[aho]

My regards to those who haven't had their pairs delivered yet...I will be toasting to you all tonight!

The ROY's first foray into the wonders of Pliny...

[rnrswitch]

Looks like the Lofgren railroad shirt. It's great. I have one too. I think rnr has one

I think we should all coordinate. One day we wear our Lofgren shirt and our ROYxCones, with chonies of course.

[ranonranonarat]

paul, theclerk, pomata, i hope they aren't lostinthesupermarket. hope you guys get yours soon.

[jyoni]

Everyone's fits are looking really nice! I'm very envious of this contest...........

[Medine]

This Might Be Picture Heavy

But I like the winter color Combos:

My JP's got the blues:

I was pretty excided when I saw how much detail these pictures have, with the indigo bleeding where Ive folded them and where they have been sliding around on my shoes

[roy6]

^Great shots, Medine, Especially like the second one up from the bottom.

[ranonranonarat]

damn we're so spoilt. i cannot fanthom what i will buy after i am done with this pair.

[almostnice]

yes. i sized like warehouse ie one down. was afraid of a baggy fit ....

nice fit German Fellow. Am i wrong or you did loose some weight?

no weight loss,but i changed from a w32 to a 33 in the last minute.

hey markus whats the shirt? looks beautiful. not i dont like your roys, i am just jelous as you know. yeah doc looking good as always. looking forward to pomata clerk and paul to get theirs. istill think they are getting it this week.

right,Lofgren.still sorry about my size advise,but who could know that the 32's are made true to size?

[lostinthesupermarket]

Yo! Checking in.....

I've been on thhe road since December 29th and just got back last night. The jeans have been here since January the 3rd or so. They are, as you all know, incredible. I'm going to be as happy as a pig in his own sauce spending 12 months in these...so many scrumptious details....the duck, the cinch and buckle, the shell stitch, the hidden coin pocket....far fucking out!

Anyway....soaking as we speak. I ordered waist 33, leg 32 ( yeah, I'm a weird shape). Raw measurements BiG style:

Waist: 34.5

Inseam: 34.5

Front rise: 11.25

Back rise: 15.75

Knee: 9.25

Leg opening: 9

So they are pretty much a straight leg as far as i can see.

Post soak measurements and pics to follow .

[dkatz]

@dkatz - sorry mate, couldn't figure out that map thingy you sent, just plonk me in the southwest UK somewhere...

Done and done. You are officially, and arbitrarily, in Exeter.

The ROY's first foray into the wonders of Pliny...

Ohhhh Pliny the Elder - I only got to dabble in you one time in my few weeks home, and I didn't even get to enjoy your son, the Younger!

I did, however, bring a bomber of Drake's Denogginizer (Imperial IPA) back with me! (as well as a bomber of Anderson Valley Brother David's Triple and a couple 12ozers of Bear Republic Racer 5)

[lostinthesupermarket]

Good one on the map as well dkatz....

Must spread unfortunately.

[mikecch]

So freakin humid in Melbourne right now - was 97% saturation on Wednesday (and I was wearing a long sleeve chambray), the most humid major city in the world.

Package from dkatz arrived today - thank you very much kind sir!

And a very nice fabric it is:

Fit pic, tea-boy style:

No duckies, but bonus rooster handkerchief (cock-rag?)

Thanks again dkatz!

[roy6]

Congrats, lostinthesupermarket! Now just the final three.

Almostnice, looking very sharp. I was afraid they would end up too small, based on your first post-soak pic, but they look just right.

[dkatz]

glad you like it, mikecch! Wait, I thought that fabric is what you were referring to with all the damn "duckies" comments...? What were you talking about?

Also, don't you love how they clearly wrote "mikecch" in pen first - as in where the embroidery was supposed to go - and then embroidered at a different spot? Gotta love Uganda work ethic... (welcome to my life)

[dkatz]

Also, this is fun - I'm collecting pictures of everyone wearing/using their bandannas. So when you guys get 'em, post a photo!

[Dr_Heech]

Done and done. You are officially, and arbitrarily, in Exeter.

Well I suppose it's better than being sent to Coventry!

.

[riff]

More winter Roy love

And this Filson x Levi card case has been in my pocket since I started wearing the Roys - thanks Farhad!

^Great shots, Medine, Especially like the second one up from the bottom.

JP's are sick!

damn we're so spoilt. i cannot fanthom what i will buy after i am done with this pair.

Ditto

no weight loss,but i changed from a w32 to a 33 in the last minute.

Perfect fit on you Almostnice!

Also, this is fun - I'm collecting pictures of everyone wearing/using their bandannas. So when you guys get 'em, post a photo!

Will do - they all look amazing - thanks Dkatz!

[Joseph Hill]

I got my kitenge chickens. They are pistol hot. Mikecch takes some good pictures, but didn't do the chickies justice. I'll see if I can't get some pics to pop. There's just a rich saturation to the colors that's hard to describe.

Not really WAYJDT, but this isn't WAYJDT: Assortments of photos from my camera taken since my last photo post.

I started collecting photos of trucks covered with snow. Getting a nice little collection, here are some of the latest.

Some local cuisine -- shot here (by a buddy, not me)

[beatle]

now those elks slabs are probably tasty

[cash]

^ I ate it with some Spanish rice and a Malbec. It was delicious -- the leftovers the next day were a little gamey, though.

[Joseph Hill]

That red coupe is a honey. Are you fisheyeing the pictures though? everyones rear axle looks bent.

That red coupe is a honey. Are you fisheyeing the pictures though? everyones rear axle looks bent.

No fisheye. I probably took pictures of 5-6 trucks that day and the two I choose seem to have axle trouble. The green truck is probably bent -- it's been parked there for the five years I've lived in the neighborhood. The red coupe's rear end looks to be just a coincidental visual anomaly. The guy who owns the coupe uses it as a daily driver, at least in the summer.

[DocBlue]

[rnrswitch]

Cash. I like your signature.

[aho]

Doc is going to have the most ridiculous fades, esp. below the knee!

[cash]

^Doc is emerging as the dark horse of this contest. I look forward to the evolution.

[PeterParker]

DocBlue has some crazy combs going on. They are so tightly spaced and sharply defined. Should make for some interesting, non-vintage fades compared to some of the other fits.

[DocBlue]

aha

they wont last , jeans are soaked again to remove the starch but i am amazed with those: i did a ride with my bike and the jeans still soaked and here is the result.
