Real McCoy's / Joe McCoy's Jeans

[Geeman]

The biggest loss now that Vintage Paradise have taken down their listings is not having specific measurements for reference (I was lining up a few purchases from them). The RMC site has general measurements for their shirts and outerwear which is hardly very helpful

That's a good point. The VP listings and pics with the "models" sizing were helpful

It's a Real McCoy's day! Just got my Chambray shirt through, wearing with my 004s and N-1 field boots.

 

Also got a tee and handkerchief. The measurements on superdenim.com were pretty spot on, asides from shoulder (no idea how they measure it, but the shoulder is a good inch larger, which I was betting on!).

I'm considering either the McCoys or Freewheelers N-1 for winter outerware. Can anybody comment on the suitability of the N-1 for winters in the northeastern and Midwestern United States (e.g. NYC and Chicago)? the style looks like it should be pretty warm with the alpaca / wool lining, but at what temp would I need to step up to something warmer?

Lookin' good Aries!

 

Wish I could wear Real McCoy's shirts.  I've tried a couple but they're trim in the chest.  I need an XL for the chest, then the sleeves are hanging over my hands ;-)

The N-1 is pretty warm, but its difficult to tell in the summer. I think it will work for the NYC weather. Unless you want to upgrade to a B-7. That's pretty heavy.

[fre-co]

I have the n1. Plenty warm enough with just a shirt or sweat for the British winter last year. Although it was a pretty mild winter with hardly any snow. I imagine it would serve the purpose for ny with more layers.

It is pretty heavy and dense, the alpaca is thick and will stop the wind chill well.

Thanks guys! Guess I'll probably pick one up in that case (excuse the fat fingers coleslaw!)

Depends on how resistant to cold you are and how long you plan on being outdoors.  I never found any of my WWII repro jackets (B-10s, B-15s, Tankers, zip front deck jackets) suitable when the temp gets down to 20 or colder without multiple layers on under them. And I wouldn't have wanted to brave the sub zero temps we had last winter in those jackets.  Figure your N-1 will be best suited to the 25 to 40 degree range with normal clothing (flannel shirt or a sweater).  Expecting colder than that, invest in down.

Very happy with this sweat shirt.

I'm not sure which one it is. They have so many different ones.

I'd say, it's a bit lighter, perhaps around 10oz. Perfect for summer evenings.

The cut is quite traditional in that it is short but still long enough for me.

Advice on Shrinkage and stretch on JMC lot 991xh guys? Looking at BiG charts I could go as low as a 29 or 30??? Which despite making me feel like I'm young and lean again I'd be reluctant to try if there's a lot of shrinkage. 

[whozdrew?]

I went with my true size (33) in the 991XH. I love the fit right now, they do shrink after a wash, but quickly stretch back out to a comfortable size. That being said, I could have gone with a 32 for a bit of a thinner look.

 

Favorite fitting jeans I've ever had.

[Geeman]

Would you say they shrink a lot or not in comparison to other unsanforized you've owned? An inch or so in the waist I can take!

[whozdrew?]

I'd put them right in the middle. Not as much as my Flat Head 1001s, but more than the 19oz from Samurai.

 

Where are you buying from? BiG? You can always exhange.

[Geeman]

Cheers for the info. If I order will be from Japan through pirates. Still on fence with them. I have a JMC jacket and am getting very interested in RMC and JMC stuff.

Hi,

I am planning to get a RMC A-1 for this winter, I have never owned any RMC leather jackets, I am not really sure what size I should go for. Most of my RMC jackets are in size 40 (927 denim jacket, B-10, 37j1b, coverall jacket, Buco-100). 

I am 177 cm and 168 lbs

 

Any RMC A-1 owners to share your experience?

 

Thanks in advance

[matt72178]

Pictures were taken in the Real McCoy shop in Tokyo.

 

 

[Capsicum Fried Meat]

Any idea about those black boots under the bench?

I'd probably only spunk that sort of cash in-store to get the absolute best fit and the full experience

I tried one on recently.

I'd say they fit pretty much true to size. Or you might size one up.

 

How is the length of the RMC B-10?

And which version do you own?

Thank you for your reply

I will bid the A-1 in the Japanese auction, there is only one RMC A-1(MJ10101) jacket in size 40 in the auction.

I own the Kelly's Kobras (MJ13106)

 

The length of the jacket is not that short as you expected. This is size 40.

Saw the aw14 stuff fuckin awesome they have a liberty cpo 30,000 yen and they changed the pattern they made it bigger and a varsity with tan sleeves awesome! Joe mccoy ww2 denim jacket and ww2 jeans too! So wow awesome!

[Theloniouskase21]

I have a pair of Lot 004 and 991xh both in a size 31 that I am letting go together. I've lost weight and both fit too big now. Want to sell them together for $300, to put down on a new purchase. PM if anyone's interested, I'll send pics. Both are in great condition. The crotch on the Lot 004 have been reinforced by Blue in Green, did this as a preemptive.

[Unbalanced]

Anyone knows if there is a natural colored sweatshirt but with raglan constuction? I ordered the natural/cream one from superdenim but it has normal shoulders and i like the raglan cut more. I have put the other one up the supermarket if anyone is after size M!

[cool_hand]

where can I buy Real McCoy in Japan direct, and will ship to UK?

[Geeman]

Here you go, RMC official sites for English.

Also Pirates have a small selection but can source any RMC / JMC for you

Good day fellas!

I totally want to buy the Ball Park Sweater but I am unsure with the sizes.

I wear one of their sweats in M, the 10oz sports-version, not loopwheeled.

I am 5' 8" and maybe 65 kg - thin!

What do you recommend?

Could be a stupid question, but you just confused me plus the sizing of the two sets isn't the same.

Best

Nemo

Sorry to dig so far into the vaults on this one, but I can't get The Real McCoy's off my mind. Looking to purchase a loopwheeled Ball Park crew neck sweat from either Superdenim or Inventory eventually this week, only not entirely sure how to size. I like the fit you have here Double 0, any guidance you wouldn't mind sharing? I'm ~5'8" and 165 pounds and wear a size L (American sizing) in most t shirts and sweatshirts. Assuming these shrink quite a bit, I'm still debating between a L and even an XL.

Any help is appreciated. Here are a few links to the sweatshirt. I'm assuming they're the same. :
