[jubei]

do a little legwork and use the search functions for those terms. 2000db is a forum member who is in Japan and is offering to buy Japanese products for other members.

You're welcome

[Ahlvahroe]

unnecessary bump, i saw these while doing random searches. http://denim-gallery.heavy.jp/the-realmccoys_joemccoy/901z.html

so bad ass, now i know why zk has hella pairs.

[hype_killz]

what kind of fit is the 614? i'm looking for a fit close to a 47 repro, maybe even a little less slim. what would be my best option?

it's 66, mid-rise and tapering legs, so its a bit slimmer than 47.

[hype_killz]

so which model would be closest to a 47 cut, or a little less slim than 47

[hysteric]

can someone post some rakuten links, im haveing some trouble finding these

I think 'shooting gallery' rakuten had some 613s left. not sure. I was lurking on there looking for something else. They don't ship overseas, though.

[tweeds]

http://store.yahoo.co.jp/threeeight/a5b8a1bca5.html was the only thing i could find on j-e-a-n-s.net. you would probably need a middleman on this.

[seatiger]

try porky on rakuten

[sbbbjm]

ok, after nearly shatting myself looking at tweedles mccoys in the next sufu contest thread, i went searching around for mccoys. i can't read japanese, so can anyone translate the measurements of the 555 fit, and describe the fit?

http://item.rakuten.co.jp/klax-on/tmp6601/

[fadingblue]

taking an educated guess ill say its waist, thigh, knee, hem. although the thigh is probably rise

[hype_killz]

once again...

so which model would be closest to a 47 cut, or a little less slim than 47

someone help me out... i can't figure out all the measurements.

[sbbbjm]

these are tweedlesinpink's ridiculously amazing mccoys . . .

great, huh?

now i'm hoping that these 555/6601 cuts (i'm not sure which is the model number) on this rakuten page are made of the same denim . . . http://item.rakuten.co.jp/klax-on/tmp6601/

can someone help me out with a translation of the fit and the measurements. they look like a slightly lower rise '47 cut to me. thanks guys for the help in advanced!

[sbbbjm]

mccoy doesn't strictly make repros! these are def low rise, slim, straight jeans!

so someone pm'd me and the page i linked with the 555/6601 cut. it looks like these are def vanity sized - a size 32 had these measurements . . .

waist - 35

front rise - 10.4

hem - 8.7

i'm guessing after hot soaking they'll be

waist - 33.5-34

front rise - 9.5-10

hem - 8-8.5

someone should hop on these if they are made of the same denim as the ones above. i would but i just bought a pair of flatheads. it looks like they are around $210 USD without factoring in a proxy and shipping fees yet. expensive . . . but def look worth the trouble if they'll look like tweedles. look at that color depth!

*UPDATE*

so i priced it out using a 15% proxy

[25200 + 1000 (shipping in japan) + 2600 (shipping to USA)] + .15[25200 + 1000 (shipping in japan) + 2600 (shipping to USA)] = 33120 YEN

approximately $274, holy crap these are expensive!

[LaiShin]

btw, those aren't TIP's mccoys....It's zk0145 or some random numbers.

[tweeds]

yeah...zk4025

[tweeds]

gonna bump this - anyone has a pair of the S613s and could venture some opinions about the fit, details, denim, etc?

http://www.rakuten.co.jp/porkys/944802/1001797/

pics from porky's. they look like a slim 66 cut? or a 55...since jinx said the 614 was a 66, and the 613 looks slightly wider.

[JMK]

The Take5 site has great pictures, descriptions and measurements (waist, thigh, opening, etc.). http://www.take5jeans.com/

tweeds, it says it's their most standard model -- not thick nor thin.

Has anyone checked out the measurements on the site? It looks like a W36 shrinks to 33in after a wash. Definitely does not shrink to tagged size. :eek:

Just found this very informative post about the history the McCoy's brand:

http://ethandesu.blogspot.com/2007/09/which-is-real-mccoy.html#links

as many have alluded to on the board, the McCoy's group seem to have splintered into at least three branches:

Real McCoy's Japan

Real McCoy's NZ / The Few

Toys McCoy

Of the three, I believe that only Real McCoy's Japan and Toys McCoy produce denim. I believe Toys McCoy puts stuff out under the name McHill Jeans (i.e. the Jeans posted up there by sbbbjm) while most of the stuff we see on Rakuten are produced by RMC JPN.

Furthermore, I believe that Joe McCoy's was an older company under the imprint that no longer produces jeans.

The post, I found, was very informative. Though I'm still curious as to why Real McCoy jeans seem to be so rare on Rakuten. Are they just in a production lull? Wasn't Selfedge slated to carry them some time in the future?

[coleslawyum]

^^Good post. Very informative. The Real McCoy's NZ looks like a great deal. The Real McCoy's JP still makes very good denim product. Also their embroidered shirts are of impeccable quality.

[Chicken]

^ nice av.

sorry to derail.

[kiya]

Actually i just met up with the president of Real McCoy's recently again and going to Japan to finalize our deal in a few weeks.

Self Edge will be the exclusive reseller of RM for North America and after a year or so we'll be looking to slowly open other RM accounts through North America.

Their denim is unreal and they have some really amazing Lee repros they've done along with a few great modern slim cuts.

[Guest jeffvyain]

^ that is fucking awesome, kiya.

Great news. I've always been interested in a pair of McCoy's, but the uncertainty has turned me off. Not anymore...

great to hear, ive wanted some RM for a while now but finding them and figuring out cuts and info has been real trouble, make sure you get some nice wide repros ahah

[erbs]

+1 on the wide repro

Those are the much sought after McHill 6601s. They are one of my favourite jeans. Made by Toys McCoy from the original Joe McCoy lineage.

The construction is pretty simple, with none of the sophistication of a Fullcount 1108 (but then, few jeans are) - a bit like Eternal 811s, but with a much nicer asymetric back pocket. However, the denim is seriously beautiful.

They are slim fit, with a low-ish rise. Be careful on sizing. I've found some pairs, although tagged different sizes, to actually measure virtually the same.

Those McHill's are the stealth denimnerd jeans. Not many people have them or know about them.

[naturaljax]

I would kill for a pair of those. Any idea where they can be purchased?
