  1. I just received a pair of 66.  I really like the fit -- I have the 47 in a couple of sizes and this already feels like it will fit better after a wash or two.  When the top of the 47's are comfortable the leg seems a bit wide for my current taste.  These thread the needle with top comfort and not being too billowy....  I really like the denim on the 47's and this feels similar, though in the unwashed condition it's a bit hard to tell how they will develop.  And the price is pretty nice also...

  2. soaked the 1000XX DSB's. I really like this '46 fit -- not too extreme with the rise or fullness.  It is really well done.  I have a couple of pairs of Duck Diggers, which I think are in the banner denim, a 47 and 50's pair with a zipper.  The 1000XX seem of a much higher quality all around.  

     

    Thank you @fooleo for the helpful post 

  3. Ive been wearing my OA02's lately.  Love the buttery soft pocket bags on these jeans.   After wearing some other brands for a bit, I am really appreciating OOE's and the last iteration of Roys, the RT.  They are different 

     

     

  4. @Broark I think you have the 46 25th anniversary -- how is the fit on those?  I am interested, but I don't care for the TCB contest fit... on the other hand I love the duck digger 47's.

     

    Thanks for any input!

    Yep,got a few tshirt from them at Sun House hinoya and they are loopwheeled if I not mistaken

    yes -- the fleece is very heavy and slubby, though it does have panels on the side

    @wmb yup I am familiar with FilMelange, but haven't ordered anything from them personally: https://filmelange.com
    They seem to have grown a bit over the years, they used to just offer loopwheeled knits of different varieties.
    I think I held off previously since sizing looked a bit small, but good to keep on the radar for the future as their size range has expanded a bit.

    thanks for the link -- they have some nice things.  The fit on my sweatshirt is a bit strange... It has a very large neck opening, which I don't love,  fairly long sleeves that work for me ( I need 36" sleeve shirts) that are tight for a sweatshirt. And my arms are pretty skinny

     

     

  6. The difference in the width of the leg -- as the pictures above show by @mpukas, is quite small, but the result is a much more flattering fit ( of course, in my opinion ) 

    I haven't taken these things off since I got them and have yet to even give them a soak.

  7. Really like the fit of this new pair - similar to R01 up top and just a bit slimmer from above the knee straight to hem.  I prefer them to the 01. Barn find denim is very smooth-shiny almost like a left hand twill — substantial though like black seed. This cut is most flattering and my favorite Roy so far

  8. those fade images push me to machine wash often 

     

    regarding the 711 b_F -- trends are funny, I just can't wear a low rise now -- it just looks dated.  I have a great pair of RMC... tried them on and in my mind it looked like a 3 inch rise... Ill have to put those away until low rise jeans are back in style...
