The Real McCoys

@gaseousclay:

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

We sold out of the N-1 Deck Jacket a few months back, not before I grabbed one of them for myself in Size 40.
It's probably my favourite jacket ever and I agree the pockets look a little high in photos but they're super comfortable and your arms just sorta hang there. One of my best friends found a deadstock USN issue jacket complete with unopened cigarettes and matches a few years back. The Mc Coy's version is definitely insanely accurate as a repro, as everything they do is, the one noticeable difference for me is the Alapca lining / collar on the Mc Coy's version is much more comfortable.

@tangfj:

Thanks guys.  Got a size 40 from S&S… kind of fits like a glove on me.  Might be a little bit too small?

I might try a size 42 to see if it fits any better.  Looks like Frans Boone in the Netherlands may have one in stock from my searches... anyone ever bought from them before?

Looks perfect to me! Are you still wearing the 40 or did you go with the 42?

@Max:

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

Great breakfast spot.

Also check out Five Elephant and my favourite, Camon in Kreuzberg / Neukolln area!

@Max Power me and the family had brunch in Father Carpenter on our recent trip to Berlin.. very tasty indeed!!

@chiverus cool, happy to hear that.
Meanwhile, heres an update of my most worn pair in the last months. 991bk

@Max Power looks awesome! what IH model would you say the 991BK are similar too?

[Max Power]

@futura thanks! I guess the 633. They have a medium rise, rather large thighs, nice but not drastic taper. A good 60s cut imo.

I bought one of my grail items yesterday at Real McCoy's London store, a model 1 M65. I've given it one wash, and hope to get some pics up by the weekend.

I've always loved M65s, but the 2nd model epaulettes aren't great as I often carry a shoulder bag or rucksack. The absence on this jacket make it perfect.

@Giles Thanks for the correction…I definitely did not want ski pants to be a feature of an M65

[Max Power]

Finally I got the olive muffler. I've been looking for one for years.

That looks really nice Flo and goes well with the leather jacket  8).

[Max Power]

Thanks @bryaneidins
I already had the navy muffler for years and it's  damn comfy and warm, but I wanted something that goes with black leather. I also have an olive Toys McCoys scarf but it is way shorter and scratchy, so this one is the real deal.

That jacket suits you fantastic @Max Power

[beautiful_FrEaK]

[chiverus]
