I have finally found my ideal sweatshirt. These two are from Buzz Rickson and for less than a buck fifty, I think they present an excellent value. The quality on these is great, with the grey feeling slightly heavier (maybe fluffier?) and a bit looser, although I just received the black today. It was surprisingly tough to find a sweat that had a tighter neckline and didn't extend too far past my waist. While a lot of places say to size up, I would stick to your usual size in these as they do loosen with wear. This is a 38-40 and I have a 40-41" chest.

those look great man

Hey does anyone know where it would be possible to source those bar stud things that are on the J-24's epaulets?

Here's a rather academic meditation on the new Buco J-24 (and Japanese repro in general), referred to me by @peachfuzzmcgee, who was in turn referred to it by @StrangeJeremy.

A Note on Tradition and Transmission & Review of The Real McCoy's "Updated Fit"

The Real McCoy’s just released a resized version of the classic Buco J-24 (Stock No. BJ21101). This classic D-pocket or Double Rider jacket...

This is repro enough, right?

Nice denim jacket. Is it too small though?

Buzz Rickson sweatshirts stay undefeated!

Nah it looks good in the sleeves and shoulders, and Type 2 are made to be worn short. I think he's wondering if it's big enough for you to close.

Ah, my type 3's are a little longer and this is my one and only type 2 so that's why I was confused.

Yeah, it's a solid fit and fairly easy to button up

I think it's perfect.

Thanks, I'm happy I took a chance with it too. Didn't have any indigo denim jackets but didn't want to get yet another type 3 so picked this up. Already got a random compliment when I wore it for the first time last weekend and now got additional internet validation so I'm a happy camper ???
