Buzz Rickson A-2 (6 months)

It's almost summer, so I won't be wearing the buzz jacket for much longer until next April. Thought I'd take some pics to document the changes. Here are a stack of pics.

I've worn the jacket about 4 days per week. I must say that the jacket is more awesome that I thought it would be. It's very easy to wear, so easy that I have troubles trying to not wear it.

You can see the fading on the arms, especially along the inside seams.





The pockets as well have some signs of wear/fading along the edges.


The back right has some significant fading, probably because I usually wear a daily satchel in that area.




Here is a close-up of the leather at the front, where you can see some flaking of the dye.






One of my only gripes about the jacket would be the rivetting of the neck hook. You can see in these close-ups that the top rivet on both the hook and the latch has problems.



You can see a micro hole has worn on the right hand lining seam. There's a bit of indigo transfer there too!


And here is a pic of the collar, where you can see the discolouring and wear.
