      Just got an email through this morning saying that the Real McCoy's store in Covent Garden is now open…

      Unfortunately I moved out of London last weekend.

          I wear a small in the heavy ballpark crewneck and heavy Ballpark zipup and small in IH heavy flannels. I ordered my usual small in this one. Will see how it turns out when it arrives.

            So would you suggest I wear XL then? I remember my IH sweatshirt always felt too big in XL but then again it wasn't double faced….

              I dont like too oversized tops except an overshirt sometimes. Like you i like a trim fit.
              Lewis from superdenim suggested me to stay in my usual size i wear in JMC Ballpark sweats, he does the same. I have no experience with larger sizes especially mccoy sizing is sometimes a bit tricky but i think in this sweat shouldnt be a prob. i can tell more when it arrives during next week and will report back @SepticSef
              Did you compare the sizing chart with your current tops ie a comparable sweatshirt you own?
              Lewis further informed me that no shrinkage is to be expected. Well i still think you'll get a bit but not that significant (depending how you wash). maybe a bit in length but overall it will stretch out again if needed. This is what i experienced with my crewneck after i washed it twice so far. We will see what happens with the double face.

              On another note these guys do come short and prob just hit your waistline depending how you wear your pants and which size you choose. I go vintage style, short cut, like they were worn back then

                Would you say the superdenim measurements are accurate?

                  @Max Power I buy usually most mccoy stuff at VMC and if i buy online i go from the size i am used to wear in certain items and send an Email - in this case to Lewis - to ask how it compares to the fit I wear in another mccoys top. I think the measurements on the sweats are ok there and also correspond with the ones at BiG as far as i see. I will see how the double face fits when it arrives.

                  For example the heavyweight Ballpark joe mccoy crewneck fits tts imho, in RMC Military sweats size up from your usual size as they come slimmer

                  How I wear my heavy Ballpark crewneck small

                  @davito:

                  @Qinhan this is my Ballpark heavyweight small

                          Nice Davito, that looks great! Is that the same fleece as the other Ballpark sweats or is it thicker?

                            @SepticSef thx Sir. Speaking only for joe mccoy Ballpark and comparing the crewneck and after hooded sweat above they fit more or less the same in the same size imho. As said if you choose a Military sweat from RMC collection sizing is usually different and recommended one up from your usual size. If you go for the other sweats i believe they fit tts but i currently own 5 ballparks which i all wear in small. I have a mccoy sweat from years back in a medium but could wear it in a small if i had the chance to buy again, the medium fits me not bad just a bit oversized in shoulders and chest area but its ok. Let me know if you need further help. Its all also depending how you gonna prefer wearing your sweat.

                            Cheers,
                            David

                                Thx man @Jeef , different innerlining see the pic i tried to make. Double face is much warmer and is thicker due to the double loopwheeled cotton. Double face left, crewneck right

                                  That looks toasty. And it fits you perfectly. I already have too many sweatshirts but I am really interested in this one.

                                      Congrats Davito, tried that sweat on the other day at RMC. Really nice. Super thick and warm!

                                      Here is a pic of the new catalog page for that sweat. Another nice vintage photo.

                                            I'm happy to have played a small role in the '15 catalog. It's really a fabulous publication!

                                            I am really loving my n-1 undershirt. I think I'm starting to favor lighter weight and closer fitting mid layer sweats these days, and the n-1 fits the bill perfectly.
