Buzz Rickson B-10 Jacket/ Trade for Tanker

[cbrunt]

Hi Gang,

Have a used but excellent Buzz Rickson B-10, size 44".

Great jacket and really warm but just not my favorite- mostly I don't care for the pockets. I like having hand-warmer pockets.

So, I'd want to trade for a used Tanker jacket. Reputable maker please, size 44". Can post picks if anyone is interested in the trade.

Maybe I'll get lucky and some one is interested [huh] Or off to eBay eventually!!

Thanks, Clint

Can you provide measurements and photos? If you don't have any luck with a trade and want to sell I may be interested.

Nice Tanker (Buzz I think) for sale on VLJ at a good price.

Hi Gang,

Attached are the images. I'll get my cloth tape measure and get measurements a little later. The jacket is in excellent shape. However, I pulled it out of the closet and noticed thebutton for the left front pocket flap was MIA somewhere over Berlin.. Have no idea when or where...:eusa_doh:
(right pocket is simply unbuttoned)

Jacket missing button, I would accept $195 if anyone was interested in outright purchase. But would enjoy more the trade!

I'll take it if the measurements "measure up". Yeah, I know bad joke. I'm normally a 46/48 in the A-2 category but have heard B-10s run a little larger.

Measurements

Ok folks, here are the measurements!

Jacket laid flat and zipped:

Under arm, straigh across 24"
Shoulders seam across, rear 19.5"
Jacket length from collar, front 25.5"
Jacket length from collar, rear 24"
sleeve, from nape of neck 34"

High Iron, its your's if it measures up...!

Thanks Clint. I think it'll work, I have an A-2 that has similar measurements. I'm assuming the back length does not include the knits?

 

[cbrunt]

The length does include the knits... One thing I've read about the original B10 was that being used (in theory) with the matching overalls, the jacket was cut shorter per-size than normal. But even "back then" many complained about the lenght.

So I think Buzz copied that quirk too... If that length is too short and you can't use the jacket, no worries.

now that's a jacket I'd pay an arm and my brothers leg for.
