50th Birthday Present - Buzz Rickson Aero 42-18775-P

[ausreenactor]

Gents..

Was watching this one for a while in Japan and I was quite keen on a buy. Nobody wanted the BR Rough Wear 18091 I threw up for sale so I hesitated. It went unsold; however, I figured I would just grab it at one stage during the series of relists... until it didn't get relisted. For a month I checked the seller's account and nothing. Saved a worm on the pavers out back and karma sorted me. Relisted last night.... Even wrangled a $100 discount because it had been up so many times without a sale!!

Size 40 and virtually unworn. The only BR 18775 I have found without a decal too...

Hide looks like a super BR horsehide. Their hides have never let me down.. Need it to get here on time..
Or I need to buy myself something else..

 

[Silver Surfer]

nice catch. out of curiosity, how does the buzz measure up on a size 40?

 

[B-Man2]

Sweet looking hide on that one.

 

[Brettafett]

Yup, we can't wait for fit pics, measurements and in-hand review!!

 

[Pilot]

BR and TRMcC’s ( with GW) the best HH IMHO.... and no decal for a BR.. great find!
Congrats!
BTW Happy Birthday Sarge!

Happy Birthday! Welcome to the club.You'll not believe, but after this date everything is the same and there is life after 50

 

[ausreenactor]

Congrats! But aren't you a 42 in Buzzes?

Certainly was... Hockey against the USAF and lots of Kandahar cardio started me on a path.. 10.3 Beep Tests, 250 Sit Ups, 500 Squats and 3:00 prone holds are the standard these days.

 

[ausreenactor]

Birthday is still a couple of weeks away. Thanks for the best wishes!!

HBD @ausreenactor! I'm close to leaving the 50's club now. Can't even imagine that, but congrats on a nice by for the decade!

Nice one Couchy, that looks to be an absolute ripper.

And happy birthday you old bugger!

Happy Bday! That's a beautiful jacket there, I love the collar shape. Now it's time for some fit pics!

 

[saucerfiend]

Happy Birthday, Couchy! 50 is a wonderful age. Wish I was 50 again.
BTW, great jacket! And yes, I can't wait for a few fit pics myself.
