  1. Hello all. I've just picked up a The Real McCoy's Pea Coat from Blue in Green, NYC. I'm a connoisseur of quality as well as accurate reproductions. Though I could have picked up a run-of-the-mill pea coat from nearly anywhere and at a bargain, it would not suit my taste and I'd eventually want more. I considered the Buzz Rickson model because its significantly less expensive, and more so because Self Edge was having a 13% off Black Friday sale yesterday, but my knowledge of The Real McCoys quality, both firsthand, and from my research, has led me to drop the dough and pick it up. They run a bit small, and I normally wear a medium. The size 44 was the best fit. Fit pics to come.

     

    Here are some detailed pics:

    For some reason all i see is black. Did big have a black friday sale?

  2. I'm a 40 in suits. My 40 Buzz Peacoat fits perfectly. The 40 RMC Peacoat fit about the same when I tried it on at BIG. The RMC felt a little heavier, but they're both pretty stiff and heavy - in a good way. I still feel the Buzz is a better value just because it's a couple hundo cheaper. I wear my Buzz pretty much every day in the winter unless it's really cold then I switch to one of my Canada Goose.

    Do you find that being such a heavy coat, it sags hanging in the closet? Does the shoulder area wrinkle and stretch?
