The Real McCoys
-
Thanks for the info! I almost asked if anyone had a comparison between aero and alexander, is rather pay the price once than buy something and be unhappy later down the road and then end up purchasing what I should have got the first time! Appreciate lt greatly mate.
yeah agreed if you have the budget, Eastman for me have always done the best version of the A2 . iIt ain't flashy but for the nerds historically very correct. I'm sure McCoys is off the scale , but you need off the scale funds to pay for it. I struggled to pay the 600 GBP for my Eastman tbh, as much morally as financially, I think paying so much for clothes is a bit dubious. regardless it's just an opinion, I'm sure you'll enjoy it for years.

fit of the A2 is great but lose the popped collar
I sold my Buzz N1 deck jacket because I was so impressed with the quality of the RMC version. Still haven't gotten around to buying one though; they are sold out every season
I really like that blue (wool with leather patches) sports jacket

Great choice Rafa! I had an eye on them several weeks/months ago. Size 34 I assume? What did they set you back?

yes, size 34 mate…they retail for 329CHF at VMC!
the waist is like 2inches too big, but the thighs are good...so hopefully they don't shrink too much!
also tried a washed pair in 36 but were a tad too big, so i think the 34 should be right up my alley after a gentle soak/wash. -
That price is A LOT better than I thought (considering import stuff, and especially Swiss prices
)
Gonne check them out in 2-3 weeks when I probably go to Zurich

gonna pick up my pair (and some other goodies) at the end of the month!and about the pricing, they also dropped some prices cuz of the weak yen, so gotta cop

Damn Finn, that stuff all looks great! It's probably a good thing I have never got to see any McCoy stuff in person as it might become an obsession

44 is a good fit Finn, you are looking great too, think about the body length too and that tee is right on you. The jeans are not bad. You have meaty thighs and the narrow taper (imho) make the thighs look bigger, like a chicken drumstick. I ain't hating. I have the same issue with my legs I understand what you are dealing with here. Consider the IH1955's, they were made for your body, they will make your legs look even all the way down and they are narrow at the cuff if you check the sizing, and your legs will look longer trust me.

It's an advice I constantly give him
Not only his thighs but also he has wide hips which amplifies the look in the upper thighs.
But that man is an athlete and very good in shape. But some spots can't be helped (and you can't exercise away your bones). -
Do you Finn, what you like matters most.

^ o/course buddy
thanks for the words up top btw.! McCoys is awesome…you really need to see that stuff in person!
the day before going to VMC, davito was wearing the 991XH and they grabbed my attention right as he stepped around the corner!
went in to VMC the day after and asked Freddy for a nice pair of jeans for the summer months, unsanforized, low/mid rise and with not too much excess denim from knee down (as almost every pair of IH or others has!)...he grabbed those and the 004's from the pile and just by looking at me, he even grabbed the right (for me and freddy at least!) sizes!
buttoned'em up and was happy as a motherf... I think you can imagine -
Indeed sir! I'm very picky when it comes to fit (thus I have a number of pairs that have stayed fairly untouched over the years because they just don't feel quite right) but its a great feeling and, at least I, know immediately when putting a pair on if they are ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Congrats on a great pickup! I'm gonna have to try to see some in person much to my wallets dismay!

Bro, I am sure Giles would be kind enough to send you a pair of 55's to try, if you don't like em you send em back. But if you haven't tried them you won't know. With regards to feedback; people only say this as they care, you are a free man and we shall not discuss this again, peace and love.
: JMC 991XH…can't wait!
