If I would have known that these were going to be such a hot commodity, I would have acquired one when I was on active duty. They were great jackets on the ship.
Recently got a black N1 repro from ATF for only $50 total with shipping (closeout). It's incredibly warm, comfortable, and looks + fits great. Only issue is that it's so warm that I probably won't be able to wear it much since the area where I live has mild winters, usually hovering around the 30s to mid 40s.
Really nice jacket Derek, I had a Buzz Ricksons N1 but it was more of a tan colour - I prefer yours as its more Olive Green. Is this just the lighting or do they have Olive Green ones as well?
Thanks. When I bought it they had 3 versions I think. This one, the Demotex and the William Gibson. I think there was only one color for the standard. It's super close to the original too.
Just bought an original one in great condition, what do you recommend for care and maintenance? I don’t want to risk ruining a great jacket when I need to wash it.
Great you found one! I'd really not do much to it. Don't Wash It! If it's smelly, just leave it in the sun for a little. I think washing will ruin it. I'd add a little bees wax to the zipper to help it work better, but besides that, patch up any holes and wear it!
One thing is that N-1s were never khaki. They were issued in olive drab only. The reason why people think they are in khaki, is because they faded to khaki, due to salt air mainly. Sun also faded the jacket.
I have the “ Real McCoy “ in this colour and an “ Eat Dust “ in blue , the cut of the eat dust feels better on my body and was half the price of the real McCoy I wear it most every day in winter.
Thank you. You have warmed this old mans heart.
Thank you!
Fantastic jackets. The Buzz looks really good. The original, even better. 👍🍻
Thanks! I 100% agree
Nice! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!

So many things I wish I knew then. They're jacket jackets on and off ships!
Great video! I've been wanting the Real Mccoy N-1 but decided on the more affordable Bronson one.
Thanks! Bronson isn’t bad till you can find an affordable Real McCoy.
Love the Buzz
Thank you
Just bought a Bronson. I have to say I'm impressed.
They make a great jacket I have to admit.

What a fantastic deal! Just leave it unzipped with a T-shirt! Shame to not wear it.
What is ATF Please am european
@@antoniobranco8005 AFT is At The Front. They make and sell reproduction WWII clothing.
@@derekdoeschannel thanks pal
that's a great looking jacket and now I want to find one that's not so expensive
Keep looking. I paid less for the original than the reproduction!

i have an original ww2 n1 but it is very stiff canvas which i like.
i would like to buy a repro
There are a lot of choices today on a repro.

Both great but original definitely has the edge. Drape is way better. Not sure if that's just a closer size match explanation though.
Totally agree. But the Buzz might get there in a few decades.
I just ordered a A2 deck jacket my local surplus doesn’t carry them they hard to find
There are a few repro's out there that make them if you got one through them or did you get an original?

Thanks I didn't know that.

I'll have to look up the brand "Eat Dust!" Thanks
How does the A-2 jacket compare to this one?
I really don't know as I've never worn the Navy A-2 to compair the two.
how tall are you and which size did you wear?
I'm 5'10. and went with the Buzz X-Large (44) but have the original in a 42.
FYI: I was in Underwater Salvage;
That is quite exciting. Pretty dangerous work for sure.
Дайте, пожалуйста, ссылку где заказать.
Sorry I don’t have one. Do a search for a shop that Carrie’s them.
Một chiếc áo M65 giá bao nhiêu vậy bác❤
Hi it depends on the year and color. Anywhere between $40-$300
How tall are you if you have an XL size I am 1.80 meters tall if you are shorter I will have to order a larger size.
I'm 5'10" or 1.79 meters tall. You should be pretty close to me and sizing then.
@@derekdoeschannel oke great thanks.
That's a Talon M-43 zipper.
Thanks!
外国の方もバズを着るのですね?少し驚いたのと嬉しく思いました。
Those that us that know about Buzz seek it out. It's a great reproduction company.
私もバズのB-15とL-2を持ってます。バズ仲間ですね!
アメリカでも普通にバズを売ってるのですか?
Nice group you have. I think there might be one or two places, but I ordered my N-1 Directly from Japan and had it shipped in.
そーなんですね!日本で買うより高そうですね。
@@hide9242it was cheaper back in the day.
