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

Wow what an increase. I have never owned anything from BR, but my initial impression was that make nice items, but TRM was considered better?

I vastly prefer the BR crewneck loopwheel sweatshirts over RMC, which are too short. Favorite crewneck by far and a great value if you can buy in Japan.

Wow, yeah everything is an easy pass on this RMC F/W season.

Yeah this was really disappointing, however the photographer's jacket is stunning. Why they keep regurgitating designs they *just* came out with is beyond me. The B-15c just came out two years ago!

It’s really boring. Just meh

Satin J24 and natural indigo stuff are interesting. Also glad to see printed moleskin and wabash coming back.

Was really hoping for some newer/unexplored stuff by RMC, all feels very familiar. I was say, however, the Warhol jackets are cool.

It's a shame, because I've been looking forward to their FW collection for months.. always love their take on classics.

Side question, are there any store like Hinoya that are easy to deal with and ship to the UK? Who obviously carry multiple Americana brands?

That satin J24 is badass, looks like the crewneck sweats are redesigned as well, very nice to see saxe back in the collection.

Does it say the crewneck are redesigned?

The labels are different and you can see in the photos the rib knits are different, the black finally has colour-matched thread too.

Yeah the only thing that stood out is the black thread. I hope they added length. They’re too short on me.

 

[Jerkstore]

Err, size? Maybe even photos?

Late but here you all go

Size large

PM for more. It won’t let me post more than 1

What are we preferring for chambray shirts? I’m liking the Buzz Rickson one, however I feel like I’m sitting smack dab between a L and XL—large for the chest, XL for the sleeve length.

I feel like chambray shirts look best with extra room in the chest and sleeves, so I would go with an XL.

Also they tend to shrink in length (though it does take a while).
