Very nice D!

I'm guessing I should go with a medium in the RMC sweats then.

[davito]

Thanks Q
Which one you going for?

[Qinhan]

Thinking about a crewneck.  I'm a little disappointed with the loss in shape of my Buzz Rickson one.

[davito]

There is a new run loopwheeled coming from JMC afaik they look really nice, lighter than the ballparks too @Qinhan

[davito]

make sure you check the measurements in the Military sweats carefully as they come up in different cuts too. Some are boxier and relaxed fit some are slimmer. @Qinhan

Difference are loopwheeled vs the non-loopwheeled ones afaik

[Qinhan]

Thanks D.  Hoping that the collar on these ones hold their shape better too.

[davito]

@Qinhan this is my Ballpark heavyweight small

[Qinhan]

Mmmmm.  I reckon I could almost squeeze into that…

[davito]

Yeah i am pretty lean and the Ballpark comes in a boxy fit. I am 173cm 62kg and about 96-98cm chest. And they get better the more worn. Have washed both about two times, lil shrinkage and they stretch out when necessary. Collar is stable

[Qinhan]

Very good to know.  Thanks D.

Haven't taken my full zip off since it arrived, thanks for the sizing help @davito

Really like that zip-up hoodie David. And thanks for all the info on the different varieties of RMC sweats.

Wondering which sweats use the same material as these shorts?

^Those shorts are made from a 9oz non loopwheeled suvin cotton cloth just like these raglan crew necks and long sweat pants (I own both):

Thanks dude, very helpful. Looks like the MC13022 parka is also made with the suvin cotton sweat. Making my decision very easy. Cheers.

[davito]

You r welcome @David_pll its a cool sweat, enjoy wearing it.

Hi @Chiba J. Thank you. You r welcome. The mc13022 is made with suvin too thats right

[Chiba J.]

Maybe that link doesn't work.. Google Real Mccoys Covent Garden if you want a little read up.
