ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[Paul T]

I've sent out about 24 passwords. Apparently he sent out a brief acknowledgement, sounds lilke he's snowed under.

Apparently my last round-robin (or both of them) didn't reach everyone - server delays I guess. If you haven't heard from me (THisSunday? Cash?) , email me with your full name, SuFu handle, and email for my files. I'll send out the remaining passwords tomorrow morning, US time.

The form is that once ROY has your email, he'll send out a PayPal invoice. Please pay him from funds or bank (not credit) card as a gift so he's not paying their fees.

[lostinthesupermarket]

My order is in.

He might be doing the international guys first. It would probably make sense to get their orders out well before the Christmas postal rush.

[lostinthesupermarket]

I think if you pay a gift off a credit card with Paypal, the payer pays the fees.

That's been my experience in any case.

Yeah. With a bank card neither of you pays fees.

[The Clerk]

With a sense of excitement bordering on trepidation... I have emailed Roy

[lostinthesupermarket]

@ Paul T

Happy days!

[fre-co]

done and done.... now we wait.

[Dr_Heech]

done and done.... now we wait.

Ditto.. unfortunately I fucked up on the gift thing, sorry Roy.

[Paul T]

Cary, what size did you go for?

I'm going for what is my normal post-shrink size, no allowance for stretching. I would do if they were a skinny cut, but I figure the post-shrink size is what he wants to give a fit similar to his.

[The Clerk]

Well I'm guess that true to size they fit like ande whall's so I've tentatively gone for a 32 which is the same as my cougars from mr aw....

[The Clerk]

But I might want a 31.... errr...

[Farhad]

Is there gonna be a secret handshake if and when any of us meet up?!!!

here are a few options!!!

Then, there's always the

Just FYI if any of us do meet up and you don't give a password, I won't acknowledge you

[Paul T]

And your ande whall were 32 after soak, yeah?

[fre-co]

Gift? Oh whoops, didn't see that bit. I just paid his invoice.

[The Clerk]

And your ande whall were 32 after soak, yeah?

Yes, after a quick, warmish soak and then giving the waist a good tug

[lostinthesupermarket]

I usually size down 1 to 32 but I ordered a 33, TTS. I'm not too sure whether I should have sized down one to allow for stretching either....on the other hand, if I'm going to rock them for 12 months, comfy is good. No jeggings for me.

I went for enough inseam to give me a 3" cuff.

[The Clerk]

Yeah a little more inseam in normal seems the way to go (so speaks the man with a chainstitcher)

[pomata]

after a long calculation and meditation (1 min)

I'm pretty sure I'll have a hell of a good fit

[Farhad]

I haven't ordered yet. to be honest it's making me a little nervous. I want these to fit well and I don't wanna bug Roy.

Edit: just measured and it says I'm a 33 but I always either get 31 or 32 WTF M8!!!

I know 33 after shrinkage will be too big.

I bought 32 in eternals and fits perfect.

thoughts?

[lostinthesupermarket]

Well.....not having figures for the rise makes it a bit tricky....but I think pomata's approach is probably the right one. Just dive in. As long as you're within an inch one way or another, this stuff can always be worked out.

edit: I think these are supposed to fit more like overall style pants rather than regular 5 pocket jeans. I think the cut is going to look weird if it's worn too tight.

[erk]

I ordered 34x34. Same as my sugar cane 47s. Hope that works well. It would have been nice to have rise and thigh measurements. But whatever. If they shrink to 34 and stretch out to 35 I'll be perfect.

[tvshooter]

I haven't ordered yet. to be honest it's making me a little nervous. I want these to fit well and I don't wanna bug Roy.

altho we haven't discussed yet (that's why i was calling earlier), our little not-so-secret is that we, yes, you and I are going to share the jeans. so pick a size we can both fit in and i'll catch up with you later about it. but don't tell anybody yet. k?

[Farhad]

lostinthesupermarket- I just done deed calculate, are you saying I need to meditate? before ordering?

Aaron you're too bookoo fo ma jeenz IN THE WAIST THAT IS!!!

[ThisSunday]

I think I'm just gonna go with a 32 waist and hope for the best. I'm excited to be getting another pair of bucklebacks

[robbie]

@robbie, where in the middle west are you?

I am in Central Nebraska... but if I had enough time to plan/save for gas $ Kansas City, Chicago, or Minneapolis could be potential options for a mini-meetup. Or Denver if some of the mountain time zone boys wanted to meet up there.

Gift? Oh whoops, didn't see that bit. I just paid his invoice.

Yeah, I paid with paypal funds (thank goodness some of my stuff sold) and bank money, but had no idea I was supposed to specify it as a gift. He charged me for services and not goods which seemed interesting.

If roy needs us to cut a check for the fees or something I am all up for that if need be.

[lostinthesupermarket]

Does anyone have any information on how much this denim will stretch?

@Farhad .., I think Pomata meditated Ramones style.....wuntwothreefour......Blitzkrieg Bop.

[rnrswitch]

@Farhad .., I think Pomata meditated Ramones style; wuntwothreefour......Blitzkrieg Bop.

I am banking on 1" stretch in the waist.

[Medine]

I sized up a wee bit. I told him id like a 33.5W. I also went with a shorter inseam than I usually get 32.5L

hope he doesnt get pissed at my half inches

[ranonranonarat]

its 7.30am (GMT +8) where im from and i missed being in the first batch. damn, paul email me my password soon! = )

i used the method roy measured his jeans and im a 33.5 inches in the waist but i wear a 30 in the eternals. what size are you getting farhad?

[Paul T]

Don't sweat if you've paid. I mentioned I asked people to gift it, if he's concerned he'll say, if you've still to do it, save him the fees if you can.

Stretch, huh. You know, ROy is right. Why make it so complicated? Just do what he says. He will have accounted for shrink and a bit of stretch. Jeez rnr, did railroad workers always prance aroudn fixating on a 1/2 inch either way in their waist size?

Just do it!
