@hassinator:

interesting post and i would have to love a president that could get hold of a b-17 but looking at hiroshi's own commercial/film here three of the first four jackets have bugs bunny; tasmanian devil and felix the cat as their main logos!

I'm surprise no one else mentioned the B-17. If it's true, it's bloody amazing!

@Takeshi:

where can I pick one of these up ?

they have just had a restock at superdenim

[Takeshi]

cheers , just bought one ..

double diamond chinos arrived when i was away in chamonix.  they are lovely but a very roomy 34" so currently on their first wash to see if we can knock them into shape.  in terms of buying mccoy legwear should i just treat the sizing as the same as US jeans brands?  with the shirts; jackets and sweats i size up to large or 16" collar as opposed to 15" brooks brothers.

i wonder what sartre would have had to say about japanese medium?

The 3 pairs of pants I've had all shrank to tagged size after a few washes, so if they look baggy when trying on new , they wont stay that way.

truth be told.  i have an actual 35" waist but 34" double diamond chinos were lose as a goose when i first received.

two washes in they are superb.  perfect drape across my batty and while initially seemed lose around the calf its a size readjustment after two years of super narrow fit.  excellent fabric with a glorious texture that has already started to show off now its had a wash.

has anyone else being taking advantage of the japanese exchange rate in the UK?  ratkuten currently offering better than 50% off mccoy and rickson if you shop direct with japan.

[Shanks59]

50% .. Can you post an example please …

look at superdenim in the UK and marvel at the mccoy oxford in white for £225 then got to rakuten vintage paradise and find the same shirt for under £120.  come on big man google is your friend.

[hassinator]

here you go.  big difference.

real mccoy sweat wear is incredible in my humble.

got a grey hoodie that looks like it has black flecks & the fit is incredible.

[davito]

Hei Gentlemen thx very much. Madmonday yeah the hoodies are outstanding like the sweats. I am pretty excited I laid my hands on this stuff.

[Max Power]

Just got this JoeMcCoy Hoodie. I feel it is a tad too big for me, especially the long arms (normally my crucial point, as they are too short). Opinions?
