Hey folks,
Is there a place in the US to get a Buzz Rickson Catalog? I have been trying to order one, but I can't get the order form on there website to translate.... it comes up as all question marks, any idea's?

Also would like to have a Real McCoy's catalog, I remember having one a long time ago that had real life samples of the materials attached to one of the pages or the back cover.... something like that!

The Real McCoys "Fun Books" as they are called are on ebay right now. I just purchased the latest copy. I saw last years on there not too long ago and may be still available. I too got a BR catalog from HPA.

Would you happen to have the link to eBay where they are located, I would greatly appreciate it!

I have all those other links, the problem is when you pull up the order form to request a catalog it is not in plain english.... just a bunch of question marks!

Just visited HPA's site...$95 isn't a bad price for the Rangoon shirt (I got mine off eBay for $60), but the Navy chambray isn't any cheaper!

The Rangoon, BTW, is very nicely put together and a somewhat heavier weight gabardine than you might think - a good weight to wear under your flight jacket on blustery days. Not suitable as a shirt-jacket, tho - the long tailed hourglass cut demands you tuck it in.

What's the deal with only E width on the 1/4 shoes? Is it closer to a modern D, or are they counting on their average customer having fat feet? Either way, they got their nerve charging nearly $400 for a shoe only available in one width.

Had the same thing happen to me on the BR website and others even using the translator. On ebay just use the search term "flight jacket" I know you would come up with a couple. You can also use the search term "real mccoys" and that would pull up some entries as well. I would contact HPA for the Buzz catalog. I am sure they have some left.
