We got our delivery a couple days ago. When raw the waist measures around 2" bigger than the tag size (size 30 measures 32").

Gen (who works at the shop) got a pair, fit is similar to the Ooe Yofukuten OA-01 cut. He didn't size up, when raw it fits snug in the waist and it stretched 1" after a day of wear. He's doing a soak tonight and we'll post up post-soak measurements as well as post-shrink-post-wear after they stretch. He's going to wear them exclusively for at least 6 months so we can get a good idea of how the denim evolves. We'll have them on our webshop soon.

Hey man,

Any more info, fit, shrinkage, fit pics of the Lot 001XX 1950s jeans from McCoy’s? thanks

I think Standard & Strange have measurements and sizing advice out on their webpage...

Thanks, Foxy2, for some odd reason I seem to be fixated on this pair of jeans; they are the anti slim tapered model! It’s going to take an end of summer sale though; just cannot bring myself to shell out this much cash for them. 

[Foxy2]

the japan price of 32,000/34,000 seems a little more acceptable - not by much, though...

[lance]

If I’m not mistaken, that’s $290 or so pre shipping cost which I will pay. It’s more a matter of principle than $, $384 just seemed excessive to me for what I’m getting. I’ll look in to buying from a Japanese site, thanks again, Foxy2.

[Foxy2]

just ordered a pair from S&S...

couldn't be bothered to try ordering from JP - RMC will most likely not ship outside of Japan or the known forwarding services.
this would mean the domestic price with taxes, shipping to a proxy, proxy fees and additional shipping costs (plus potential customs charges) would apply.

I agree.

Popped into one of my fav Melbourne stores today and the owner wanted a few detail shots of my buco j-24l. It’s coming along nicely.

Nice ! Went into Melbourne myself on Saturday night to buy a N1 deck jacket Real McCoy of course $450 , told it had about 20 wears .

very pleased with purchase !

[Aries]

The RMC N1 is great, got the navy one myself years ago. $450 is a solid price, and a *great* price if that's Aussie dollars...!

[splash pitman]

Yep Aussie dollars . Kicking myself because when I got home I accadently hit sellers other items and I should have made a group buy , he had Real McCoy sweat tops and Helfingerblazer all in my size , anyhoo if it's still up next month I'll buy them .

[dudewuttheheck]

Hot damn that jacket just looks absolutely epic!!!! One of the best fits I've seen and the leather is aging so perfectly.

[Aries]

Cheers @dudewuttheheck, pretty pleased with it! Have you got any close ups of your RMC jacket (or jackets, I know you have an insane wardrobe!)? They must be coming along well too.

[dudewuttheheck]

Here's the latest pic of my RMC jacket. Not the best lighting, sorry.

[Aries]

What’s the tee @dudewuttheheck? Great combo.

[SLAB]

in love with that Buco jacket !

Hey Foxy2, what’s the word on your McCoy’s lot 001 purchase? thanks

[Foxy2]

arrived - way too big...still trying to get them to reply to my inquiry regarding an exchange...

should take some pics in raw stage, though.

[Aries]

How did you size @Foxy2?

[Foxy2]

W33 - should be fine with W31...

Bloody hell. How’d you size in lot 004 or joe McCoy 991s if you have them (I ask but, it’s you, of course you have them)?

[Foxy2]

Lot.001 (not Lot.001XX) - W30
Lot.003 - W31
S613 - W32
901 - W31 and W32

Lot.004 or 991 were never under consideration...

for Lot.001XX it was between a W32 or a W33, but I screwed up not being aware of S&S's method of measuring.

Thanks for your reply, Foxy2, sorry about the sizing issues. What are your impressions of the denim; is it anything special?

Edited July 16, 2018 by lance

[Foxy2]

looks and feels solid - need to get the sizing right as my fingers are itching to get them soaked.

a couple of pics in various camera setting...

 

Edited July 16, 2018 by Foxy2

[Foxy2]

sizing is sorted - size exchange is on the way - many thanks to S&S for excellent customer service!

looking forward to soaking them and putting them next to my other RMcC's & JMcC's for direct comparison and review.

the denim feels substantial and I expect it to come alive once it touches water...

[edmond]

foxy they dont shrink much anyway.
