Real McCoy's / Joe McCoy's Jeans

[Niro]

Those look pretty good, apart from that sole. Not a fan of that type of sole

[Aries]

Me too. Actually saw these in person at Godspeed.

Stunning craftsmanship, but I'll never like crepe soles. Just doesn't trigger a response in me at all.

[Iron Horse]

I like the comfort of crepe soles, and to be fair they were created with a specific purpose in mind (walking in mud and marsh and not tracking in so much dirt indoors like a lug would). Then again I like variety in boots and their soles, so I've found something to like about crepes, stacked leather engineer heels, and cork soles and heels alike.

[Max Power]

I also prefer crepe soles, they're so comfortable to walk and I also like the look of them.

BTW, Here's the fit on my McCoys Tee

@mikecch Sorry, forgot to say excellent review! Your reviews are always a good read

[mikecch]

@Niro Thanks man!

[Aries]

Hear hear Niro, always enjoy Mike's reviews.

[mikecch]

@Aries Cheers dude! 

[Aries]

I'm actually picking up some Buco engineer boots from Godspeed, probably this week. I'll be sure to share some photos!

[mikecch]

photos by Godspeed store.

Not on instagram but hope these copy/pastes worked... also @mikecch'S comment cracked me up. Yes indeed sir, we should share a beer soon!

[mikecch]

@Aries Nice pants, and very nice boots mate!

Yeah, might be organising a local meet up soon. I'll check in with you.

[Aries]

Awesome, let me know!

Finally the prewash fit of the 991BK. They're in the machine now. While turning them insideout I saw an interesting blue stain on the selvage.

Waist 92cm

Thigh 34cm

Front rise 28cm

Inseam 89cm

Hem 21,5cm

[Broark]

Measurements look pretty good, depending on how they shrink these could be the black jeans I've been looking for. 

[Aries]

Yeah I have a very well-worn pair of RMC 004s, and a slightly less worn on pair of 991XH and both are, in terms of cut, my favourite jeans. Can't go wrong.

[Max Power]

Here's the postwash (40 degrees,no spin) meeasurements. They shrunk like crazy, but when stretched back out they will be perfect!

Waist 92cm --> 86 cm

Thigh 34cm --> 32 cm

Front rise 28cm --> 26 cm

Inseam 89cm --> 83 cm

Hem 21,5cm --> 20,5 cm

[Niro]

That's shrunk in nicely!

I know you haven't properly worn them in, but do you think you will prefer this fit over the IHxVS777?

[Broark]

Wow, those shrank up a ton. Maybe too much for me to fit into a pair. 

[Foxy2]

much nicer - hope they aren't too short now...

[Max Power]

I'm Pretty sure they will be fine, when the waist stretches back the length will be fine.  So far i think i prefer the mccoy over the ih, but have not worn them enough to really be sure.

[Aries]

An RMC day in London, from top to bottom (asides from the ray bans!).

[Max Power]

After two days the waist stretched back out by 1", which makes the length perfect. I still think 0,5" more in the waist wouldn't hurt (I'm sure that'll come), but so far it is among my favorite fits. I think it could be the first one that is as Slim as possible while still being comfortable. I'm usually too much on the one or other side, but this one nailed it.

Jesus dude you've already been told in other threads you're spamming - this isn't a sales forum, go there if you want to sell stuff.
