Yes, I’m going to ask my great grandson to unravel these mysteries for me, if I can just find my writing paper, quill, and wax seal.

I’m taking to the internet to get him cancelled? Nope. I respect Roy and his candor. I’m old Double O and don’t even know what a zoomer is. Regarding Tik Tok or selfies, wrong again. I may explain what came up later, but it’s the middle of the night, I’m tired, and it appears the road to hell can be paved with good intentions here on good ol’ sufu.

Roy can be direct and fearless in saying exactly what's on his mind. But he's not self righteous or arrogant -- he knows his flaws and will readily admit them. I don't know him that well but he lives near me and we've had a few exchanges over the years. His intelligence, commitment to what he's doing, insight, and good humor make our (limited) exchanges worthwhile, despite the darts. Of course, I may be a glutton for punishment ...

I have almost every model Roy made starting with the Kinda Specials. Nothing is sewn quite like them (i.e., perfectly), but the cuts do vary significantly from model to model. For the most part, the various (mostly Cone) denims are tightly woven and feel like they'll last for years.
Roy is a bright, interesting, independent guy who puts everything into his work and is unafraid to tell you what he thinks. This can be jarring, but once I survived the initial barrage, I thought, 'damn, he's probably right, maybe I can learn something here.' How many people do we know (for better or worse) whose comments are kinda special, as in unfiltered?

I can’t help but think that Freewheelers and other companies should simply pre-launch on sufu, then go official once they’ve had our input.

It does look a bit roomy Broark, but comfortable. I do know the shoulder overhang is intentional and consistent with Spalding designs from the 1920-30s, per Seiichiro (Hoosiers).

What size do you wear in this Duke? I'm torn between 42 and 44.

That's a great scene. I remember carrying a man bag in Boston in 1979 (purchased two years earlier in Zurich on a post-college vacation). My soon-to-be girlfriend Holly wondered why I wasn't more interested in her, asking if it had to do with the man bag and being from San Francisco.
Regarding the latest tally on jeans, I may need a calculator ... or therapist. In short, one or two of everything.
