Shameless second plug - just to let people know that the Cold Weather Jacket I'm selling from a few posts back has had a price drop - £300 from £575 (so around $450 from $870) - if anyone was interested but couldn't splash out my previous offer. Free international shipping and whatnot.

 

On an unrelated note, could anybody recommend the slimmest line in tees McCoy's offer? It seems from measurements at Superdenim and elsewhere that there's some discrepancy between tee sizings, but I can't work out whether they're due to inconsistent measuring on their part or whether the sizes simply fluctuate with each new design and production.

 

Anybody have any extensive experience of them?

There probably are significant differences between the rmc and buzz versions.

I have the rmc watch cap and a mate has the buzz version. They look very similar but feel very different. The rmc is heavier wool and rougher feeling.

I also have an rmc n-1 which feels different to the buzz version and from my memory of trying the buzz one on, also fits a bit differently.

 

I was going to suggest the RMC cotton looked heavier (or certainly stiffer) but didn't want to say as I've no real evidence to back that up beyond the feel of my own jacket and pictures of the two.

No. They make similar products, but they're separate companies.  Buzz (along with Sugar Cane and Sun Surf) is part of Toyo.  Some shops (HPA and BiG) in the US request Buzz and Real McCoy's deck jackets minus the USN markings because they've had enough customer requests for jackets that way.   

 

^ What he said. Though I don't think it's just foreign stockists who have asked for stencil-less jackets - I'm pretty sure I've seen style pics from the RMC blog of staff wearing cold weather / deck jackets minus the lettering details. Will post if I can find an image.

 

In terms of difference between the two models (RMC vs. Buzz) I'm afraid I'm unsure whether there is any major discrepancy between the two as far as measurements are concerned as I can't seem to get hold of a definitive set for the buzz model. Both use cotton grosgrain jungle cloth, both have interlined heavy woolen linings, both have deck clips (though I think there is a buzz model with a single zip too).

 

The only difference I can think of (other than the fact that Buzz do a washed version in which the cotton looks a lot more faded) is in the colour of the jungle cloth, but it's minimal (there may even be no difference as I've not witnessed the buzz in the flesh, so have only judged from photos). From what I can tell, the RMC cotton has a slightly deeper hue, a navy with more red/purple in it than the buzz which is ever so slightly lighter, a navy with more green (or at least less red) in it (?)...

 

Ethan (of Rugged Old Salt and now RRL - ethandesu.com) wears a buzz version:

 

 

Below is the RMC version:

 

 

 

As I said, could just be lighting in the photography (or my overreacting eyes).

 

Sorry I can't be more helpful!

 

(On a separate note, getting some fantastic wear out of a pair of 004 jeans and an M65 jacket - anybody have any experience of how easily the 004 break in / begin to fade? Half of me wants them to stay as they are and the other half wants to see how they'll be in 5 yrs time...)

Got a Real McCoy's Blue Cold Weather Jacket size 36 that's off fitwise.

 

EDIT: PRICE DROP - £300 down from £575 ($450 down from $870)

 

 

Links to good pics at Superdenim - http://www.superdeni...?productid=3400 <-- but I can put up some fit pics on me too if need be.

 

Chest 20.5 (inches)

Sleeve 19

Front / Back Length 24.5

Shoulder 16

 

I'm usually a 36 / 36 Long in British brands, 28 waist with 35 inseam on jeans (I'm pretty lanky at 6'3"), so a 36 in this was always going to be a bit of a gamble. Chest is comfortable, not too tight, but sleeves are just not long enough (that's my main issue, could do with another inch and a half TBH) and the overall length could be a little more. Shoulders were right on the edge of being too tight - I can wear a shirt or tee beneath, a sweat at a push, but couldn't fit a shetland or something similar (though you really wouldn't need to - I get why it's called a 'Cold Weather' jacket now, this thing keeps you seriously warm).

 

Condition is pretty much completely new, never been outside - it's been worn 2 or 3 times in front of a mirror at home to decide whether to keep / alter or not and that's it. Only reason it's not being returned to Superdenim is I took too long wondering whether to keep it and lost my returns form

 

Offering £400 down from £575 (30% off basically - Google tells me that's $600 down from $870) with free international shipping from UK, but I'm open to negotiation. PM me if interested and feel free to ask for any questions.

Hey people - been lurking on SuFu on and off, but I've got something to sell and couldn't find a dedicated page for RMC other than this.
