Wants

They run a little small. Normally I wear a L, but an XL in these. I have one and can do a fit pic. They are true vintage in shape in that they are sort of v-shaped in appearance, but not as comical as the Strike Golds seem to look when new (I don't know if they stay that way, so don't shoot me Strike Gold sweats owners). My wife likes it on me, FWIW. Haha. It is a flattering shape and doesn't make you look like a 20s circus strongman like the SGs SEEEEM to do. But it still retains the vintage look and feel. To me, if feels/looks much more accurate to a classic sweatshirt than the exaggerated SGs.

From what I know about you and the sizes you wear, it seems an XL would also do ya right.

Now, be aware brentkuz that unlike the SGs, the Buzz Ricksons do NOT have a sewn/set-in "vee"/"sweat catch" like classics: that is, it is not a separate piece of fabric sewn into the neck area like traditionally done. The Deluxeware has that detail (because I love my Rickson so much and I know I'll wear the shit out of it in December through February, I have one of those on order too from since, like, July with 2nd on Rakuten, but they are back ordered until late October), and The Real McCoy versionhas it too(that one is impossible to find at a decent price). Toys McCoy, Warehouse, and Studio D'Artisan may all have one also that is like that, but if I remember correctly I didn't like the styling on those. I think I remember the Studio one looked like a sweatshirt from Zayre's my Aunt would send me nearly every Christmas in the 80s.

But, for the price, I don't mind the Buzz not having a true sweat catch vee placket. It is soft as hell, looks nice, and the price is hard to beat.

EDIT: Holy shit, davito . Your style just kills it, homie.

those look terrific - thanks for posting. moving towards the top of the list right under a pair of Roys and the Fullcount 1109IC.

You buy everything else just go online and do it.

Yessir. I have the grey XL. Looks like they have the Navy and Oatmeal in stock in XL.

Hmmm...you went XL in these? I was thinking large. I like the oatmeal and the grey

Defnitely in the market for a sweatshirt. I was thinking BR (need to start using acronyms so I can fit in with the cool kids ) but the Deluxewear looks nice as well. Truth be told I just want something that fits okay and is made from a heavy material.

On a side note, surprised there's not all that much about Studio D'artisan on here. just ordered that shirt I posted earlier, think it looks great! They have a few interesting pieces as well as repro kind of stuff:

Out of my price range and not really to my taste, but could look great on the right person I think (made from nubuck leather):

I bought the chambray over the Iron Heart 10oz as I thought it was a bit more interesting (and a tad heavier). They have some lovely stuff!

thanks for the input man.  I'm 6 foot with a 42" actual chest and 32.5" actual waist.  How are the length on these?  I know sweatshirts are supposed to be shorter but I hate it when they are too short.  

whiskeyriver thanks for your kind words man

bugula thank you think you will like em too

A good sweatshirt is nice to have, they are built to last and get better with age, I own some McCoys crew necks and hoodies really great for leisure time. Other brands like BR, WH, etc are great too of course. Or if you can catch an old champion one hell yeah

here some lil details of my Joe McCoy Ballpark by The Real McCoy's







wearing it together with my 20th anni RMC A2

I received a 20% coupon from Bonobos. Should I use the 20% off coupon on the Suede Bomber, or get 30% off the Wallace & Barnes MA1 jacket from Jcrew. Decisions, decisions.

Broke down and bought the XL navy buzz rickson sweatshirt from QS-Gate. Hopefully it's the loopwheeled goodness that I crave. Had rakuten points got it down to $76 using them.
