Buzz Pea Coat
My wife & daughter got me the Buzz Rickson’s Pea Coat for my birthday. I’m very happy with the coat, but Melbourne weather will be too warm to wear this until April.
USN Denim Jacket
Recently got this USN Denim Jacket from Real McCoys. 10 oz denim. https://www.realmccoys.co.jp/catalog/products/detail.php?product_id=2269&pg=3 It was no-wash, and shrank a lot. You can see a lot of shrinkage in the chain-stitching across the top of the pocket in the below pic. Even after the wash the sleeves were very long… so I decided to do a [...]
Hawaiian Shirts
I was never into Hawaiian Shirts. I thought that they were too flamboyant. I must be getting old, cause I kinda like em now. I’ve been wearing a few over the past couple of summers… and in the Southern Hemisphere it’s getting into Summer again, so I thought I’d take some pics. Here are some [...]
Flathead Stadium Jacket – STJ53-BKWH – Knockout BB
Flathead made this amazing stadium jacket some time ago. I’m not actually sure when they made it, but it’s definitely sold out now. Klax-on: http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/amekajishop-klax-on/stj53-bkwh.html Black version on 2nd: http://item.rakuten.co.jp/2nd/fh-stj-53-bkxbk/ Melton wool with vegetable tanned horse leather arms. The script kind of doesn’t make sense, but it actually adds to the character of the jacket. [...]
How to Wear a Red MA-1
Buzz Ricksons have an amazing Red MA-1. http://www.buzzricksons.jp/product/us_air_force-0019.html It looks amazing, and it looks very loud. I thought it looks too loud to wear in public. Hinoya have some fit pics which didn’t change my opinion. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/br11540/ But now that I’ve seen some pictures scanned from the Beams catalog on ACL. http://www.acontinuouslean.com/2009/09/22/the-beams-autumn-winter-2009-10-mens-catalog/ These pics make the jacket [...]

Buzz Ricksons Brown Tank Jacket BR11545
http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/br11545/ I got this jacket from Hinoya in Ueno. Most tank jackets with slash pockets are a khaki colour. eg. http://item.rakuten.co.jp/hinoya/br10994_01/ Buzz Ricksons found an original vintage brown leaf colour Tank Jacket with a crown chevron zipper, and they produced a replication of this as the BR11096. (around 2007?) http://store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/amekajishop-klax-on/br11096.html This year they have a [...]
Marine Uniform – Black Sailor's Top
This black sailor’s top is from United Arrows in Shinjuku. It’s a wool/polly mix. A fashionable re-think on the traditional sailor’s uniform.
Ralph Lauren Dungaree Workshirt
This Dungaree workshirt has triple stitched structural seams. I haven’t actually owned a “dungaree” shirt before. Here’s a definition of the term from Wikipedia: Etymology of “dungaree” The term “dungaree” was associated with a coarse undyed calico fabric that was produced and sold in a region near Dongari Killa (also called Fort George) in Bombay [...]
