Real McQueen, RMJ, RMNZ, The Few... highlights on the different brands

[John Lever]

Incorrect sorry, RMNZ moved some machines to The Philippines to fulfill outstanding orders placed prior to winding down in 2015. I have this stated as a fact by Paddy at RMNZ, also by Massa the owner. Bevan Davdson (Bristolherc) is a person friend of Massa, also told me this as a fact.
This is all interesting but....has anyone seen a Real McQueen jacket with a made in NZ ?

 

[John Lever]

OK...
I have asked the owner of Gorilla Tokyo, also the owner of Standard Workwear and Bevan Davidson...who was closely associated with RMNZ.

Bevan aka Bristolherc never saw any McQueen labelled jackets when was closely associated with the factory in Christchurch NZ.

I worked with Paddy to have a custom McQueen RW made with goatskin. The hide used was not supple. Later moved it on.

Ah. So they were produced by RMNZ. Did she mention what the significance of that particular line was? I know there was a difference between the standard RMNZ and the FEW line.

No made in NZ anywhere on this jacket.
IMO RMNZ made some of the finest sheepskin jackets ever seen.
