The Real McCoy’s Wool Stripe Open Collar Shirt is a beautifully realised slice of repro-Americana. Not solely in terms of its classically boxy and open fit, but also thanks to its period-accurate double cloth wool. Thick wool yarns are double woven on old Schoenherr looms at minimal speeds and with very little tension. These looms are a growing rarity in garment production, scarcely seen outside of museum exhibitions. They produce very little fabric - less than fifteen metres on a good day. What little fabric they produce is of an exceptional, almost handwoven character. The Real McCoy’s put these rare machines to work to create a rich tapestry of deep browns and burnt oranges offset with shocks of natural white and rendered with a beautiful three-dimensionality. This is then cut to a ‘50s-style, open-collar shirt with a straight hem. Rounded out with urea cats-eye buttons and traditional cotton thread constructional stitching throughout.
Elliot wears a Medium shirt. He is 185cm tall and weighs 74kg / 6ft 1" and 163 lbs.
