I purposely chose BR over McCoy - I'm based in NYC and McCoy is easily available from a number of retailers. I actually prefer the more 'mottled' appearance of the BR knit, that was my reason for choosing it. Also, having tried on some variations of the RMcC sweats, I didn't like the boxy fit - having read the description of the BR on HPA, I thought the revised fit would be more suitable.

Just for clarity, the BR arrived today. It looks fantastic with a tucked in shirt/shorter oxfords and trousers that are worn closer to the waste. It's slightly too short to wear with longer cut oxfords (e.g. Thom Browne) and trousers I tend to wear lower on the hips (e.g. short rise jeans).

Sorry, I'm not quite sure I follow. I can understand perhaps it stretching out in the shoulders, but not in length? How would one achieve this? I'm also hesitant, as it will most likely shrink in the wash? My concern also with it stretching in the shoulders is that this will also have an effect of stretching out the neck.

any further opinions on the 'revised fit' sweatshirts? I ordered one through HPA - they recommended I go with a medium (6ft, 40" chest) - it's a little on the short side, and the shoulders a little too narrow.

Concerned if I size up, the neck will be too wide to sit nicely with an oxford shirt. It's just about right on the medium - although I do wonder if the tightness of the shoulders is causing my natural shoulder to 'pull' the shoulder seems out, stretching the neck. I'm a 16" neck - don't know if anyone of similar stature can offer advice!

@mclaincausey:

Holy cow that seems steep for a nylon windbreaker.

Yeah… I haven't quite worked out why it's so high, either!

Hi guys - I haven't seen this mentioned here, but has anyone tried on the antifreeze jacket and can comment on sizing? The measurements on the McCoys website seem strange - the shoulder measurements seem very narrow with regard to the chest measurements.

Any more detailed information on sizing (width of arms etc) would be much appreciated!
