Real McCoy's / Joe McCoy's Jeans

[fre-co]

I had a br old style sweat in xxl that was too roomy. My xl rmc sweats are perfect, short and trim.

[coleslawyum]

I have around a 42 chest, so I wear a large in the hoodys and an xl in the crewnecks and t-shirts. . Leather jackets, I wear a 44.

It really depends on the item, because some of the tops are cut oversize due to the original sizing spec of the "inspired-from" vintage piece.

While we're comparing BR and RMC, can someone speak of the differences in quality between the two brands' watch caps? This cold weather has got me in a shopping mood.

[Double 0 Soul]

RMC is better quality with a tighter knit, they both use the 6 petal crown stitch, imo if you have a smaller head or would like your watch cap to sit higher on your head go with the buzz.

I've just ordered my first mcCoy's item.

The 8HU HBT Workshirt Lot.536D in Blue.

On the face of it a great looking Herringbone Workshirt but From what I hear there'll be much more revealed when I have it in hand.

Quite excited about its arrival.

I've been admiring McCoys from A-far for a while now, thought it was time to jump in!

Next on the list an N-1 when I'm in Tokyo ;-) (or realistically a sweat to start with)

Will post up pics when it arrives.

Cheers

I have the 8HU HBT Workshirt in Khaki.

It's a beautiful shirt, you won't regret the purchase.

The fabric gets even better with a soak or two.

[Double 0 Soul]

One of my biggest regrets.. 8hr Union.

Too slow out the blocks in 2010.

[UkeNo]

Thanks Clayton. I'm really lolling forward to it arriving.

Double-O - there is a black 8Hr shirt this season;

[Double 0 Soul]

Its a completely different shirt, its a Twist Chambray.

Im not a fan of the herringbone, but each to his own i suppose.

[UkeNo]

Ah, fair enough - only saw it on my phone.

That remindes me of a Lofgren Salt and Pepper shirt I was after - LS-010-BLACK - sold out as well.

Why not so keen on the herringbone? I'm quite a fan - especially for shirting.

[Double 0 Soul]

Its just not for me thats all. theres nothing wrong with it.

Lofgren has the neal, black pepper chambray in stock just not the white.

I have just got the white neal in the post. Sweet!

Still patiently waiting for BiG to restock the 991 and put the XH online. How would those of you that have been able to experience both compare one another? I've been looking to get a lighter-ounce pair of jeans, but both are pretty light compared the the Samurais and Dry Bones collabs I've been wearing for the last few years.

[lance]

Does anyone else find it impossible to access Real McCoys stuff on the BIG website? For the past week to 10 days, it's the only one I can't access.

[whozdrew?]

Trust me man, I've been checking the site multiple times a day. No problems on my end though

[lance]

ok, thanks. can't figure it

[nicolnicolnicol]

Any one can point me in the directions of some accurate real McCoy jeans measurements? The ones from rakuten don't look convincing..

[beautiful_FrEaK]

BiG?

[nicolnicolnicol]

I checked bf.. They didn't have the model I was looking at. I wanna do some comparison between the 002 and 004.

[UkeNo]

Shirt's arrived - 8 Hour Union in Blue HBT

Fit = Perfect.

Quality of construction = Perfect too.

Very pleased with it. So much so that I'm wearing it straight out of the packaging instead of taking the time to photograph it for you all.

Any tips on how to stop the Chainstitch runoff from unravelling over time?

I'm happy to not do anything to them but with washing etc I can see them coming undone.

Is this right or am I being too precious about it (I already assume I am)?

Thanks

[big truck]

I'd just wear it if I were you. I'm sure RMc don't make shirts that fall apart after a while.

[Maynard Friedman]

^^ I usually cut off the surplus chainstitch and manually bartack them at the cut-off point. I think they look messy and make the shirt look unfinished.

EDIT: By manually bartack, I mean sew by hand, no sewing machine required.

Alternatively, just tie them in a knot high up beneath the bottom of the shirt and snip them off.

Edited January 24, 2013 by Maynard Friedman

[UkeNo]

^ Thats a thought, although I don't have a sewing machine currently.

Ill wear and wash a few times and see how they hold up. will consider altering them if they begin to unwrap.

Thanks Guys

[Double 0 Soul]

Oh my Lord!

Chainstitch run off never unravels its like Willie Nelsons hair.

maynard sent me out for a "long stand" 5 years ago and i still cant find it.

(Your a cruel man)

[UkeNo]

Right then

i'll also be off out to find a bubble for my spirit level!!!

[kimi]

does anyone know how the sizing of the real mccoys hoodie compares to the normal heavyweight sweat? it looks like its a little larger size for size and maybe a bit shorter... anyone have both?

[rawsnoopy]

^I don't know if your referring to the pullover or the zip up hoodie

But, comparing my pullover hoodie and my crew neck:

Chest is wider and length is shorter (doesn't really make sense lol)

In general pullover is way more boxy

I wouldn't size down though, I took the same size

After some wear and wash the excess fabric in the width forms in a nice way to your body, so its okay if it seems baggyish on the chest/stomach area when you first get it

But, if when you get it you find it too short, your screwed, cuz if anything it will shrink about .25-..75" more with wash
