Buzz B-2

I'd really like to have one of these - I would actually prefer to have a black one to my brown one - but never seen one for less than RRP which is way, way too high. If it had been a 38...well, still a bit too pricey for me, but I'd have been hoping for relist at a slightly lower price.

sold my Buzz B2.
Compare to B-3 I like my ELC B3 better than BR B2.
Hard to compare two different jacket types. I can wear my B2 most days in winter, but the B3 is usually too warm

Agreed. The B-3 is for cold weather only. The B-2 is a horsehide jacket with a lining that gives slightly more warmth than a G-1. While its design seems to invite comparison with the B-3, I would guess more apt comparisons would be with the B-6 and D-1, and the B-10 and various B-15's.

my problem with BR B-2 is its wind flap.
I have to zip my jacket otherwise it starts to bother me! :oops:

I think both John and I are with you 100% there. If I could work out a good way to modify it, I would do so, especially since windflaps on original B-1's and B-2's seemed to vary. Any suggestions, John...or anyone?

I'd have a leather/lining flap rather than just lining.
The flap on my BR and Few B-1's is lining only and is slightly strange looking.
