@davito:

Soon, excited

WOW that did catch me by surprise! Real dangerous store to have within a 30 min commute. Thanks for the heads-up @davito. Not sure if I should feel positive ecstatic or deeply concerned about this - both actually :I

@davito  , mate, that A-2 is the best.

Vest action for me today:

[davito]

@zatenm its gonna be great and the Army Gym nigel cabourn store right on the other side, awesome

@Qinhan thanks my man. Fantastic vest thinking about this too, do you wear a 38 in it? Will pm you soon, sorry delay

[madmonday]

Qinhan that vest is something else.  Great score. i love these folks plan for world domination. oh & I find their sweatshirts are the best I've ever bought from any brand. Speaking of which i need to get another grey crewneck . . .

I just grabbed a McCoys 10oz grey crewneck. I love the fit and the raglan sleeves and can't wait to start wearing it when the weather turns colder (I keep telling myself it will happen soon). The Real McCoys Nagoya service was super quick btw… Arrived in HK only two days after payment.

Off to the RMC S/S 15 exhibition tomorrow!

[Qinhan]

^  Wow.  Very envious.  Would love to see some photos if that's possible. 

[Chiba J.]

Sorry. Top secret event, no photos.

[davito]

Cool @Chiba J. Enjoy

Nice pick up @Sugar Mountain

@Chiba:

Sorry. Top secret event, no photos.

So we are expecting some very detailed descriptions!!

Enjoy J.!

[Chiba J.]

I'll definitely report back (if I'm allowed to).

[Qinhan]

^ I'm particularly interested in outerwear and leather jackets (as you well know)

[mclaincausey]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the MacGregor Antifreeze if they have it. That is one costly (though classic) windbreaker.

[Qinhan]

^  I tried that one on last time I was in Japan.  Had to size up one IIRC.  Looked pretty cool but it was hard to justify the price tag considering it was made entirely from artificial fibres.

[Chiba J.]

Also, Made in the US of A. Nothing against that, but I didn't realize that RMC has USA production?

[mclaincausey]

Yeah. I expect this to be a licensing issue or a double tariff or something. This is made by the original maker, RMC doesn't own the production. Which doubtless inflates the cost a lot b

[Chiba J.]

They had the McGregor Antifreeze there, but it was not my thing to be honest.

[Qinhan]

You tease… What about everything else?

[Chiba J.]

The new items that really stood out for me were….

The white dobby stripe and indigo wabash bib shirts with band collars.

And the three piece (four piece if you include matching casquette) linen suits in white and in over-dyed black.

[Chiba J.]

Finally got some RMC gear in my wardrobe.

USN deck sweater, N-1 Undershirt and Fisherman's Rib Knit Cap (the USN chambray is also a new acquisition, but from Warehouse, the RMC chambray just didn't quite fit me and my non-Asian body)
