ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[almostnice]

I checked, to make sure ROY hadn't put two pairs in Charlie's box - just one. I haven't unfolded them or looked at them, I saw the pocket flasher and the spikes of the buckle, and have sealed the box to send it on tomorrow.

The Dr got ROY to send them to me as he thought he'd be in Oz at the time. Oh, how the plans of mice and men gang aft agley.

ARE YOU MAD???

we all aware now about the disastrous state of your post system.i even had the unpleasant pleasure of expirience it myself with my Fullcounts.

if you send them again there is a high risk of them getting lost completely.

so jump in your Volvo(should be more reliable than the english post) and deliver them directly!

[fre-co]

I have a volvo.....

.....I am a family man

In our defence, the italian and french postal systems are a complete lottery too (many 'lost' items)

In Greenwich I think you'll find they drive Toyota Yaris'.

I would... but I"m risking my ass on the unreliable English train system tomorrow. Friend's birthday up North. Just as well I won't be wearing my ROYs for the trip, I will end up drinlking too much to show I'm not an effete southern twat and will likely end up with head down a toilet.

But maybe I should deliver to THe Clerk. Check out his pad...

[rnrswitch]

ROYs are dry and I rather like the fit of these, I wonder if I'm a yay or a nay...?

You're a yay. Those look great on you.

Random Cone x Roy related comment from work today:

" Ohh, are those your new jeans robbie? I really like the wash, where did you get those Herbergers? They kind of look like these jeans I saw at the Gap too"

:confused:

Anyways, everyone is looking good. I am guessing TG is going to have a mega head start as she has sweat on her side with the humidity she mentioned.

thats a really nice comment,robbie.all you need now to complete the style is to get those "Easy Spirit" shoes from Herbergers.

So I remember some of y'all talking about loom chatter on your denim. Why no macro shots :eek:. Get on it man.

[Joseph Hill]

Nonsense! I am simply adhering to beatle's Rule #6 and indirectly to #1. Comparing doing actual work in these jeans to taking sandpaper to them is a downright travesty.

I guess I was supposed to put in that 10char thing (whatever that is)

Here's my coveralls over ROYs. First was an impromptu starter replacement on the old F250, with second being a little in the continuing saga of the cursed '83 Civic.

I believe I posted this a few days ago...

I do have a few more but I'll have to wait for some decent lighting for picture taking

subscribed,

fuck I wish I could have afforded to get in on this, these look amazing everyone! I'm looking forward to watching the magic unfold

Ah, good to hear. I was worried that we'd get into some argument about someone 'wearing them the wrong way'. But, I figured you gentlemen and lady were cooler than that I like seeing the Roys doing work!

That's a fantastic fit, fre$co.

Goddam it, I seem to have moved..... that would explain why I haven't got my ROYs yet. Maybe tomorrow.....

BTW Paul, thought you were on the wagon?

@roy6: Killin' it, dude. Will the UK boys be able to make up for lost time?

In other news, it's nice to see something else going into that pocket besides your fingers.

[dr.house]

fresco & roy6: great fits! Super!

@Paul: is this your P-1800? Wonderful car. Awesome.

[roy6]

We never talked about this, did we. We don't have to have a hard end date- those who got their jeans late could keep wearing theirs for the appropriate length of time after those of us who started on Jan 1st stop, or at least turn in our final photos. There are also at least four of us in a tour, which would mean time out from the contest jeans.

How does everyone feel about time extensions for late recipients and/or tour members?

[Paul T]

I vote we stick with 2 Jan as the close date. Neater.

[mikecch]

I think sticking to 2nd of Jan /2012 will be easier for logistical purposes...I don't mind missing a few days of wear.

Can't speak for the folks who haven't got theirs yet though~

[dkatz]

I also vote for sticking to 2 Jan - but I think the Euros should have a heavier vote on this one since you all are getting behind.

NO MERCY for tour folks though! You're taking time off of your own volition. Suckers.

roy6 - love the bandanna placement!

regarding the map... okay, who's the joker "Placemark 8" who's practically in the Arctic? And how about "Placemark 12"? And Medine - what are you doing in the middle of the Atlantic?

I think ROY likes his bandanna...

And today's fit-pic. The Uganda dust is already settling in (not that you can tell from this photo)...

[DocBlue]

2 weeks wont change anything. lets keep it as planned

[pomata]

[SLAB]

Fre$co, great fit , they seem to have shrunk quite a bit (comparing them to the pre soak pictures)
