Buzz Rickson's B-15 Colvinex, size 38 for sale (rare)

For sale, my Buzz Rickson’s B-15 Colvinex size 38. Product no. BR12526

Originally bought new on import from a dealer in Australia. The jacket is in near mint condition having been worn only 5 times.

There are no rips, tears, stains etc. Mouton collar, alpaca/wool pile lining, press studs and Talon zipper are perfect.

Only signs of wear are light creasing (nothing permanent), and some superficial scratches to the leather on the neck strap (buckle side) - please see photos. Waistband has started to bobble slightly on the inside (happens quickly with this jacket because of the natural wool knits and pile lining).

For those of you not familiar with this jacket, the shell is made out of a cotton gross grain (“Jungle Cloth”) and is similar to that of an N1 as opposed to the nylon commonly used for B-15’s. Very warm.

Comes with original tags including the “Instruction Case” (albeit in Japanese) and Acme Thunderer whistle.

Buzz Rickson’s no longer make this style and haven’t done for several years. As such it’s quite rare.

Only reason for sale is this is too small for me and I now own a size 40.

A Buzz Rickson’s size 38 (M) caters for a 36-38” measurement. I’m 5’8” (172cm), stocky build with a broad chest. In most garments I normally wear a 38 (occasionally a 40) and they tend to be a little tight but this B-15 has always been particularly snug around the chest. With this in mind, I’d only recommend sale to someone with a slender build or closer to a size 36. I'd also recommend trying on a Buzz Rickson's garment of similar size/style if possible. It goes without saying the jacket is cut to sit at your waist.

Measurements as follows:

pit to pit: 21” (53.5cm)
shoulder seam to end of cuff: 25.5” (65cm)
shoulder seam to shoulder seam: 18” (46cm)
waist (knit): 17” (43cm)
top of collar to bottom of waist (knit): 27.5” (70cm)

I’d like 480GBP including postage.
Paypal would be the preferred method of payment.
No returns accepted so please be sure before you buy.
I’m in the UK therefore no tax/duty to pay within Europe.

Thanks!

Kyle

Hi Art, thanks for your interest. Yeah I love the rust knits too. The jacket's still available - I'm in North East London, near Finsbury Park. From the information you've provided my guess would be it's a little small, but you're welcome to have a look and try it on.
