Buzz Rickson Khaki Review

[jonglover]

Great buy. Those pants look great.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of worldwide stockists? I know there's History Preservation, I'm just interested in the kind of shops that stock this. I'm thinking about getting my dad a pilots jacket for Christmas.

familyman-

I also recently purchased a pair of WW2 style khakis made by RRL that I now wear to the office 2-3 days out of 5. I sized down one for a little bit of a trimmer fit and I have to say the style holds up surprisingly well in this day and age.

My RRL are not nearly as hardy as those Rickson's look. According to the stamp on my pockets, mine are a feather weight 9 oz cotton and come prewashed (and super soft).

The plus is that they're so light I never have to iron these because the wrinkles work themselves out on my way to work. The bad news is they're getting all of these weird bleach spots and I feel like they won't last me for more than, say, 2 or 3 years.

Which why I just bought another pair off eBay .

Oh yeah, did I mention I got them dirt-ass cheap? I paid $30 for my first pair and $8 for the second(!)

familyman, it takes some real panache to carry those off well! your hair bun goes nicely with the blazer and the high-rise khakis.

is that the same as the levi's khaki's they produced? i have a pair of the levi's and they look like a similar cut
