Need help to identify a "vintage" Buzz Rickson's B-15c authenticity

[Drazen]

Hello everyone,
I've come across an offer for a Buzz Rickson B-15c for a very good price. The seller told me it's part of an limited line back during the 90s that would voluntarily give a "vintage" or "worn out" look to the jackets. As I've been unable to find any information relating to this online, I've figured there would be no better place to ask than here (I did inquire Buzz Rickson Europe about it, but haven't received any answer yet).

Having never worn a Buzz Rickson jacket before, I really can't say attest of its authenticity. I'm assuming the "vintage" patine the seller mentioned is related to the jacket's kind of faded color ? Doesn't really look midnight blue to me but it does look in great shape. Still, I would gladly accept any pointers you experts can give me. Thanks.

BR were experimenting in the 90's and tried all kinds of things. I've never heard of BR treating any fabric with a fast acting age-ing agent, but it could have been done. They had an "ultra violet" line of MA-1's they did in the early 2000's that were pre-treated with a "time worn" type weathered finish. The zippers are correct on your jacket. I'd say for around $100 you'd have a deal.
