NEED ADVICE: Iron Heart Deck Jacket Vs. Real McCoys Deck Jacket

I've never seen the RMC in person but I had a Pike Brothers and a Bronson and then the Iron Heart.

I prefer the 'authentic stylings' of all the others but for wearability the Iron Heart won me over and I sold the others.

I like the extra pockets and one other big thing for me is that the Iron Heart deck jacket it isn't as warm as either the Bronson or the Pike Brothers, the body lining seems a little thinner and the sleeves are not heavily lined, so I get to wear it for more of the winter. Its still a warm jacket - but I do need to layer under it when its cold where as the others were super warm all the time.

I do find the IH jacket can feel a bit long, its good for that as it keeps the wind out so again is better as a cold weather jacket but it doesn't quite hit the authentic deck jacket look because of that.
