[edmond]

wai twait im 5'8 and 1/2 190 lbs but those look really huge on me mate.. weird shit those looks like ronald mcdonald pants on me .. let me know post soak fit pics and how much it shrunk ok?

[KK_Disco]

Yo Ed,

As I promised....here you go......

It is a little more baggy than I like...but i can trade off the baggyness with the quality..

[Ahlvahroe]

those look alot better post soak, keep us updated.

[edmond]

how much did it shrink david?? the waist measurement and leg?

[KK_Disco]

Pre soak was just way too big...didnt bother to measure...

Post soak measures 34.5 in length and 37 in waist...

I would prefer down to a true 35.5~36....but right now its a workable size

[edmond]

maybe throw them in the hot wash and dryer one more time? great fit btw...

interesting. good info

[takashi]

mmm... the McHill lot number (555) indicates this is possibly a Joe McCoy 906 repro (which itself was a Levis 1955 repro -- can we talk about repros of repros...?).

The holy grail of Joe McCoys craftsmanship was of course the 901XH (extra-heavy) 1941 model. By way of comparison, in 2001 the 906 retailed for 18,000 yen (their least expensive denim) and the 901XH for 28,000 yen.

As memory serves, the Joe McCoy 900 was a Levis 1871 repro (one back pocket, buckle-back); the regular 901 (not the 'A') was a WWII model (no coin-pocket rivets, black fly buttons); the 915 was a Lee Riders repro. These all retailed for something like 22,000 back in the days. The 907 I don't remember, but I do remember they made some half-selvage 1961 "West Side Story" coloured denim (red, grey, etc), which were pretty cool.

But I don't know how closely McHill (or Toys McCoy) will adhere to these conventions.

[edmond]

we will see about this taksashi san i once owned a pair of 906 brand new ( just sold it) i ordered a pair of these from take5 well see i do a comparo

[take5jeans]

The McCILL LOT.555 don't designate to recover which model from Levis.

The cutting close to 1955 to 1966.

But , the other model - McCHILL LOT.333 designate to recover WWII (1944 model).

[edmond]

just got these babies size 34

with flash

with outdoor natural light

[edmond]

these are really nice denim .. ive had a pair of joe mccoys 905 and the denim on these are just like those joe mccoys... very very similar like 95% same.. fit on these are almost the same as staying true to size on your sd-103 really nice but not for tall folks( sorry gimmegimme) they have a inseam of only 34 inches will post fit pics and measurements later

its really worth it these are underated jeans they are again really worth it..

Bump for this thread. Been looking at a pair of real mccoys s600 bronco buster's:

http://www.realmccoys.co.jp/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=124

Does anybody own a pair of these. Anybody have any info on regarding shrinking/stretching. I wear a 33 and was thinking about pulling the trigger on a 33 in these also.

Any thoughts??

[Guest patchmb]

X post from how jeans fit. Real Mccoy's s614 dude ranch pants w34. Hot soaked for 1 hour. Washed at 40 ,no spin & hang dried. Described as a slim cut, these are baggier than i expected but i am sure there is some more shrinkage to be had.

[SLAB]

patch, did you go real waist size or size up/down?

[edmond]

i think you can size down 1 on real mccoys

[Guest patchmb]

You can go down 1 size with these but i went true because superdenim only had 34 & 32 & i didnt want the waist too tight. I have enough jeans with a tight waist.

[moykky]

I think they fit you well patchmb.

[sbbbjm]

is the denim on McHill 6601 the same denim used for the 906/905? anywhere else i can see other shots? japanese/american sites, doesn't matter

edmond - fit pics?

Got a pair about a year ago. Its really a work wear fit. Tall rise. Large ass legs and big leg opening. the inseam shrinks about 2". But the waist shrinks about 1". The denim comes oversized so I suggest to size down one. I've posted a worn version somewhere.

Here's the one I bought, brand spanking new.

Here's the worn one.

[opethrapture]

^^

You where right, I ordered a pair in 32 (sized down 1) and it seems like they will fit perfect once they are completely dry! will post some fitpics later!

If the worn in pair is your pair then would you mind posting some better pics of them!

[opethrapture]

X-posted. Real Mccoys bronco buster. Size 32.

[kiya]

Also, Self Edge will be the first US based dealer starting November.

[tahonng]

coleslaw, any progress on those yet?

[coleslawyum]

I wish. I haven't worn those since I got them due to all these denim contests. I have 4 other buckle backs that I need to put some wear in them. It's funny, I always reach out to grab these s600's but I end up wearing something slimmer / non-buckle.

[coleslawyum]

^^These are dope, eddie. Where do you get your hands on Joe McCoy's?

[LaiShin]
