Latest Buzz Rickson's B-2 Jacket

[John Lever]

The Feb 'sale' pics look even better. More excited now.

I never spied the NWT in the listing until I just went back. I never actually noticed that panel before. I usually just pop in at the size and then read the item description. I would highly doubt that a 2008 BR would be NWT unless it was one of mine...

It looks like a great jacket but that is not my point. The seller blatantly said several times in messages new, no wear. We just have to be cautious. I prefer used jackets they have more character.

B-2 arrived this afternoon. DHL for the first time in my eBay experience. Aside from the three 'defects' in the pics it is pretty much brand new. Two of the 'defects' quickly disappeared with some light polish and Dubbin. I would never have expected the jacket to be as supple as this. My B-3 and Irvin experience let me to think that it was going to a semi-rigid jacket standing up in the corner of the 'war'-drobe. Without a doubt the best dollar for dollar Buzz Rickson jacket I have ever had. :!:

I might ask him for a GBP 25 refund because the tags are not there..Woops... in the pocket. D'oh ! Would have been wrapped to get it for even less...

They are certainly are very easy wearing.

Agreed. I'm still wearing mine in this very cold Spring. It's comfortable to wear and can handle -3C in the morning and surprisingly isn't too bad at 10C in the afternoon.

Enjoy Couchy!

Sold out until this Autumn. From the close up photos the leather looks great so does the zip. The price is not so good though at about
$1850. The pocket looks slightly higher and lacks the naff pleat. The Few version has the blanket liner and is heavier and stiffer than the moquette line jackets, and the wool can be slightly irritating when worn with only a thin shirt beneath. So the might be important considerations.
For anyone interested, Juno at Bid Service and Hinoya can supply these jackets. Size 44 is a special order.

The ultimate in 1920s style and the only jacket that make me want to wear a fedora.

I suppose the ultimate repro would have signs of the pocket removal !
I asked RMNZ to make me a B1 but was told that 'The girls don't like making them at the factory, ' so it's no longer available. In a recession it seems odd that business would be turned away so casually. With the BR B2 from ELC that's two no goes in a week on asking to order jackets...

I was bouncing around the net today. Firstly for a Fedora and then for a standard magazine plug and barrel band for my 1897 Winchester Trench Gun...
