The Real McCoys

How would those compare to Sugar Canes Okinawas or to Momotaros or to Pure Blue Japan of similar weight fabric???

Can only compare to Sugar Cane - but prefer the McCoys for handle

Weight is probably close to 16oz post soak (given it's just a density thing)

SC denim is one of the nicest within the 13 - 15 oz range…McCoys are okay, but I think the Cane denim has more character

+1 I'm a big fan of the SC denim, the natural indigo denims fade nicely too.

Thanks for your post! It was me who asked you for the pics. Looking good!
I read somewhere that the McCoy denim is similar to the Denime denim. The Denime XX denim is my favorite in the 13-15oz range

The Joe Mccoy Jeans have three series, just use the 905 as an example, they r 905, 905xh and s905xh. 905 and 906 r only the basic denim from Joe Mccoy. And yes, the Joe McCoy denim is similar to the Denime denim. But in my opinion the S( )XH denim from JM r simply the best denim in the 13-15 range.

god, i think the 906's will probably be my summer purchase they look to nice

Reviving an old thread here but I have The Real McCoy's Pea Coat as my winter coat. It's cut a couple of inches longer than the Buzz Rickson one which makes a big difference as I can wear it over a suit jacket without the suit jacket showing at all (which unfortunately it did when I tried on the Buzz Rickson).

The Real McCoys one is 37oz dual layer melton wool, weighs a ton but has an absolutely beautiful cut. Some cool touches too like corduroy lined pockets.

But the king of the hill in the 13-15 category has got to be the Pure Blue Japan. Got myself one while in Tokyo and it is freaking nice. Almost like the 002 in terms of fabric irregularities and … shit, whats the term already?

Ok, ready for the NY winter:

that's a real nice peacoat.

in terms of size do you think its worth sizing up?

i'm a 38 in a blazer but i find with some japanese brands i need to go for large rather than a medium.

this is certainly true of buzz rickson sweats.

i've just ordered a real mccoy hoody in red but i'm deeply craving the pea coat and can only track it down in a 40.

should i take the plunge?

all advice gratefully received.

if the measurements are fine…go for it!

Given that you will be wearing winter layers under the peacoat, a little extra space would surely be fine. Strange time of year to be buying one though, unless you are living in New Zealand or something…
