Buzz Rickson Werber B-2

[ausreenactor]

Don't think I have posted many pics of my old Werber B-2. Butter soft and as new. Love the colour on this jacket. Rarer, Werber labelled version.

Gorgeous jacket, Couchy, looks warm and toasty. It is alpaca-lined?

Doesn't itch so I will say no. Just warm, warmly warmyness....

That hide look sweet!

Beautifully well broken in jacket,,I thought it was unworn ? I would be delighted if I can get mine looking half as good .

Another impressive specimen from Couchy's mint unissued jackets stash!

Don't mind me, I'm just sitting at my computer, drooling with envy.

Superb!

Different hides back then. Every element of the jacket is soft. Like the DD Bronco. Can not believe how different they are today. Same could be said for ELC Air Comforts. Mine is nothing like today's version.

I have the option of putting each and every one of them on until my dying day...

Real McCoy Stagg B-10 today!!

I would change only one thing on my b2,,the neck closure,I would have the double straps ,,the horsehide is great,,although the horsehide on my air comfort is the best on any jacket I’ve ever seen,,period.

The double strap version is the one to have, better by miles infact.

Only missing the pocket pleat for perfection

Wow , that’s a fantastic jacket

 

[ausreenactor]

Hell no.. Bland pocket and Buzz Rickson label...

What good are two buckles you don't use?

I agree. Pretty much the key, and most striking, feature on the front of the BR B-2 jacket.

 

[s4rmark]

Another superb Buzz.

Not much use in Oz but when it's cold here in the north its the best method to fasten a collar to keen the ears warm. Same set up as the B3....I rest my case !
The house B2 is actually a copy of the Switlik jacket so is quite special. These were made over 15 years ago.

Never seen an original with a pocket pleat. Pics are rare I know.
