The Real McCoys

oh Eli you bastard!

[babyknight]

In another example of this Forum costing me way too much money, I ended up getting the  Real McCoys deerskin vest via proxy from Japan.  Will pick it up when I'm back home in NYC at the end of the month and super excited for it.

Holy fuck BK, you got a deerskin vest, that shit is the ultimate.

[Chiba J.]

You're a lucky man, that vest is amazing.

[Finn666]

bk ain't fucking around y'all…well done mate!

[joesaintjohn]

Damn you, BK…just when I thought you couldn't rock it any harder...you pull this move...deerskin...beats rock, paper, and scissors!

[babyknight]

ha, thanks guys.  i hope it works out… can never be 100% sure with proxying something that the sizing will work, but RM sizing tends to work well for me so i am optimistic.  fit pics for sure when i am home and pick it up late november/early december.

Anybody tried any of the Real McCoys Lee repros? I'm particularly interested in the 101B (MP6101), which is their version of a 40-50s style Lee. Tried them on at the Shibuya store the other day, and they felt great. What do all you denim experts think of this denim? (good pics below)

real mccoy loopwheeled items are like raw denim.  they come kind of stiff & crispy & to me appear unwashed.  any one with some real world experience can give me a schooling?

think i found my loopwheeled obsession for this coming winter

Ok… so I finally got my hands on the Joe McCoy deeskin vest last week.  It is absolutely next-level.  Beautifully warm, exquisite craftsmanship and works with so many different styles.  I took 38, the same size as my Real McCoy's peacoat (I tend to take S, or sometimes M, in IH) so I can wear it with a couple of layers underneath if needed.

Absolutely next Level babyknight  speechless

I have these & the taxi driver 101z's.
Denim is great, very vintage feel with superb fading potential. Highly recommended.

^ Babyknight - looks amazing on you.  I tried on one of these last time I was in Japan so I know what you mean about the quality of the materials and construction.  Fantastic stuff.  Wear it in good health.

babyknight, that vest is superb. Great pickup. Enjoy!

Thanks patch. I actually picked up the MF Buckaroos, but I'm thinking the Lees will be my next purchase. I see they just put these up on their blog.
