The Real McCoys

@Cutlasshound would also be interested to hear your opinion on how the Buco compares to the military inspired alpaca vests?
Cheers.
Sorry old chap for delayed response, not had the opportunity to get back in the office. As soon as i do, will pop and have a look.
From memory, my initial impressions between the two were that:
-
the pile of the lining was a lot longer on the military vest, which means it would probably be warmer. I prefered the aesthetic of the shorter pile on the racing vest and thought it would be more practical for me in terms of layering.
-
the above means that, in my opinion, the racing vest would mean it was more practical for layering under a jacket.
-
I dislike the colour brown (except in leather), so i was naturally drawn to the colour of the lining on the racing vest.
-
generally, i didn't notice any fundamental differences between the two other than the above (and the fact that the military vest comes in different colours)
-
the build quality on both was excellent, as you would expect.
I tried the racing vest on as i have been planning to buy it for months. It is lovely and i would have bought it. However, the sizing is tiny!! Im typically an xl or xxl in IH and even in size 42, i couldnt get close to zipping this up over a IH tshirt, let alone layering something underneath!

Racing vest should be here tomorrow [emoji3]. Now the next item. Looking at the M65 Field Jacket the size Medium chest, length and body measurements look good but I'm worried about the sleeve length. Anyone with a Medium or Large want to take some full sleeve (collar center to cuff) measurements for me?
@veloaudio my m65 size medium: measuring in a straight line from center bottom of collar to end of cuff I get 33.5"; from center of collar to shoulder: 9.75", sleeve: 25.25"; shoulders, straight across: 19.25". Hope that helps,, let me know if you need other measurements. I will say that if the jacket fits you in the chest, it's very unlikely the sleeves would be too short. Its probably safe to go by the sizing guide on the tag. Its a great jacket!

Looks great Matt, I look forward to seeing it later this fall and winter. I have wanted this one for a while but my vest collection is stocked.
Thanks @Anesthetist. I'm looking forward to the vest breaking in a bit.

One of the most over-engineered pieces of clothing I have ever laid eyes on.
Still trying to decide if it's for me or a catch & release. either way, i'm super happy with all my real mccoys goods

@ViktorG hei thanks man
@veloaudio I would ask Lewis from superdenim, Max from the London store or Gordon from the NY store if there is a possibility to get ahold of the Operation collab glasses. Product code for the one I have is EA10001 I believe, I think in Japan they are still to get.
@madmonday fit pic please
