Buzz Rickson online catelogue 2004/5

Heads up chaps!

Just thought some of you might be interested in the BUZZ RICKSON catelogue that's online. Some lovely pieces of repro wear. I have a B-10 and a B-15b of theirs, and they are the finest repros you have seen (but you pay for it too!).

So, just for your interest...

(hope that loads up now!)

ENJOY..!

Looks pretty cool. (Did you install the Japanese language pack "in order to display characters properly"? I didn't, and some of the formatting is off. I can't see any prices.)

Have you ordered from them? Are they located in Japan?

Thanks Paddy, and congrats on the promotion!

Hi David, re: Buzz Rickson...

The Jap language packs never worked for me sadly, so although I have nice pics to look at, that's about it. No idea on the pricing or what the squiggles actually mean!

But I know that HPA (the US branch of EASTMAN LEATHER CLOTHING) sell some BR, but not the whole range. I have a B10 with the fur collar which I am wearing now with the colder weather and also a nylon 1945 B15-b, and they both rock big time! Very much a stitch-for-stitch repro (and you 'pay' handsomely for that quality!).

Thanks for that David re: the promotion. Just means I get to wear more scrambled egg on my cap now! (like General MacArthur).
