Japanese A-2s

Next trip to Japan I’ll have time to stop by one place to try on an A-2: either Hinoya in Ueno to try a Buzz Rickson, or The Real McCoy’s shop in Shibuya to try on their jacket.

If I can only make one stop, which should I check out?

The Real McCoy’s is a tiny bit less expensive, but they only have one model, and I can’t get Sugarcane jeans there. But if it’s better, perhaps I’ll forego the jeans…

Junky Special in Shinjuku has a similar or even bigger selection of Buzz/Sugarcane (Toyo) than Hinoya and is a lot closer to TRM. If by a 'better' A2 you mean more accurate/higher quality I'd forego the Japanese efforts and get in line for a Goodwear.
