that's a nice price indeed

 

mich, great fit on that sweater; will be picking up a ballpark navy one myself for the winter as well

 

double O; i'm just in between size of those rakuten guys; looks like the tallest dude still has some room around the chest so will most likely go for a 36; still have some time to contemplate as I'm awaiting my Sugarcane moleskin jacket first; which is stuck at customs for a week already

[whozdrew?]

They respond very quickly to email inquiries

Thanks guys!

 

I hope Gregory does not mind me x-posting this.

He is also 5'8" the same as you drew (160lbs) and his fit pic for this Med BR is the quintessential vintage sweatshirt fit imo.

His old cut BR fits shorter in the body than the RMC.

 

don't mind at all, in fact I've been eying an RMC so this was a big help haha thanks for including me in the discussion!

McCoys decided to reproduce the N1 because they were so cold that they had become known as chilly McCoys. Fact.

[kimi]

My N-1 arrived today, excellent service from VP as always. Really pleased with this, outstanding quality, thick soft and warm. I have a 40" chest, am 76kg and 185cm tall. I went for a size 40 and it fits great, even the sleeves which I thought may be on the short side. For the sake of those wondering about sizing, here's a dodgy fit pic.

Kimi,

That looks spot on.

Does your chest actually measure 40" or do you wear a size 40? Does the chest fit snug or is there some room?

Cheers

Nice looking jacket kimi.

[Mich]

Great jacket, great fit Kimi.

[kimi]

thanks chaps.

Maynard, my chest is about 40" and under there I'm wearing a long sleeve Henley and a heavy flannel shirt and its just right, not to flappy nor too tight.

[Maynard Friedman]

Ahem!

Missed the DHL guy today as I was getting my wisdom teeth pulled this morning. No Ball Park sweat until tomorrow. In the mean time, decided to share a few photos of the fit on my 991XH worn pretty casually through the summer.

 

 

"Photographs" are obviously taken on my iPhone. Someone sell me their DSLR!

By VP do you mean Vintage Paradise in Japan? Did you get hit by any custom fees or anything?

 

Thanks

[bradl]

Yes, Kenny Bania, that is an awesome name!!

 

991 are out for delivery, so finally going to be receiving them in a few hours.

[Broark]

I'm really tempted to order some 991's from Independence, I just have so much denim right now.
Post some pics, I'm interested to see how they look!

[bradl]

Obviously, pre soak. Will throw up another fit after wards. 

 

 

Love the pink selvedge id.

[Broark]

Damn, those look really nice.

Looking like I'm going to be sending Independence an email to see if they've still got my size!

[emgee420]

I wish I could have got those 991s in my size, awesome fit bradl

[whozdrew?]

The fit on my Ball Park sweat. Size M

 

 

 

What do you think? I really like the way it fits right now. The sleeves are a bit long, but I feel like the length is spot on. How much shrinkage (inch-wise) can I expect after a wash?

 

 

 

edit: I really can't get over how shitty this camera is.

Fit looks good to me and you might loose a little length in the sleeves once the creases set in on the elbow joint.

[Double 0 Soul]

Looks good drew, just need to get rid of the too much t-shirt under hang. Min shrinkage on a 30C or you can loose 5% on a 40C.

I bet you wish you opted for the XL?

Yea thats Vintage Paradise in Japan, and no nasty surprises upon arrival either.

Maybe not quite an XL, but I'm considering sending back for a Large. I'm only skeptical about the length, an aspect that is of course particular to the vintage fit of this sweatshirt. I really want to be able to wear this without having to hesitate every time I need to wash it. I don't want it to end up too short. Judging by the length of the sleeves however, it seems as if it fits as intended. Pre-wash anyway..

Just bought two printed McCoys tees, quality is excellent and I like how they feel lighter than Flathead tees. Pictures up soon!
