    Damn just read about the history and story of the brand and I think I need that timemachine pair now.  I feel bad that didn't know shit about this brand before :( 

    What size are you? We're still holding a few pair of OAO2XX in time machine.

    What type of denim is the #43? I might be interested....

    The #43 was on the OA world tour denim. It's dense and flat. One warning - the fabric does have minor runs and imperfections in it (see attached photos).

    For everyone who is interested, get at me on email - jeremy AT standardandstrange.com, and we'll get sizing squared away. There's 11-12 pr total up for grabs, and I'll pull the trigger when they're all accounted for.

    Yes, those are custom toe-bumpers, you are correct


    The Real McCoy's
    Military Canvas Training Shoes

    There’s a proliferation of made-in-Japan vulcanized sneakers lately, but most are being made up from stock components with a new label slapped on. 

    The Real McCoy’s once again steps above the fray, and produces a perfect example of what appears to be a very simple product on the outside with their Military Canvas Training Shoe in natural, black, and olive canvas.

    While these aren’t an exact reproduction of any particular military sneaker from the mid-20th century, they pull influences from those, along with styling cues from early Converse and Keds (among others). One touch is the date stamped inside the tongue - “18 DECEMBER 1944” - which is the day when Douglas MacArthur was made a five-star general in the US Army.

    Every aspect of these sneakers is carefully considered, and custom for The Real McCoy’s, starting with the last. The toe bumpers, foxing, and outsole are all made from custom molds, and the canvas upper is woven just for these sneakers, delivering a sneaker that could be deadstock from an earlier time.

    @Iron Horse

    Which is a shame, his denim and duck garments were fantastic.

    Not really feeling the new brand, I'm sad to say - none of the pieces released so far have caught my eye like the older Rising Sun or Stevenson's stuff had. 

    If you spend some time hanging out with the pieces, you might change your mind. Everything is very subtle, but definitively made by Mike. It is definitely not a line for pure denim-heads but there's a lot going on there for folks who look closely at other areas of men's apparel throughout the 20th century.

    We did talk about this a few pages back. The 105 is a regular fit, the 107 a tapered fit. The two jeans are almost identical, except for past the knee, where it is a full leg for the 105 and the tapered leg for the 107.

    The official Orslow measurements for waist Size 4 are 35". A lot of stores say they are a 34" probably so as not to confuse customers. Also, the thigh and rise measurements are a little small for western guys who wear a 34" so a size 4 would fit better than a size 3 even though the size 3 is a 34" waist. I'm assuming the Burea has taken this into account 

    I measured the thigh and hem using the BIG method. I'm not sure how The Burea has measured. I'm happy to concede that my measurements are out a little. It is never an exact science measuring denim. 

    If you have any other questions always happy to help.

    The 107 is one of our favorite jeans in the shop now, and we're well acquainted with the fit. If anyone has questions on fit/shrink, hit us up. Always happy to help.

    I'm generally a 36 in most jeans but I went up two sizes to a 38 in both pairs of jeans from Ooe and I'm happy I did. Like others have mentioned, the waist stretches out quite easily but the rest of the leg won't. Also, I find that my pair with the standard OA denim fit a bit slimmer than the 17 fabric.

    I hope I can get some more Ooe jeans in the future in different fabrics. Oh how I wish they still offered the custom program! I don't think I'd need to buy jeans from anyone else.

    Funny you should mention different fabrics, because on our last visit with OA, we determined that there's enough #43 left for about a dozen pairs. We're going to run them in the OA01 fit for something different than the 02s we've been running for the last couple year.

    Who wants in?

    Seriously considering the Buco J-24 leather biker jacket. Anyone own this jacket can speak to its quality, sizing, and most importantly, is it worth the price i.e. would you buy it again? I have the RMC M-65 in a size medium.

    I'm marginally biased here - we don't stock the regular J-24, but the J-24L was what put us over the top on picking up The Real McCoy's. 

    Quality - I haven't seen anything better, or more carefully executed on, and the leather isn't like anything anyone else is using.

    Sizing - buy your chest size in the J-24L for the rock-star fit. Unsure on the regular one - seems about the same from trying on in JP.

    Value - 100% - We've sold a ton of these, and everyone has been so happy with them.

    mccoys fans.  i need some help on sizing on the n1 deck jacket.  i really hope you can help me sorting out what size to get in either the navy or khaki deck jacket.  is it true also that the navy fits differently than the khaki version?  i am talking about the non stencil versions.

    i am thinking of a size 40.  my chest size is give or take around 40 inches in circumference.  maybe the 40 is a slimmer fit and then the 42 will allow me to fit other layers underneath it?  i just hope that the sleeves length is not too long if i get the 42. 

     

    any help is appreciated!!!!

    We found that the khaki and navy fit very, very close to each other after putting them quite a number of people.

    40 will be a slim fit, 42 will allow layering.

    I machine washed the OYxSS collabo jeans for the first time yesterday (they have been soaked twice before). Shrinkage was minimal, seems they got most of it out with the first wash. Not that much to see yet, but man, I really love these jeans.

    (I tripped while hiking and put the knee down on a rock.)

    Those look incredible. I love their denim so much.

    Anyone know if Ooe will be returning to selling direct on their website this year? Worked out a lot cheaper than colab pairs. 

    Likely no - they're overwhelmingly busy with their wholesale partners right now.

    Resolution is blotchy due to low lighting/iPhone camera, but this is the most accurate picture of my pair, color-wise. Also, just wanted to say I appreciate this amount of "saggy butt" on jeans; not a big fan of super tight butt hugging, so I'll take the diaper effect all day over skinny jeans and downsizing

    These look great!

    Also, we've got denim repair services, now, so if anyone blows up their contest jeans, let us know, and we can get it done for a reasonable rate.
