The Real McCoys
-
Thanks for your post! It was me who asked you for the pics. Looking good!
I read somewhere that the McCoy denim is similar to the Denime denim. The Denime XX denim is my favorite in the 13-15oz range -
The Joe Mccoy Jeans have three series, just use the 905 as an example, they r 905, 905xh and s905xh. 905 and 906 r only the basic denim from Joe Mccoy. And yes, the Joe McCoy denim is similar to the Denime denim. But in my opinion the S( )XH denim from JM r simply the best denim in the 13-15 range.

Reviving an old thread here but I have The Real McCoy's Pea Coat as my winter coat. It's cut a couple of inches longer than the Buzz Rickson one which makes a big difference as I can wear it over a suit jacket without the suit jacket showing at all (which unfortunately it did when I tried on the Buzz Rickson).
The Real McCoys one is 37oz dual layer melton wool, weighs a ton but has an absolutely beautiful cut. Some cool touches too like corduroy lined pockets.

ha, i will post some up in the next few days.

SC denim is one of the nicest within the 13 - 15 oz range…McCoys are okay, but I think the Cane denim has more character
But the king of the hill in the 13-15 category has got to be the Pure Blue Japan. Got myself one while in Tokyo and it is freaking nice. Almost like the 002 in terms of fabric irregularities and … shit, whats the term already?

Ok, ready for the NY winter:

that's a real nice peacoat.
in terms of size do you think its worth sizing up?
i'm a 38 in a blazer but i find with some japanese brands i need to go for large rather than a medium.
this is certainly true of buzz rickson sweats.
i've just ordered a real mccoy hoody in red but i'm deeply craving the pea coat and can only track it down in a 40.
should i take the plunge?
all advice gratefully received.

if the measurements are fine…go for it!

Given that you will be wearing winter layers under the peacoat, a little extra space would surely be fine. Strange time of year to be buying one though, unless you are living in New Zealand or something…

That's true…
Hassinator you will probably be fine but as others have said it will depend on the measurements. For what it's worth, I wear Small in (almost) all IH westerns/workshirts, which would probably equate to a 36 in the Real McCoys peacoat, but I took it in 38 as it fit much better sizing up a little. Good luck and hope it works out, it is a truly amazing piece.
