The Real McCoys

[mclaincausey]

Got a pea coat. This thing is terrific. Extremely soft and dense double Melton wool. It's very warm and wind resistant and is handling -20 degrees Fahrenheit wind chill on -10 air temperature very well with a wool commando sweater and tee underneath.

Stenciled as a coat for the WW1 era coal ship Cyclops which was lost at sea I think in the Bermuda Triangle.

All pockets are lined with a really soft and luxurious corduroy. This one is the 1913 model, so it has two flap pockets below the standard vertical handwarmer slats in addition to this inside chest pocket:

Finally, this features ebonite 13 star buttons. This is an old, obsolete, period correct hardened rubber.

where you got it from MCL? looks good, though i might think this thing could be way too warm for me

@mclaincausey:

I have a pea coat landing from Japan at my office today.

get the iron heart one Rafa, unless you're into historical, rest assured IHW05 will make you 

[Finn666]

thanks for the quote buddy…and well, i really don't need a new coat no snow in sight here in switzerland at all, so atm. i'm good

[mclaincausey]

This is from Real Deal in Japan. I'm not sure that it's that much warmer than IH, the length and flap pockets were what I liked. It doesn't have storm cuffs as the IH one does so the arms are probably not as warm.

just got my navy rmc watch cap in the mail
wish i had have got another buzz rickson one
rmc material is a bit thinner
don't like that its already pressed in a fold that doesnt work for me

Sharp, MCL. Nice pick up.

Sorry to hear that, nate. I appreciate you passing along the info, though.

[davito]

Great 13's pea mclaincausey wear it well

Nate the usn watch cap is a bit diff than the A4 which RMC reproduce as well but i am sure you can sell that usn pretty quickly if its not for u. Good luck

[mclaincausey]

Thanks gents. I am a huge fan of the extra flap pockets. It is so handy to have extra safely usable exterior pockets on a pea coat, especially given how they are kind of a hassle to take on and off / open and close. Perfect for car keys and gloves or even as secondary handwarmers.

The flap pockets and resulting length are what steered me to this model and it's worked out well. The details just keep revealing themselves as premium Japanese brands tend to do. I'm smitten.

Mclaincausey spoke today to somebody who was wearing the RMC 13 pea. Outstanding coat, extremely nice

[mclaincausey]

Very cool davito, thanks!

They should make it "extant," if you will. Freewheelers makes one but it's over U$D1,000. The 1913 pattern is a winner in my book, I hope others follow suit. An IH one with slat instead of flap hip pockets, retaining the storm cuffs, and adding a silky lining (nylon or something) particularly in the arms (the cotton-wool twill lining on relatively small arms makes getting into the arms a struggle with beefy clothes on) would be a good 1913-inspired variant.

[davito]

The accurate inner lining appeals very much to me as does the whole coat. Funny enough the person was mentioning that "problem" with the cotton inner lining i know of the freewheelers and like that one also very much, the inner stenciling seems to split the minds but i like it. Gorgeous coats, now up and enjoy this beauty man
