The Japanese Repro Clothing Thread (Real McCoys, Freewheelers, Etc.)

You’re likely gonna be between sizes, 36 is gonna feel ok in the chest/shoulders with a shorter body/sleeves and 38 is gonna be better lengthwise but roomy in the chest, gl.

Thanks!

I've been delaying singing praises of my Iron Heart N-1 as I wanted to wear it for awhile first. Initial thoughts are that it's been fairly effective over an UHF during this freeze we have going on in NYC. Arm length is a bit of an annoyance, but I'm hoping creasing will help that with time. Definitely quality construction and materials. I was worried that by going for a full alpaca lining I would be overheating, but it's proved great for this below-30 F weather.

Sizing wise, I landed somewhere between large and undersized (so, Goldilocks, I guess). It's a bit snug with an UHF and thick Wonderlooper T underneath, but arm movement is still ok. I had them install a paracord drawstring at the waist which was unnecessary given the snugness at the hem.

My recent deck jacket I got is 100% Alpaca and I vastly prefer it to the 50/50 wool/alpaca blend in my RMC N-1. Both are about the same in terms of warmth imo, but the pure alpaca has a much nicer hand to it than the blend does.

I was a bit worried about the N1 being too heavy but we get a pretty good temp range in NorCal. It'll be in the low 40s in the morning of a 60 degree day so I been gettin a lot of wear out of mine.

Real McCoys preview is up. Def a larger collection than the last few, but boring overall.

The Real McCoy's collection preview is up and it's a pretty big dud. Mostly just restocks of things that had sold out. Odd timing of this as well since a number of things from last Fall's collection still haven't been released yet. They also must be experiencing delays in production as I preordered an aviator's kit bag from Celluloid back in September and they said it might not arrive until May or even June!

Sharing the same sentiments. Nothing noteworthy for S/S25 which is par for course for RMC. I am hoping for a restock of loopwheel tees however as I’m finding theirs just for the best for me overall from all the brands I’ve tried.

It's crazy that Japanese denim is at $400-450 a pair in the US.

That said, noticing RMC is expanding their waist size to 38, which might work for me.
