Hello everyone,

First post from a lurker. Im looking for a jacket, at first I considered an A2, but I already have a Langlitz (body armor) that gets most of my wear when its not too cold.

For winter wear are any of these better than the others? Also who is considered to make the best copies, Buzz Rickson?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a B10 (A japanese Real McCoys) and it's one of the jackets I wear most regularily, as it's light, trim, and stylish.

The collar is perfect when buttoned up, keeping chilly winds at bay.
There's an inside pocket for wallet, I try not to put too much in the exterior pockets, as they make you look like a hoarding chipmunk).

I'd certainly recommend Buzz Rickson's B10s as well, having tried on a bunch in Tokyo.

The Tanker isn't that warm.. and personally a bit too utilitarian for the price.

I've never owned a B15..but am tempted..

Good luck!

Ruf
