Re: Attention !! Army Ivy !

I have been a huge advocate for Buzz, with several articles written and free PR devoted the wonder that they are, but I tear my hair out with their chinos. My girlfriend who is some what of the seamstress also tore her hair out when trying to de-construct them. I find the Toys McCoy version a far superior USAAF chino.

Re: Attention !! Army Ivy !

My alterations tailor can't deconstruct them either. Is it that they too authentic, rather than Toys McCoy being far superior?

Buzz missed an opportunity with their own non-WWII spec chinos to make them more tapered and slim, or with a construction that would allow this to be achieved by a third-party.

Still, you can't fault the fabric on the Buzz Rickson chinos: crisp and clean.

And clearly, his alterations tailor can deconstruct and rebuild their chinos!

In the Buzz Rickson universe you pay a massive premium for stencilling.

Re: Attention !! Army Ivy !

I think that this could work well in a 1947 or 1955 type of way - that is, it's something that someone might have been wearing then because they just owned it, and they throw it on on weekends or something like that. The bomber jacket and the leather flight jacket can be worn in similar ways... I'm always wary of military stuff crossing over into the civilian world because it can look like a costume... But this I think is nice in fit and style and would look great with a nice pair of chinos, a sport shirt and a pair of loafers or Red Wings...

Didn't like Fury. Do like that jacket.
