@Flash did you already wash them? The fit looks very promising and really not that bigger than I thought.

Yes mate , gave them a second wash to get all the shrinkage out and there currently drying

Selling a size 40 506xx 

Only worn 5 times at most 

Chest 20.75 

Shoulders 18.25 

sleeve 24.25

£220 plus shipping 

Anyone want to trade a ( pretty much brand new ) freewheelers 506xx ( size 40 ) for a beat up faded type 1 or 2 ? I'm open to pretty much any brand but it must be heavily faded , be short in the body and size 40 

Pic from when I got it but I've only worn it maybe 5 times so ....

Would also consider selling for £220 plus shipping 

I don't know mate , I'm pretty much the same size in every brand I wear so maybe pop into a footlocker and just try on a random pair of 1's to get your size right then go from there

^I'd hazard a guess that flash is on his way to Tokyo and fancies a rummage around some vintage shops for nicely worn repro denim.

Hit the nail on the head mate 

Does anyone know of any used denim shops in Tokyo ? , im not talking vintage I'm looking for repro stuff thats been worn in . I've came to the realisation that I'm a bit sick of wearing super dark denim day in day out ( only jeans I wear now is my old faded conners ) so buying used could be a way to get some variety 

@ColonelAngus they run pretty true , take your vans/converse size 

Making the most of this Belfast sun , get the legs out for a bit of a tan 

Me ... jordan ajko 

Jack ... jordan 1 shadow 

I hate new shoes .... always feel they need a few scuffs and a bit of wear

As far as the hype goes, I don't care. At all. If someone is making something the way I want it made and I can't easily find it done that way elsewhere, I will make effort to buy it - either because there's no hype and it's obscure and difficult to track down or because it's super hyped and I need to be on the computer at 9:15 am San Fernando porno time to cop. At its worst, it's just not that complicated. 

I love my Roys. I'm not thrilled with the fit on my Ooes, but the fabric is lovely. I also love my big, bad, bully, western-market-price-gouging Full Counts. They each offer something desirable that the other does not and cannot easily be found in other jeans elsewhere.

As for pattern, if you haven't handled them and tried them on, you cannot speak to pattern. Measurement charts can give you a good idea of general dimension, but cannot tell the story of how the subtlety of pattern will affect the fit. The BS Straight is a perfect example. It has identical measurements to my Roy jeans, but fits completely differently due to the front rise being drawn out flat and straight and the seat seam pulling a strong curve along my butt. The Roy has the same measurement FR and BR, but the front curves earlier and rear sags lower.

I'm not talking about fit when I mentioned the pattern , what I mean is the the actual design of the jeans ... the big bro ( i think that's right ) comes to mind , the cinch just looks out of place. There are other similar design ideas related to how how some of his patterns were designed that I'm not a fan of but I think I have better explained what I meant by pattern and there's no need to start a list.

I’ve never had them either and wouldn’t jump on the hype train BUT his jeans looks very good - well thought out designs, some nice unique and quirky touches, a sense of humour, carefully selected denim (that was sometimes custom made), faultless construction and custom made hardware, patches, etc. On top of all that, I think Roy communicated his products well on his website.
 

We all know that some of these smaller brands generate a lot of interest, develop a cult following and, unfortunately hype, e.g. CSF, Ooe. Alas, that’s the nature of the beast. Out of those three though, I’d choose Roy.

Just my uneducated opinion but I've never really liked his patterns or the sewing ,maybe its the high stitch count that reminds me of some single needle jeans I've seen ( i don't like those either ) . I suppose we all gravitate to what we like and Roy just wasn't one of the brands for me 

Other than hype , what is it that draws people to Roy ? I've never thought all that much of them to be honest but I've never had a pair in hand so maybe I'm missing something 

@smoothsailor is the best dressed man on sufu , just simple classic fits
