Real McCoy's / Joe McCoy's Jeans

[whozdrew?]

I was at the Osaka store in Horie this past weekend and picked up a pair of 991XHs by Joe McCoy.

Amazing fit, Beautiful fit. All around great pair.

NICE!

Looking to pick up a pair of regular 991 once BiG gets a restock, how much heavier are these? Have any fit pics? How did you size? Thanks in advance

whats the fit on those 991? theyre superslim right?

considering how mainstream "slim" cuts are becoming wouldn't call these "SUPERslim" but they are def slimmer than their 906s. I like it, not too tight but snug.

The 991XH are cut from the heavier ounce fabric that the Real McCoys have used several times on previous models, but a first for the 991 cut. The fabric is different from the regular 991s, in that they are 14.75oz. selvedge denim.

I normally wear a size 32 or even 33 in One Wash models, but these running larger than tagged and given that I purchased the raw version, I picked them up in a size 30 for a great fit.

Just like shinobi2000 said, "not too tight but snug", they are slim but not too slim and slightly tapered but nothing drastic.

ed, i would think that they are slimmer than what you would usually like. the rise is also lower on this...

[whozdrew?]

I'm assuming that there is absolutely no possibility of picking the XH model up in the states..

[coleslawyum]

Blue In Green has them both.

[whozdrew?]

Maybe I'm blind but I'm unable to find the XH on the site

[whackedout]

Thats because it isn't out yet on BiG. End of December/ Early January

Just received it two days ago from big. To those who are curious about the lot 002 and XH fabric..

The Real McCoy's Lot.002

Just like we all know, mccoy is definitely one of few specialist in making repo items. Be it military repo, workwear, sportswear, or any other vintage inspired items. Based on a trustworthy source, the rmc lot 002 use the 1950s straight cut in a slight slimmer version. The weight itself is 14 3/4oz, which is I think it's best for our climate.

When I first opened the package, the smell was the first thing that caught my attention. Believe it or not, the McCoy Original XH denim smells and feels different than any other denim. On top of that, the construction of the denim is totally something you will love it. They really pay attention to details. Lots of curve, cut threads, basically imperfections. They want us to feel like how it was to be in the past. You might find these exaggerating, but I'm telling you the truth! Lets cut the talking and it's time for some pictures!!

5 dirty buttons that seem to have already oxidized with the engraved mccoy label. It's a plus point for me tho..

peeakabooo dan copper rivets.

union tag

Curve. and also look carefully and notice the bump on the back pocket guys!

Offset belt loop. Oversize backpocket.

Curve on yoke stitching.

hair on hide patch. Awesome, really. the best part is they even put an effort to make the shadow as for the logo to not look so plain.

[roeyroeyy]

pocket construction with rivets.

hideen rivets. RMO S A TEX : Real McCoy Overalls San Antonio Texas, i believe?

It's another details that I stupidly missed. I really didn't know mccoy pay attention to such details. I unknowingly asked Gordon to hem before he shipped it. Above after hem, bottom before hem.

The XH fabric itself is totally different from my Samurai. It's regular and not so hairy.

orignal xh - s5000vx

TTS / SDO. any of these will definitely do because it shrinks to tag size. To those who still don't feel comfortable with straight cut jeans, you can choose to down 2 size but bear in mind the thigh and waist shrinkage.

Thank you for reading! Please feel free to correct or add any information that you would like to share!

Great job documenting the details on these lesser known jeans, although it looks like you could have taken off at least another 2 inches on the inseam.

I love everything about the Lot 002, except the rise is a little too high for my liking.

[SLAB]

beautiful pair of denim; personally I would have shortened the inseam more but still looks good. Can u post a picture with the jeans cuffed?

[Double 0 Soul]

Thought i would compile the full 2013 McCoys denim range, Pretty sure i have it all but feel free to add to it.

the 003 is described as a WWII cut but the 004 has the WWII details (from what I see: no rivets on coin pocket and donut buttons)...strange...

Very well spotted there Mr. FrEaK, You are indeed correct. The McCoys YearBook has the images the wrong way around, Shhhhh! dont tell anybody! us westerners will never know the differance.

Lot.003 should be the image with donut buttons and without coin pocket rivet. Lot.004 has the coin pocket rivet.

[Double 0 Soul]

Any Better?
