great look davito; that jacket is also on my to buy list; perhaps this winter…
any suggestions for sizing the lot004? measurements on BIG look big! I'd need to size down to a 28 since these are sanforised (actual waist size about 30" but always buy jeans that shrink to 29" after wash).
-
Slab i wear a 29 in the lot 004 usually i am a 30 in other jeans. Going down 1 or 2 is the way to go in mccoy jeans. Lost some weight recently could prob do a 28 too. I actually like the fit on my size 29 though. Jeans will shrink in length after a wash and a bit in waist but stretch out again. Think you'll be fine in a 28 if you checked big measurements, they are accurate. Let me know if you need more info.

RMC Car Coat
Fits like a 2nd skin… I had several jackets from mostly leading jacket manufacturer these days, but funny thing is, I only had/have this kind of feeling on Jackets made from Shinki HH.
Has someone same experience...!?

RMC A2 House Style
Same here, fits like a 2nd skin…
(not only about narrow cut).
-
thanks davito; guess i'll need the 28 then, unfortunately vintage only has from size 29.
58panheadfan, jackets are looking great!
-
@58panheadfan awesome jackets my friend, agree with you about 2nd skin, superb

Yep! Same with me. I always get better fits out of the high end Japanese repros such as RMC and steer away from the custom made brands.

LOVE the C-2.
-
Damn, I really like that. How is the feel of the wool?
-
Thanks boys,
the wool is mildly scratchy. Superdenim says it's Merino, and maybe it is, but in past experience Merino has been softer for me. Perhaps that has to do with processing though.
It sounds like I'm complaining, but I'm not, I love the knit; it has a wonderful texture and character and I think it will age extremely well. I am wearing a 40 in the picture and I couldn't be happier with the fit. I wear Medium or Large in Iron Heart shirting, Medium in the Tees. It fits over shirting like the IHSH-35 pictured and under a snug A-2–the raglan construction is perfect for that.
The Talon bell zipper is exactly the same one they used in my A-2. As you can see the ribbing is cool looking too. I cannot recommend this enough. I got this one for $300, which IMO is a steal.
-
$300? Second hand or new?
-
I have no clue why those engineers are so much… 1750 is fucking insane. and those aren't even the cordovan versions!
-
Second hand, but impossible to tell, had the bag but not the tags.
