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

I think it’s more a matter of tucking in your shirt with a denim jacket. They’re supposed to be short, but with a shirt sticking out it kinda throws off the fit imo. Granted, I tuck in my t-shirts too so ?‍♂️

Here's a rather academic meditation on the new Buco J-24 (and Japanese repro in general), referred to me by @peachfuzzmcgee, who was in turn referred to it by @StrangeJeremy.

A Note on Tradition and Transmission & Review of The Real McCoy's "Updated Fit"

The Real McCoy’s just released a resized version of the classic Buco J-24 (Stock No. BJ21101). This classic D-pocket or Double Rider jacket...

With all them words, someone should tell the guy that it's FCL "Leon", not "Neon".

I do that if I know I'll be buttoning it up, but I'm less concerned when just adding it more for looks vs warmth

So I actually washed it and stretched it a little. It’s not as loose it the waist as that pic, but it’s got plenty of room. Where the shoulder seam hits on their model is about where it hits me, but I’m broader through the chest. I suppose I could have sized up more but I didn’t want an overly slouchy vibe.

I think it's cool too, it's just so much money for a beach cloth coat. You can buy a vintage one for around the same or less, at times (though in a different cut, admittedly).

I ain't ever buying it because I truly believe it's overpriced for wool and cotton that a billion other brands do a good version of but I do think it's cool looking. I'd probably swing it at 500 and no more

I love that mix of wool and cotton.

It’s definitely the best example I’ve seen of that style, but yeah it’s spendy.
A few friends and I were talking about it on Discord for like 45 minutes today. Can’t swing that, but $1300 on a Dehen N1 seems normal. I don’t even understand how to price things mentally in my head anymore.

I break it down as basically 1-200 I can do that without too much thought, 2-500 is serious consideration, 500-1000 is an absolute love and lust for months, 1000+ super special cases of rarity, pre-orders, sick jawns that my wife will slap me for buying.

this is pretty dead-on for me, too.
