The Real McCoy's Lot.004 Denim vs Uniqlo Men Slim-Fit Jeans

zipper instead of buttons would not necessarily be my preference, but the pair feels well-made, made in pursuit of versatility, practical-by-design. while not exactly being the replica-pair, the 107 reminds me (not fit-, but looks-wise / aesthetic-wise) of the best examples in osaka / kansai-rooted replica-culture denim: denime 66xx, resolute 712, real maccoy lot 004 etc. one can see the history / the approach behind this pair (i personally like this approach). like with all other things in life - this pair is not the one to fit everyone i think, but the thought behind it, the quality, the achieved leverage of the versatility-aspect do deserve special mention in my opinion

If you really like the look of jeans and want to bring a pair travelling then these are a much better option than cotton. Plus the price is reasonable at £35/$50
