C-2 Sweater

[Stony]

I have been looking for a C-2 sweater, but originals are extremely rare.

Buzz Rickson makes one, but they are out of stock as is Eastman Leather who carrier Buzz Rickson.

Real McCoys carries them, but they are $535 at today's exchange rate.

Between Buzz and R.M., which one makes the better product. I see that R.M. is not using the correct zipper, but I don't know about Buzz.

I'v been after a C2 for a while too, i even check buzzrickson.com from time to time to see if they are back in stock.. they are also out of stock (and have been for ages) in Japan.

Seems the only option is the RM version which does look very nice, though i'm not sure which is the more accurate. RM generally have the edge over Buzz where quality is concerned.

They have the RM C2 in stock at a couple of stores outside Japan - superdenim.co.uk have the navy one and blueingreen.com have them in green and navy... all are too expensive for me unfortunately

They had a badged Buzz C2 at peggsandson.com in the UK.. still £375 though.

Ralph lauren have done a superb one. Not sure what you would need to search on

Agreed. Member ClarkJ here has one. Maybe he can take a couple photos of it.

What size are you guys? I have a Buzz Rickson 38 C-2 Sweater just hanging in my closet. It's new, never worn out anywhere. Funny because I was just considering selling it the other day. $325 and its yours, if anyone wants it.

Gary said that Eastman is probably going to stock the C-2 again next year.

Not to kill a sale but the covered zip is rare on repros - even on the Buzz.

I don't know if this is your size but did you see this from the Buy/Sell section?

I was PM'd about this C-2, but I'm thinking it's too small for me. The chest measurement looks ok, but the size 38 scares me as the seller said it fits like a 38.

Here's my original- labelled as a 44 but over the years and through the hands of various owners has been washed and reduced in size to fit a cat! Or about a snug 40 chest.

The zip has also been replaced at some point in its life. Still, if you collect USAAF, you gotta have an example!

Nice one! They are tough to find. Too bad it shrunk, but still a great example.
