I noticed the preview says delivery will be between March and July. Normally it’s March to October and October to March for the FW. So the shortened season may be affecting collection size. 🤷‍♂️

They also seemed to omit these flannels from the preview. What a weird collection. Very few items actually seem new.

The Real McCoys preview is up. Kinda boring and stuff we’d seen before.

Agree. I do like the new version of the roughout type III - boxier fit and colour looks truer to vintage ones. I could see some people preferring the older version though.

I know we've mentioned TCB Jeans here in the past but I just noticed they are now being carried by Williamsburg Garment Co. It's a tiny selection but it's nice to see them here in the U.S. I've got a pair of their "50's Jeans" and think they're probably about the best value in terms of Japanese selvedge denim.

I've wanted to try one of their denim jackets but have always been worried about the sizing and then possibly dealing with the hassle of sending it back to Japan. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if they start offering those at Williamsburg too.

I've been really thinking of grabbing a pair of 50s. The only thing that throws me is that often when I see images of them, there is a decent amount of excess material around the crotch. Do you find that settles in after wear/wash?

I’ve got an absolutely massive hog, Hunter Biden style, so it works well for me!








Honestly, never noticed an excessive amount of fabric there. If there ever was, it’s not anywhere near as noticeable now that they’ve been washed and worn a bunch.

Mine still do this a bit even after 3.5yrs of wear lol. I don't think it looks too bad in person when you're actually moving around in them vs static photo. The amount of leg twist they get might also contribute to it? I dunno.

I just put an order in for Sugar Cane "super denim collectibles" 1946 model which hopefully will be good (and fit...) They have some CSF style quirky imperfect stitching:laugh:

Does anyone have any sizing information on the RMC A2 (model 220/MJ22001) jacket? Trying to figure out sizing between a 44 and 46

I wear a 46 in the flat head delraiser of any help much help. Some places say they run true to size but from what I roughly know about RMC is that they run small/jp sizing

New models (e.g. 220 and others introduced in 2022/2023) are true to size by western standards as they are significantly larger than previous corresponding models with the same size number.

measurements on their site should be accurate

Thank you! Was just a bit confusing as different sites have a bit of a variance in measurement.
