I have three pairs, two Original Spec and one 1945. No noticable shrinkage in the waist. Mine didn't shrink lengthwise either but I air dry them. Good chinos but stiff and take a long time to break in and soften.
Thanks! I'm digging some other high rise chinos, so that sounds like my kind of crazy. I have some Bronson chinos that are supposedly modeled after the 1942 spec, and the Buzz ones seem similar if a tiny bit trimmer.
Thanks! I was looking at the 1942 pair, which I was able to find a listing for on Rakuten using the one you provided. History Preservation and the Rakuten listing have slightly different waist measurements for a size 30 (31 inches and approximately 31.5 inches, respectively). Perhaps it's a rounding thing, or maybe I'm being too obsessive. I'm just always nervous about ordering things I have no experience with.
My mistake, meant to link 1942. Glad you found it. The Hinoya listing on Rakuten is very accurate for all their items, more so than Denimio.
Didn’t realise Noel Gallagher was a repro fan these days
that A-2 looks sweet tho
Others may chime in, but from my own experience the majority of difference will just come down to material quality and true to spec details. From what I’ve read the Buzz is closest in spec in regards to the lining material composition. BR is probably the best value imo. I have the McCoys version and the lining is a bit more luxe as is the full alpaca collar. On the higher end side, the Freewheelers version is a little nicer than the RMC in materials/lining but not sure if it’s worth the upcharge for this style of jacket.
Don’t forget Pike Brothers, not as premium but most everyone who’s had one that I read about rates ‘em.
No Man Walks Alone - Informale Jungle Jacket - $655 A classic military piece revised to slot seamlessly into a sharp wardrobe. It's surprising how many details feel directly lifted from the Vietnam War-era design, like those iconic pockets and shorter button placket, yet the jacket reads more like a sport coat with how Informale tweaked things. 
Nicks Boots - JL64 - Maker's Series - $569 These boots feature the rugged durability of Roughout British Tan CXL leather, complemented by a sophisticated Rolled Top for added comfort. The Logger Heel ensures stability and support, while the 430 MV Outsole offers exceptional traction. Finished with Antique Hardware, these boots blend timeless aesthetics with modern functionality.
