Real McCoy's J24 (I should have a couple in 46 this fall)

Easy there...

Just looked up the J31 -- looks pretty wild.

How do you size the J24? If you are a size 42 in the RMC Nelson and a size 44 in the Buco J-100, what would you take in the J24?

J24 - I'd go 42 for a rocker/t-shirt only fit, and a 44 if you're going to zip it up / wear it on the bike fit.

I'd got with Gen's detailed notes on the subject, which I guess I never shared in full:

"Here are the main differences between the J-24 and J-24L:

J-24:

• Runs small
• Standard shoulder width
• Diamond zipper pulls
• No back yoke
• Shorter back length / square kidney panel
• Not compatible with mouton collar option
• Shorter sleeve length

J-24L:

• Runs true to size
• Narrow shoulder width
• Standard pull
• Western back yoke
• Longer back length / rounded kidney panel
• Removable mouton collar option
• Longer sleeve

Now from personal experience with handling both of these jackets, I can honestly say that the difference in body and sleeve length should not be something to be fixed on since once jacket runs smaller and therefore requiring a size up resulting in pretty much the same body and sleeve length, if not marginal difference. With that said, this info will soon be obsolete as the fleet of J-24's that we are expecting to receive this Fall/Winter will be a newer edition of this model as the fit will be completely different with slight tweaks to aesthetic detail.

It isn't in our grand designs to restock the J-24L in the near future as The Real McCoy's will not be producing this model this year, best guess is POSSIBLY Fall/Winter '22. This is because the new edition of the J-24 will now be compatible with a removable mouton collar option that will be sold separately. We're currently sold out of the older edition J-24 and I'd typically offer for us to special order but they have discontinued this edition."

He noted the new J-24 is expected to be larger than the current and "closer to the original".

Alright, here is my takes on Marvel Phase IV so far:
1) Wandavision - OMG so good. You mix horro and sitcoms and superheroes, and throw in both Randall Park, and you've got yourself an Emmy. Stick those episodes together, and you've got yourself a Golden Globe, at least. An best supporting actor for Agent Wu.

Wandavision is awesome and Agent Wu cracked me up in every scene he was in. Quality viewing.

His magic skills are really improving too! Such a fun side character! Love Randall Park.

Agree with everyone else the Delraiser looks great

Tbh I don’t remember the date at all except he kept trying to put a Christian Bale mask on me “just for fun.”

pics or it didn’t happen

OK internet compadres, help - FCL Leon Custom, TFH Delraiser, or neither (and I should look into another brand)? How is the fit? I don’t wear my jackets zipped up, but did so for fit purposes. And I wear my tees untucked. Both are “my size” as in, I can’t size down (and these are both a size 46)

I think they both look great. They give off different vibes, but they equally work on you.

Vibewise, the FCL says "Hi, I'm here to pick up your daughter for our totally above-board date" while the Delraiser says "I'm here to **** your wife. And your daughter."

The delraiser looks incredible every time I see it. I think the popular thing right now is to buy anything FCL makes, but the Delraiser has so much more character. Cut looks better on you too

 

[bry2000]

Delraiser > anything from FCL. YMMV.

I got one of these a while back and this one is still available on Ebay. I had the epaulets and the pocket flap removed and to me this is just about a perfect jacket. 3500 retail.

Delraiser is too short FYI

 

[whorishconsumer]

Does “FYI” apply to opinions

 

[XWT]

Delraiser is too short FYI

It’s a short jacket for dorks like me who tuck in their tees but I disagree it’s too short. If anything I think the Fine Creek one was much too long.

 

[dieworkwear]

I like the fit of the Delraiser better. Especially across your shoulders. Gives you a nice T-shape, whereas the other one makes your shoulders look rounder.

Are you a dork who tuck in his tees too?

Sometimes I do. Depends on the shirt + jacket combo.

If I was the OP and wearing that specific jacket and t-shirt, I wouldn't feel the need to tuck it in. It looks a bit long when the jacket is zipped up, but fine when the jacket is open. A bit of overhang doesn't bother me.
