What jacket(s) are you wearing at the moment?

[B-Man2]

Buzz Rickson N-1 Khaki, size XXL. Arrived today...comfy jacket, very warm. Fit seems good to me?

Still torn over whether I should keep it. I'm still grappling with my desire for a B-3...do I return this? Do I keep it? This truly is a #FirstWorldProblem.

Jacket is a great fit on you. I know that doesn’t help the decision but it does look good.
Is owning both jackets an option? If so why not go for it

Or: sell the Buzz, buy a Bronson, use the rest to buy a B-3

My friend asked me to learn about this jacket. Leather horse.Can anyone say who sewed a jacket?

Maybe Real McCoys Japan? I know they love extremely pronounced pointy pocket flaps and red lining

Thanks for the answer. My friend wrote yesterday in Aero, they replied that this jacket was made by Aero in 1990.

My experience is that when you find a jacket that fits as good as that and assuming you like the type, then you keep it and move on. Sending it back and getting another that might not fit as good leads to regret. Just my tuppence worth. Cheers

Thanks all. Decided to keep it - it’s really a cracking practical jacket, which the B-3 isn’t when you’re honest with yourself! Can’t beat Buzz quality either, this thing is built like a tank. Already breaking in nicely - was rather stiff at first.

There will be a B-3 in my future though - mark my words!

Hi Shawn looking forward to you making an A2 in steer hide or horse hide .It would be nice to see your house version with correct lining in cotton and a correct label .This is the jacket that would interest me . Also did you manage to procure an original A2 to copy and study ? .

I have pointed Shawn towards an original STAR Sportswear on EBAY ... the jacket is beyond repair and could be de-constructed without any guilty feelings...

Another great looking jacket and the Dubow is one of my favorite patterns. Nice fit as well.
But let’s talk about that elevator for a second. That’s becoming one of the most well known sites on the forum. Maybe it’s time for a hand painted commentive plaque to be hung for your next photo shoot. Something like
“Ties In Da House”

I have to say that all of your jackets look great but man...... your home and the areas you take your pictures from are beautiful.

Burt,

whenever you are in town, you can find me here:

Fifth floor, behind five of the windows right in the middle... Coffee is on me!

It’s the size of a small city!
Maybe the plaque should say
“Ties and 102,589 others
In da house”

Plain Jane ELC House A-2 bought years ago and worn the shit out of. A good solid repro A-2 I don't think twice about wearing.
