Real McCoys fell off?

[Tom71]

Being quite new to the game and having zero interest in RMC due to the price, I'm curious how much were their products back in the day for several of you to highlight how much the price increased? Even in Classifieds nowadays when something from them shows up is easily close to 2k USD.

In Europe the price has increased by almost exactly 30% in the last 12-15 months.

They do seem to hold their value really well on the japanese second hand market.

Does that make them more special / interesting?

That said, I find when purchasing from manufacturers that have kind of a single purpose, the old saying “you get what you pay for” often still rings true.

Like or dislike RMC, this isn’t them. They’re basically a full line heritage fashion brand; think RL but on a smaller scale. From underwear to t-shirts to jeans to repro prison uniforms to belts to hoodies to leather jackets and so on.

Trends and options.

They're still at the top of the game but their stuff costs a lot, too.

Plus there's nothing you can do to make your product stand out from the competition if you are making copies of existing jackets. Affordability while maintaining the same standards is literally everything any of these makers has at this point.
