I think it is a cool piece. The Flat Head has also done some similar pieces. I don't know that I could pull any of them off, but they are cool.

I love pieces like that, but I always have to remind myself that the plainest items in my wardrobe get the most wear because of their versatility. An eye-catching pattern like that is not something I would rock every day. Especially with a jacket, I want to be able to wear it with every outfit, every day, if I feel like it.

I've been now looking for Buco or Toys McCoy Beck's boots or the real mccoys working boots but they've seem to only have up to 11 us size, anybody knows if they make 11uk/12 us size???, I searched hundreds of places mostly in japanese sites but found no answers, your help is appreciated.

I wear a US size 12 in most all sneakers. I wear a 10.5 in Viberg 110 and 2045 last boots. The McCoy size 11 N-1 field boots were at least a half size too big for me. From what I gather, they run a little bit big. It seems that I would take an 11 in the Bear Head boots. I hope that helps.

I was lucky to pick this up on sale at burg und schild yesterday. Been lusting for them for years now. I dont regret a bit.
Might be my most worn piece of clothing.

@Max Power I will be stopping in at Burg and schild when I am in Berlin from June 28 to July 2 2018.

@twin you definitively should. And have a coffee at father carpenter nearby.

@Max Power I definitively will stop at both places and try them out

Any of you own the N1 deck jacket? Curious why the hand warmer pockets sit so high on the jacket? I know RMC is a repro brand so maybe this had a practical use in the navy but I don't know what that is
Seems like the pockets should sit lower to my eyes -

Does anyone own a RMs 1st pattern M65? I'm torn between waiting for the new IH iteration, Buzz Ricksons, and the Real Mccoys. At almost £200 More than the IH and BR, is the RC really as great as on line reviews say? It is the only version that I've physically held in my hand.
I've only owned a made in USA alpha industries version before (about 4 of them over the years, including a 1968 original).

Anyone have one of the RMC down vests? I am looking at the nylon down vests (https://www.realmccoyslondon.com/us/joe-mccoy-66-nylon-down-vest-navy.html) but am unsure on sizing… I normally wear L in IH work shirts and XL in Westerns... based on the RMC measurements I think I am either a 40 or 42... how do you guys usually size RMC vs IH for tops?
Thanks!

All I can say is that the IH cotton ones are very substantial. RMC seeks to replicate the original, which was a mass-produced item procured on a taxpayer-funded budget. Based on the images, the fabric looks to me to be a bit lighter weight, but that's based on how it drapes and how military issued M65s are. I would suspect that the RMC variant is fairly close to Alpha overall, with greater attention to quality.
If it were me, I'd go IH because I'd want it to be a bit more overbuilt and am not especially concerned about authenticity. Loved mine and regret having sold it from time to time. I say this as someone who cherishes his RMC flight and deck jackets.
