Denim Pea Coat
The MFSC coat lapels / flaps can be buttoned back on themselves for a more open look.
Buzz Ricksons Military Jackets 2008
The new seasons Buzz Ricksons jackets aren’t on the Buzz Ricksons site, but they are on the Hinoy Rakuten site. Here are a couple of interesting items: Lacquered A-2. Most A-2 are aniline dyed, so a lacquer jacket should be more glossy and not fade. William Gibson black A-1 and black cardigan (which can be [...]
Denim Pea Coat
Here’s a sneak peak of the coat while it was drying after a long soak. I’m still not certain if I got the correct size, but this photo looks alright.
Buzz Ricksons L-2B
BR: “In April of 1956, the F-102 Delta Dagger fighter aircrafts 327 FIS were stationed at George AFB in California and were the backbone of the air defense. The first recorded dispatch was when they moved to Thule AB, Greenland in July of ’58 and were active until ’60. Note the patch to be 327th [...]
Real McCoys Baseball Award Jacket
I got this Real McCoys jacket in Sapporo. It’s all wool, no leather arms. Here is a link to some better pics on the Real McCoys web site: http://www.realmccoys.co.jp/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=282&osCsid=13934529534a32bbd66af9d88e7c0950
Buzz Rickson A-2 (6 months)
It’s almost summer, so I won’t be wearing the buzz jacket for much longer until next April. Thought I’d take some pics to document the changes. Here are a stack of pics. I’ve worn the jacket about 4 days per week. I must say that the jacket is more awesome that I thought it would [...]
Warehouse 3001XX update
The Warehouse Jacket/Jumper has some signs of fading. After these pics I gave it a wash. It’s easier to wear dirty jeans than a dirty shirt.
Buzz A-2 Fit
I had a few requests to see the fit of my A-2. Here are some decapitated shots. I’m also wearing the Kapital jeans in these pics. No, that isn’t my backyard. In the pics, the sleeves may appear slightly long. I do feel that the jacket is the correct size, and I have read that [...]
Buzz Ricksons Roughwear A-2 (BR80090)
Back from holiday. I got this A-2 from Hinoya Osaka. The staff provided excellent service, and had the jacket shipped from Ueno whilst they kept another jacket on hold so that I could compare the two. They also had the shoulder stencil added before I had decided, and they gave it to me at a [...]
Polo Chambray (12 years)
I’ve had this shirt for 12 years, but obviously haven’t worn it consistently over the 12 years. Chambray goes drammatically darker when wet, so I didn’t wear the shirt in summer months to avoid dark sweaty patches. As much as I like the shirt – it has reached the end of its life, and it’s [...]
