A friend.

nice pick up, was eyeing this one, would love to see a fit flick when you get a second…

[hectic]

Its pretty cool, Lando. I would be interested to hear about the sizing/cut.

(I had a really annoying phase with Buzz Rickson shirts - I tried like 3 sizes/cuts and they were all whack - Goldilocks scenario)

Thanks boys. Yeah I will throw up some fit flicks for you whenever it comes through. I am interested to see how it fits as well considering it is a size smaller than I would normally take. I am looking for a snug fit on this one though, not trying to be period correct. Doesn't make much sense but we'll see.  ???

I've always been a fan of surplus navy clothes. The Buzz USN chambray was a must. It'll do until Iron Heart does a IH-XHS Blue Chambray WrkShrt.



It's got this awesome waxy feel.. It looks like it was made in a rush. I imagine the originals looked similar.

[jacoavlu]

is that faux chainstitch runoff?

[Beatle]

I believe it is , think br chambray is double stitched not chain stitched

[Jsticklee]

My Self Edge shirt is a faux runoff.. This Buzz shirt is a 'real' simple runoff.. It's just thin and a bit ratty..

Bought that same hat for my old man last winter, it's all he wears. He is bald, so he needs it too. Those and his Buzz A-10 flying gloves are his go to gear.

[scroogen]

pics of said gloves would be awesome!

the us buzz distributor needs to really update his site and start taking internet orders not just phone and mail, who does that these days?

[Chponglasia]

^YES!

[scroogen]

I've dealt with HPA two times before. It isn't all that bad having to call.  In fact if I had placed an Internet order I would have ended up returning for the next size up.  I like the phone order. Keeps the riff raff out and is probably helping to keep their prices down. My buzz sweats were a full 70 dollars less before shipping (both shipped for 15) than they were on SE website at the time.

i just got the cpo shirt.  i had to size up from my usual 38 regular.

its a corker of a piece.

[hassinator]

also got the buzz rickson hook deck jacket on order in 38.

does anyone know if these come up snug or roomy?

i've got the paratrooper smock and m-65 as 38s and they're both a good fit.

the cpo shirt i had to size up from a 38 it was a bit too san frandisco in that size.

watch cap showed up today, the box they shipped it in was comically big
but man is it ever a nice fucking hat
and included a nice enviro sac, reusable shopping bag with history preservation associates logo on the side
also check the pricing on this hat direct from them, seen it go 30 bucks higher used on ebay then what they sell it for on there web site
