The man difference between the two is fit. The 614 has a noticeably tighter waist and more pronounced hip flare. Front rise is also higher on the 614, 12.5" versus 11" on the 906. For me, the 906 is by far the better fitting pair. Denim on s614 feels a hair heavier, but maybe that's just my imagination since they both share the same selvedge color (pink). Like the tag says, weight is 14.75 oz.

Where'd you find the Real McCoy's with the arcuate? Thanks.

s614 is sold ou, though. maybe take5 has some left?

[coleslawyum]

True, it's sold out. I got the S614's a few years ago before they made the switch to Joe McCoy's. However there still seems to be some S613's floating around if that fit is for you…

[edmond]

thanks fresco! yeah theyre superb!!! can i see a fit pic on ya?

I notice that the 901 measured 90cm in a W31. I'm not sure if it is due to the low rise. I am usually a W32 in high/mid rise models, should I get a 31 or even 30? Eddie and coleslawyum how did you guys size your 906?

Plus is there any source confirming that the denim is from the previous Real McCoy's collection? Eddie mentioned earlier that they use the old Joe Mccoy denim but I have reservations about that.

You have to size down 1 on these, but since I'm getting fat again these days I went tagged size. Originally Tsuimoto-san was trying to make these his slimmer lower-rise model, but ended up with something more mid-rise. That's why the waist measurement is a bit wonky. I'm thinking more like a pre 2009 Sorahiko fit with tighter legs.

Since The Real McCoys does everything in-house, they can literally reproduce whatever they made in the past. Like if you wanted a style from 3 seasons ago, if they still have the material, they can make a whole new one. They did that recently when I ordered a chore coat form them that was 2 years old.

I'm sure they have a couple of rolls of the original denim lying around. If not they can just reproduce them again.

^ I thought the previous incarnation of Joe McCoy jeans had most of the work out-sourced???

Could be possible, back in the days of when Toys McCoys, The Real McCoys NZ, and Bootleggers Reunion were all partners. But ever since Tsuimoto-san took over The Real McCoys, he has managed to slowly build an operation that manufactures everything in-house. I've always wondered why the quality control is so consistent, and it makes sense since it is all under one roof.

He has warehouses full of vintage items that he draws inspiration from, as well as the manufacturing machines to build all his product. The Real McCoys is more like his passionate hobby that manages to make money also. I think its great, since on the consumer side, it makes me feel very confident in purchasing anything they make.

[edmond]

i will have to agree on this real mccoy toys mccoy and bootleggers have really top quality products really really top quality shit

^^Awesome, can't wait to see them.

Thanks Ed for referencing Benny's blog. I found the post featuring Tsuimoto-san's Kobe spot. You've been warned…

Link, mikecch, or did you see the belts at a store? thanks

[mikecch]

^ Sorry buddy, an old friend from another state was visiting - he bought this belt on a Japanese auction site a while ago.

Don't think they are available in the current Joe McCoy line-up.

But the leather is the same oak-bark tanned leather from Baker's tannery that Tender Co.'s type 200 and my custom belt are made from.

Maybe you could find something similar on Yahoo Japan auctions?

Or get yourself a Tender Co. belt?

[lance]

^ will do, and thanks.

WWII style, but the cut is modified to something close to Fullcount 1108, or ROY. The denim is 14oz, dark and smooth. I am inclined to think that the Real McCoy's S613A denim is used here, since the original 901 denim has a strong vertical falling quality.

Backpocket design is similar to ROY's

11oz herringbone front pockets, nice and thick

High quality hardware

Compare to Denime's XX denim (on the left). The XX denim is coarser and much stiffer

The price is steep (26250 yen), especially since 905 and 906 are sold at a much more reasonable price range. But I love the details and the silhouette. I hope the fading quality of the denim would justify the price.

[daveo]

Oh wow, those look great. I love the herringbone pockets...

[coleslawyum]

901's look great. Price wise, I think its up there with Evisu No.1's as well as the original Denime XX, but I think you get a bit better hardware and construction. I'm curious to see how these fade, if they are comparable to the old school Joe McCoy's.

[slowdownarthur]

the 901s do look great. I'd be interested to see a fit pic.

I'm currently, gradually, wearing in a pair of Real McCoy WWll; the denim is beautiful - really dark and just begining to soften.

this is my only pic at the moment:

[SLAB]

nice picture and really interested in those joe 901's as well; especially if the cut was modified to a 1108 FC

[ah_long]

Yes, waist size on a lot of RMCC stuff is a bit bigger. Need to size down one on most of the jeans.
