My size 38 Buzz Rough Wear A-2 fits exactly like my original size 38 Rough Wear (unlike my Eastman Rough Wear). I have noticed differences in some of their nylon jackets' cuts, but the Buzz A-2s seem pretty faithful pattern-wise. What modern concessions have you noticed in the Buzz A-2 patterns?
I once ordered an Aero grizzly in a size 38. It was 24 inches across the chest, had a 19 inch shoulder span, and 26 inch sleeves. I had to eat the $50 to ship it back to the UK but they did refund the cost of the jacket.

When I was in Tokyo (two years ag) there was a new light russet Buzz Perry out. Really nice repro.Must have been a hot seller because I saw at least 20 people wearing them around on the streets.
