Hats and Beanies

I don't have any personal experience (yet) with either but from what I can tell the William Gibson label is further inside the cap, while the normal Buzz ones have the issue label closer towards the hem.
And I think they only make the black one for the William Gibson line.
But that's about it I think, I could be wrong!

Thanks, I knew about the Label but thought that wouldn't be the only difference. I found a black non Gibson cap, though the store just informed me they won't sell them to me. Will look further then.

Max, have you tried buzz ricksons Europe direct? Also try American classics in London as they did have them not long ago. Also a long shot but could also try peggs and son.

I know about them, but with the weak Yen I would pay the double Price. I already found another retailer, let's see how this works out.

i do remenber few years ago on one forum a member asking Kiya why the William Gibson´s line is more expensive than Buzz Rickson´s one.
Kiya´s answer was very short and precise : "…2 letters my mate...WG! that´s it!"

My cap is in the hands of the fekking customs department. Greedy bastards!

[Max Power]

Based on its value you shouldn't get charged…below 50€, right?

[Cole]

Actually you have to pay at least the 19% VAT for everything over 22,00 €.

I'm hoping that my cap doesn't hit customs..
But I suspect that it will.

@ Max Power
Grabbed the Watch Cap last year from SE.
SE declaired  the cap on custom patch for only 10$. 
Also found the cap here:

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

You have to call them to order…

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.

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.

[Broark]

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…

[ruben]

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