    Eastman Irvin RAF sheepskin repro sizing

    You are most welcome! The RAF Devon Fleece is quite nice, but due both to the thickness of the fleece and the TimeWear treatment, you will positively go up no less than one size in this style. Also, to be honest, the current batch of sheepskin, though fabulous and rare indeed, is not as...

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    Yes, that can be an issue for the well-watered among us, but I recall we managed to get you in the zone with a Buzz Rickson's mock-twist chambray, and there are some Sugar Cane shirts that are indeed longer. Of course, depending on your needs and taste in fabrics, styles and colors, it may be...

    Eastman Irvin RAF sheepskin repro sizing

    You ask a very subjective question. If you wish to wear a suit/sport coat under one, then you should likely go up one size, and some would want to go up two sizes, as our experience selling this style has proven over the last 26 years. But if you prefer a fit that is not with this intention...

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    As I stated, the rate is for every zip code in the lower 48, so that includes those w/ a delivery-area surcharge, and it includes up to $400 in insurance. And the ever-changing fuel surcharge. And since you have no idea what size box we're shipping in to derive the rate, you would have no clue...

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    I'm sorry about that. We had some Buzz Rickson's shirts a few years ago made up that could have fit you but they were just too slow to sell. Maybe we'll try some Sugar Cane in that measure next season, though. Food for thought ...

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    I should add that with combined shipping, 3 shirts in the same box ship for that same rate listed on each shirt page, but if, say, a Buzz Rickson's hoodie is added to a three-shirt order, the next box size would be needed and that would up the shipping cost due to the box dimensions, though the...

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    Thank you. All measures are listed under the PRODUCT MEASUREMENTS tab on each product page. The largest of the shirts has a pit-to-pit measure of 25", which for our customers will fit either a 46" or 48" chest measure depending if they prefer 4" or 2" of ease.

    It's flat-rate UPS Ground insured to any zip code in the lower 48. UPS & Fed Ex began charging volumetric rates at the beginning of the year, so Ground now bills in the same manner as Air and as USPS Priority to about half the USA zip codes. We eschew shipping via USPS for a myriad of reasons...

    The classic flannel-shirts, I am amazed!

    We have twelve new all-cotton, flannel-twill shirts this fall from Sugar Cane in various weights and patterns and colors, plus two awesome indigo-dyed corduroys. The Warmth Series from the Fiction & Romance Collection is absolutely amazing, and even among the standard offerings we can fit a 44"...

    I couldn't agree more. But to each their own, and we all have our passions and dispassions that others cannot quite get.

    A-2 Jacket

    If you must have goatskin, then Eastman is not an option, as they ceased making goatskin A-2's this year; however, if you're considering horsehide, we have size 48R in stock in just about every jacket Eastman offers, including sheepskin jackets. It would probably be good to set your criteria to...

    USN M421-A

    While on this topic, what do you gents think of the successor to the M-421A, the AN6551? The back design is the same as the M-421A, but it has pencil slots in the left sleeve and, obviously, more pockets. These are more scarce than the M-421A in collecting circles. Buzz Rickson's made one...

    New Buzz Rickson Roughwear AC-27752

    Nothing like jumping in with both feet just to castigate! I was pleasantly ignorant of this post until brought to my attention by Blackadder in post #49 here: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?83206-Layering-OVER-a-leather/page5 And I'll also post a screenshot, but I think...

    Layering OVER a leather?

    I believe these are some special editions that were done, which I failed to mention but certainly should have mentioned. We didn't handle any of these, thus the specifics are not in my memory, but I can attempt to find out more about these. I'll make an inquiry to see what can be found out...

    Layering OVER a leather?

    The labels shouldn't include the Buzz Rickson's name because the brands are fully separate and have nothing to do with each other. United Carr products are not Buzz Rickson's products. UC items are made in China and lack much of the hyper-authentic detailing, hardware, and fabrics of a...

    Layering OVER a leather?

    No problemo, Blakadder. I thought you had mentioned a Chinese connection to Buzz Rickson's in the past, so if you did not, please accept my sincere apologies. There is definitely misinformation and bad rumors floating around about Buzz Rickson's point of manufacture and Eastman making jackets...

    New Buzz Rickson Roughwear AC-27752

    Egads, there is a lot of misinformation and bad rumors out there. Buzz Rickson's-branded jackets of ANY kind are not made in China. PERIOD!!!! Toyo Enterprises Co., Ltd., the owner of the BR brand, owns a cheaper military brand called United Carr, and these UC-made items are produced in...

    Layering OVER a leather?

    Technically, Blackadder, it's Toyo Enterprises Co., Ltd. that has the cheaper brand made in China that you noted. Buzz Rickson's is a brand owned by Toyo but there are absolutely no Buzz Rickson's-branded jackets made in China. I wanted to be perfectly clear on this, as I think I've seen you...

    Eastman A-2 sizing?

    Though the M-65 and A-2 are very different, I'm thinking the 42 might be the ticket for you. Of course, the WarHorse horsehide must be accounted for, as well as the sort of fit you want and what you wish to wear under the A-2. Pricing is addressed in my other reply to you, for which there...
