You'd probably be a 36, although I'm not 100% sure.

[ironheartfan123]

thanks guys, i remember trying on a M at SESF back in the day and not being too thrilled with the pre-soak fit (are these raw? for some reason i remember the one i tried on being raw) and passing on it, so maybe a 36/s would indeed be the way to go..idk though..sounds so small..

History Preservation is old school, you need to call them up. Great place to do business with, I recommend them.

^Hell to the yes HP is perhaps my favorite buzz and sugar cane dealer, prices are great and the staff is one of a kind. For reference I am a size 38 in FH button ups and a 40 in T's and wear a Buzz size 141/2 (small). I would go with a medium since these are intended to be on the looser side and mine came raw and I have yet to wash it.

[SLAB]

yes, what Rightyow77 says; i'm also a 38 in FH, I have the Buzz in size small as well; sleeves are already on the short side; best go with a medium

[lance]

I agree, medium it is and I've only seen this shirt in raw although mine did not shrink much at all. I do wash cold water on hand wash cycle and hang dry.

[wayoutwest]

Just called History Preservation about the chambray shirt. They said the sizing has changed and now the large fits like what was previously the medium. Not sure if that had already been made known to everyone. Not sure if I should get the medium, or large. I usually like my shirts slim, and the two shirts I wear the most are 38 chest. Actual chest measurement at 39.

Also, they are getting a re-up in 2.5-3 weeks. Beginning of February.

Interestingly enough, the care label says no machine wash...

Style no. BR24961 - size 40

P2P - 22-22.25" / 56cm

BL (w/o collar stand) - 29" / 73.5cm

In the machine now at 30 Celsius, 400 spin, 1 hour, wool detergent...

Dam right!, Following info would be greatly appreciated..

Size of shirt 38" 40" ?

Pre and post wash pit to pit measurements.

Pre and post wash length of shirt at the back from collar to hem (collar down)

Cold soak?

Washing temp?

Love your foolhardy approach to risk aversion.

[Double 0 Soul]

^Good luck.

[Foxy2]

After wash...

P2P - 21.5" / 54.5cm

BL - 28.5" / 72cm

A little bit shrinkage - I would guess that with ironing some shrinkage can be regained...

I can not live with that kind of shrinkage, (i did expect more though) Im in the same boat as Kiya.

Are you happy with the end results foxy did you want the 1/2"-3/4" of shrinkage?

Any loss in shape or colour loss?

Appreciate you taking the time to post measurements.

[indigoeagle]

Cold hand wash with Woolite shouldn't cause much shrinkage, should it?

[big truck]

Getting quite a bit of wear out of the peacoat of late. No sunlight at all here so apologies for grainy overexposure but I've had this over 3 years now and it's still in excellent shape. Probably should treat it to a dry clean though soon.

I'm ok with the shrinkage, would have bought a size smaller if available when I was in the store...

I drop mine twice a year to my trusted local drycleaner. It comes back litterally as new. The only concern i'd have is the button attachment which tend to tear off. I fix it many times.

^ This starts to happen to the real vintage USN ones too. Have had to repair two in the last month but most things that are this old need a little tlc. I guess Buzz Rickson is authentic in detail even down to the buttons falling off.

I have a BR chambray shirt up for sale here!

[conqueror]

just got my first buzz sweatshirt, and i love it but i'm surprised with the sizing. i'm 6'1/165lb and was expecting to need a XL, but ended up with a M. the M is obviously very cropped and a bit tight across the shoulders with a button up underneath, but the L was way too long on the arms with lots of stacking - it just looked sloppy.

how do i find out if its one of the new or old fits? its super short on the body, but seems pretty slim in the arms.

[indigoeagle]

Does anyone know why there are so few Buzz Rickson leather jackets like the A-2s on offer currently in the Japanese shops. Most are sold out. Looks like it has been like that for quite some time.

Any BR A-2 owners here? Would be great to hear about fits of different models and comparison to other brands like TRM, Aero and Eastman.

You went with the right size, Its the best fit you could have expected from the new fit BR Sweat, If you purchased from a BR retailer then its the new fit, The old fit was pre FW-2011 there is still one Oatmeal old fit BR on the bay in a Med.

[Maynard Friedman]

I've had both the new and old fit BRs and the old fit was short and boxy in the body and tight on the arms, whilst I find the newer fit longer and slimmer with wider sleeves. The best way of confirming is to look at the vee insert on the neck. If it is a true insert (on the inside) it is old style, if it has only been stitched on the front, it's new style.

[Double 0 Soul]

This is true^ did you size down on the new fit mr.f? I only have the old fit which suits my pipe cleaner arms.

Edited March 17, 2013 by Double 0 Soul

[Maynard Friedman]

No, my old BRs were size M but just felt too uncomfortable - too short and too tight on the arms. My new BR is a L and I love the fit.

Edited March 17, 2013 by Maynard Friedman

[Double 0 Soul]

They certainly divide opinion, It all comes down to body shape really and what you are comfortable with. I ordered the new fit without knowing it had changed and it was just not for me. What colour/cond are your old BR,s should you want to off load you know where i am.

[Maynard Friedman]

Sold 'em both on here before you joined up OO, sorry.
