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

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.
Super excited for you mate. Pls post pix whenever you have time

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.

I have these & the taxi driver 101z's.
Denim is great, very vintage feel with superb fading potential. Highly recommended. -
babyknight, that vest is superb. Great pickup. Enjoy!

sweet jesus this is absolutely beautiful.
i want the chocolate brown and will just have to pre-order from superdenim as they're all gone this year.

i just took delivery of the plain grey real mccoy sweat and from my personal experience i have not encountered deep cotton quality of this standard from any other brand.
the medium is a borderline fit for me though i'm definitely that from buzz rickson and a size 1 at albam though maybe i'm just worrying about all the eating i'm going to do over xmas.
i'm worried that it will shrink a little more when washed like the red raglan sleeve heavy sweat i got last winter but washing is the whole point here with the neck collar at a clever diagonal to the rest of the knit.
-
just got one as well, seems really nice quality, I notices the diagonal neck - is that to counteract stretch?
i just thought it would look nice on the fade
speechless
