Real McCoy's / Joe McCoy's Jeans

[misterjuiceman]

Anyone know how the N1 field boots fit compared to Alden's TruBalance, Barrie or Modified lasts? Or Crockett and Jones' 325 last?

[Quoise1203]

They fit much more expensively!

Sorry, I can't offer anything constructive as I haven't tried them on. They look gorgeous, however.

a first fit/cuff update: JMC991XH

Great fit Finn.

[Broark]

Man, I want a pair of those Finn!

[bradl]

That is seriously the sharpest colour of blue I have ever seen on denim, my god.

[Broark]

I definitely agree, and the orange stitching really makes it pop even more.

a first fit/cuff update: JMC991XH

That's one, maybe the best fit I've seen on a pair of jeans, ever! Damn they look good.

I'm so, so close to purchase a pair of the 991XH or the 906S. My only concern or should I say question is, how those two jeans/models age and feel in terms of the denim itself?

I'd like something different and think the McCoy's are something different than the other more "popular" brands.

[ThinFinn]

thanks a lot guys , these sure are dope as hell. brutal happy with them and that denim is just awesome...

[SwedeAlex]

Finn: did you handle the 906S while buying the 991XH?

I'm curious to know people's thoughts about the 906S denim and the character of it...

although I can't speak for the denim comparison, the 991 is probably the best fit for me of any jean I've worn; clean lines, slimmed up in all the right places

[coleslawyum]

Lol, I need to update my blog…

 

The 906 denim is a bit flatter in texture. I would say that the 906 denim is closer to vintage denim from the late 60's, with its smoothness and eventual light blue color. 

 

It's definitely not like a warehouse or denimexx fabric,that has a lot of slub, but its also not too even like sanforized denim. I would say somewhere in between.

aho- is this some kind of internationally recognised denim distress signal that im not aware of?

 

Whatever it is? seems to have worked.

^the Bat-Signal of the denim world?

[ThinFinn]

thanks a lot guys!

hey,

nope sorry, wasn't able to check that one out.

[Quoise1203]

I just stopped by the HW Carter & Sons store in Brooklyn and they recently received a nice little supply of McCoy's stuff.  

 

They had the 906s jean, some chinos, t-shirts, a couple of button ups, peacoat, Buco motorcycle jacket and wallet, N-1 deck jacket, and the McCoy's yearbook.  

 

I've never seen McCoy's merchandise in person and everything was gorgeous.

Chain Stitch for Denim Jeans

 

 

Chain stitch, same machine（Union Special 43200G ）

But different user, different adjustments, different cotton lines......bring different results.

You will find the differences after times wearing.

So is there a consensus among us on which is the best N-1 repro? The McCoys version or the heavy weight Demotex version from Buzz? Both are similarly priced.. McCoys usually has the edge over Buzz and I'm leaning toward the Mccoy version but I like the sound of the heavy weight Buzz.. Anyone had both?

[SLAB]

I owned the Buzz and want to pick up the RMC version this year. Still doubting which size to get since I found the size small of the BR version to be on the rather tight and short side. I handled the RMC a couple of years back and really preferred their lining over the BR one. That said you cant' go wrong with either one

[kimi]

Thanks Slab, was the one you had the heavier and more expensive seawash version or the standard Buzz version? Iv heard it said a few times that the mccoy lining is softer than the Buzz which definitely goes in its favour but I wonder which is the heaviest of the two.

[SLAB]

cant say which one is heavier, my BR N-1 was the regular version ; non-seawash version

 

have to say; i really regret selling it but the size didnt feel entirely comfortable. Hope I can have another one soon

So much for holding out on not getting another pair of jeans, should be getting the 991 next week sometime. Does anyone know the difference between the 991 and 991XH, the site doesn't say to much regarding the differences.

[aho]

Ridiculous sale, I hope you'll still be carrying RMC product though, Chicago needs it!

[bradl]

From what I was told they are still getting shipments, he just wasn't entirely sure what they were going to be getting in.

[rxin94]

Hey guys I had a question about mccoy jeans.  If I wanted a slim cut like the samurai 710xx or flathead 3001, would I get the 904 or 991? And what's the general sizing consensus.  Preciate it

[Broark]

Well shoot, I just told myself I wasn't going to buy another pair of jeans either.

Looks like that might possibly change.

I'm tempted by the 991, but I can't really find much information on the 904S.

Anyone?  

Also I think the only difference in the 991 and 991XH is the weight of the denim, 13.75 vs 14.75 but I could be wrong.

XH for extra heavy?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

the 904S is advertized as a slim straight pair. I'm sure you can find measurements on Rakuten.

and your assumption about XH = extra heavy is correct AFAIK.

[Broark]

So which would be the slimmer pair, the 991 or the 904S?

[beautiful_FrEaK]

from what I know the 991 but a quick look at measurements you will find (plenty) on Rakuten will assure you. That's the bit work you have to, takes you 3 minutes, I'm sure
