Cheers LC - not going to be wearing these until the Roy x Cone contest finishes, so a fresh start next Summer

[dkatz]

Mike, that cut looks spot-on! Any chance we can get rear pics too? Man I'm tempted...

[mikecch]

^ Will try and get one done this weekend!

[chubby]

Anyone know how long gun normally takes to respond to e-mails? I sent him an order yesterday and havent heard back.

[mikecch]

^ His computer is broken the last I heard from him (last week).

Measurements when they arrive would be highly appreciated, because I was thinking about that cut and size to.

Chubby, same deal for me. I ordered yesterday and haven't received a confirm. Prior to ordering, he was getting back to me fairly quickly.

Ill let you know if i hear anything.

[Smoleu]

I just heard from Gun, all seems good. He's moving his workshop and will start sewing on Monday.

[Mr Black]

Just stumbled across this thread. These look great and may well have to be my next hit.

My birthday is in 2 days, if I get a good amount of money i will get these.

[chubby]

Do it! It seems like the only pairs on SuFu are denims #0 1 or 2. People need to check out the other stuff he's got.

[mikecch]

^ Hee, #0 and #1 are the most special

[Mr. Bojangles]

Based of the sample swatch, the grey #18 is fantastic.

[blackmaged]

0/1/2 give the best bang-for-buck IMO in terms of fabric pricing..

Speaking of fabrics, new ones have been added... Gun has added a selvage chino fabric, by the way... looks real nice, reminds me a little of the RRL Officers.

#25 looks real nice.. 15oz mmm

[mikecch]

^ IIRC #2 is a 40*01 denim, so not as expensive as #0 and #1, which are 40*00 denim.

Yeah ,the #25 looks excellent. Hoping Gun will be happy to make some work pants out of it in the future.

[LC_Miey]

just good to see how fast Gun is progressing...he's really putting every effort in his brand/work

anyone know anything about fabric 24?

it says 'black coated on indigo,' which makes me think of the shiny coated jeans that some brands produce. but that's not what the fabric looks like. it also doesn't look overdyed. will it fade from black->blue->white?

[Bokkepoot]

I'm also curious about fabric 24..

I did ask for a sample..Which i will sandpaper and wash to see how it evolves.

How did everyone with a Artist denim size?

[chubby]

anyone speak with gun recently? I paypal'd him last week and haven't heard from him since.

[saintkeat]

OK I received my sample swatches today! #0, #7, #8, #18 and #19.

I'm really loving the #0 fabric and #18 fabric.

I'm guessing no one on sufu has 18 yet? If you do please speak up.

And who has the oldest pair of #0 here? I'd like to see how it progresses over time.

I'll probably be passing the swatches around to friends looking for a new pair, and then if I'm bored enough, try to cause some fading on each fabric and see how it turns out.

I might just purchase 2 pairs since I'm happy with the fabrics. Iron heart can wait, can't deny a great bargain when I see one. Great job Gun!

^ Oldest pic of 40500 fabric I could find is a pair done by Sugar Cane:

anyone heard from Gun recently?

[saintkeat]

i received an email from him a couple days ago, don't worry, hes fine just busy.

Nudge nudge.....

[mikecch]

^ Ooop, my apologies, had weekend shift. Will try this weekend before I head out to rural Victoria.

No sweat - I look forward to it! Yours are the "straight" (as opposed to slim straight) fit, right? For the sake of comparison fun, what size did you order from ROY for the ROYxCones, and how does the waist compare?

And, lastly on the mikecch request-barrage, what did you have in mind with the below comment?

I actually want to start a little natural indigo project next year - with this Artist Denim jeans as well as my old school sc40300 Lee-pro.
