look real nice demonito,im curious is there a description of all the joe mccoy cuts anywhere?

[edmond]

theres none but i think the catalog is out and they have pictures side by side of the jeans theyre releasing..check out their site im not sure if its out yet but i saw the catalog on their store in daikanyama

[coleslawyum]

I believe BiG will be carrying them soon as well as every store in the world that carries the Real McCoy's. I didn't see the catalog but I did get a glimpse of the order sheets of all the cuts. So far it looks to be mostly repros. Nothing too slim or short rised. I love the branding. Corny in a good way.

[edmond]

me too colesman....im loving the loose fit these days really comfy and im starting to look like an alien from all the slim jeans around people are wearing ha!

[JacoBlue]

Oh i love joe mccoy....

them coming back is a little epic somehow.....

theres so much respect behind the famous Joe mccoy....

from what i have heard they are famous for their streaky denim...

Can i expect a denim that has the qualities explained by denim gallery here beneath?

Vertical falling

When talking the color falling of ヴィンテージジーンズ and the replica jeans, not being able to miss

It is the shield falling.

Here, the vertical falling we would like to try thinking, whether it is expressed with one some principle of.

If you mention the vertical falling, as the white line enters vertically, it means the thing of the color falling which is visible, but

It probably means that why such color falling is expressed? You can think two primary factors in the vertical falling.

It is thickness of warp and the dispersion of dyeing.

When there is a dispersion in thickness of warp, it can designate rugged as the denim cloth to weave.

(As for the cause rugged being possible there is also a power loom)

When and the jeans of this kind of cloth which has rugged are worn

The convex section (the thick part) the concave section (the thin part) a stronger tension catches,

It means that the color falling of the convex section keeps advancing first.

In addition, because there is a dispersion in thickness, the dispersion occurs even in dyeing.

We are related to the dispersion of dyeing deeply even in strength of twist of the thread,

The thread whose twist is strong (it is strong the twist yarn), the indigo to dye being to become difficult to the center of the thread

So in the thread which is not also advance of the color falling is different from the thread whose twist is strong.

These kind of two primary factors are piled up, color remains and the time where difference of the る part becomes clear it is the case that the vertical falling is expressed.

Using properly the warp of no type thing thickness to random, it seems that is also some which aimed for the vertical falling in the replica jeans.

As for the jeans where you can see the excessive vertical falling such jeans are many, is.

It is something wherethis is calledthe generally known structure denim

[edmond]

well see about this! ill try to break in these babies

Word from Lewis @ Superdenim.co.uk is that they too will be stocking Joe McCoy in due course.

Excuse my poor dumb ass but what i'm not quite understanding is how these will differ from the current Real McCoys line-up. This goes beyond just a change of label right? Different cuts, denim, details, etc?

Denomito or anyone else, got any insights on this?

[edmond]

joe mccoy is an entirely new lineup the cuts will be repro cuts

i think there will be 5 or 6 cuts and a standard real mccoy model

maybe 7 or 8 types of cuts will be available from the company

the usual ww2 , 47501, 33 type will be there

denim will be the same as the old joe mccoy's sans the red tab

[JacoBlue]

Great Ed! nice that they brought back the old models and denim! Love to see you wear those suspender jeans alot! they look awsome!

[SLAB]

will they release a model with suspender buttons as well?

[Slub]

Lot of tasty gear now on Superdenim.co.uk

Can't see a suspender button model but there is a cinchback

[coleslawyum]

^Thanks for the link!

Looks like there won't be a suspender button release. I didn't see one in the catalog. Quality of the Joe McCoy's looks to be exactly the same as Real McCoy's, as it should be. It's made in the same workshop.

BiG had a recent restock of Real McCoy's so I copped a few of these.

[SLAB]

too bad there's no suspender model. ive been looking for a great Japanese replica of a 501 with suspender buttons, anyone has any recommendations?

[coleslawyum]

^^Not to talk about other brands, but how about Samurai 634's AI? Might be a bit pricey though.

[Slub]

I love these from Heller's Cafe

http://www.ware-house.co.jp/index.php?page=catalog_item&ic=29436

Not sure if they're based specifically on early 501's. They have arcuates on the back pocket but so did other brands at the time.

[SLAB]

those Samurai's are out of my price range; Hellers look great but not too sure about the color though

[Slub]

FYI - Real McCoy's have updated their website, now featuring the Joe McCoy's stuff

joe mccoy 906 2009 edition

denim feels like denime,,,

[the_ming]

i'm assuming that, like buzz rickson, joe mccoy is a company with a made-up history, to create a "vintage look" as it were, including tags with fictitious dates, etc. (please correct me if i am wrong.)

the tag says springfield illinois, which is a pretty bizarre place to put on a fake tag. i also thought that lone wolf claimed to be from springfield as well, which made me do a double-take when i saw that on a tag.

it may be the capital of il, but it's really a small place with nothing going on (my grandmother lives about 45 minutes from there so i end up there every year.)

there is a used record store with some good finds, but that's it as far as i can tell.

[edmond]

yes yes the ming yes

[edmond]

i doubt these have different denim than the real mccoys.

these are the exact same denim f the previous joe mccoys

[Willy_McCoy]

Some of their pricing is outrageous. $105 for a pair of leather rank insignia? I have three jackets from McCoys, an L-2, B-15 (mod) and a red James Dean "Rebel" jacket that I got for a song. If their jeans are as nice as their jackets they are excellent.

[jstavrin]

Are all of the "McCoy" jeans made by the same company? Toys McCoy?

[edmond]

theyre made by the real mccoys

[Alex3000]

Ed those fit really good, the 905 is more relaxed isnt it I'm planning on pulling the trigger on a pair.
