvb

anyone know what is different about the fit of the pre 2011 and current sweaters?

marco

I have both and basically the new ones give a slightly slimmer/longer fit and are a tiny bit thinner/lighter.

If your tall and slim they will fit better - if your shorter and broader the old ones fit nicer.

personally i prefer the new fit.. they also have a slightly smaller neck opening than the old ones which i prefer.

I wouldn't recommend Buzz sweats. You can do better for the $200 price tag.

marco

i'm yet to try the Strike Golds but i prefer the Buzz's (new and old) to the Real Mccoys.. just imo.
