Sold out.. Try a size 7.5.

Coat is stunning. If only not so expensive... alas!

[Scaught]

Those flannels are amazing, love the color on the blue one.

I'll definitely be purchasing.

[Turntabloid]

in terms of the fit of the heavy weight flannel, here is a pic (courtesy of giles from ironheart.co.uk) which might help you guys - especially because the western flannel runs so small compared to everything else from IH.

comparison of western (on top) vs heavy (bottom) flannel, both in XL

seems that the heavy weight flannel is back to regular sizing!

Those coats are fantastic, and are a bargain compared to any warmth providing garment being made today. That thing will last longer than anyone here.

Well...that may be true, but I was able to snag an original from the mid 60's (8 button instead of 10, but despite Buzz Rickson's marketing, the wool is the same as these pre-war coats) off eBay for $70. I do agree, yes, these coats are fantastic. I just don't think paying $675 is necessary to get one.

But - maybe I misunderstand your assertion. Can you explain why you think it's a bargain?

I just got my size 8.5 pair of athletic shoes today, and they're a bit too small. My toe barely hits the end of the shoe. If I exchange them for a 9, will they be big enough?

Seconded, and it's completely false to say that that jacket is warmer than anything being produced today.

[YoungPunch]

The Buzz Coat does look nice, but I picked up a vintage WWII-era USN peacoat for $100.

For a brand new coat I agree the buzz rickson is the way to go, and the price reflects the fact its not some cheap fashion/ mall branded light-weight wool POS.

[sidneylo]

I think the discussion of vintage vs. repro is a slippery slope. While I agree there are merits to both sides, I think it's safe to say that this might be a thread derailer if we continue to argue about which is better.

(I really mean it, since I just came back from the Rose Bowl and bought myself some worn down vintage stuff. I'm still gonna get that foul weather jacket from MF…)

[YoungPunch]

^I'm not trying to imply the vintage is better than the repro, but I agree that discussion does not belong in the self edge thread.

When's the mister freedom denim deck jacket with the hooks on the placket gonna be for sale? I can't wait to get one is size small!

[Wesley Pipes]

Already got it.

Hey Kiya, I was wondering how long does it takes to hem jeans. I recently brought in my Flatheads , and its been 5 days. I haven't received a call yet. Thanks.

We're quite backed up at the moment, normally takes between 3 and 5 days, so you should expect a call very soon.

You didn't misunderstand as much as neglect to read this part:

"and are a bargain compared to any warmth providing garment being made today."

Buzz Rickson Navy Pea Coat - USN 1910's Model

Buzz Rickson has gone to great lengths to reproduce the perfect classic pea-coat...

The US Navy’s original pea-coat was fabricated from heavy, 32-ounce melton wool and, up until the late 1930’s, featured black bakelite buttons displaying an anchor surrounded by 13 stars; the 13 stars were derived from the original 13 states when the United States became an independent nation and broke its ties to England in 1776. The large-sized collar of the coat was designed to block strong ocean winds and the corduroy-lined side pockets helped thwart the numbing effect on hands from the biting winter seas. By the 1940’s, officer’s coats were redesisgned and the heavy melton wool was relegated only for the enlisted ranks’ pea coats and the 13-star buttons were changed to the fouled-anchor design still employed to this day.

Buzz Rickson takes it back to their favorite era of the pea coat, the 1910 style with all the classic stylings found on the original.

These pea coats are now available in-store and in our online store, reorders on Buzz Rickson products are not possible, therefore once gone, there will be no restocks:
