ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[dkatz]

wearing my Tellason Strummers today (tour 3001's will not be work-appropriate 'til they go in for some TLC... that's "Tailoring Love and Care") - the hues of this Cone (White Oak) denim is beautiful! Getting me excited for this fantastiCone denim we've got coming our ways....

[rnrswitch]

^ hmmm... sounds complicated and like something I don't want to risk on the Roys... Thanks for the info though!

if I say it enough times maybe it will come true.

Hard to make that possible without making the jeans look a bit wonky. The two fabrics shrink differently and on the back pocket could add for some awkward creases.

[dkatz]

^ sweet, rnr, just go ahead and shit on my dreams. What about pre-washing the duck?

Also, just got a call from the tailors. They mixed up and made bandannas of the fabric I left for a shirt, and vice-versa. Hah!

Maybe I should bring some kitenge back for ROY to make the pocket bags and lining from?

Mostly I just really want lined back pockets.

So right now on the first page we have the OG Roy thread, the Roy contest thread, the Roy world tour, and the Roy poll

pretty kewl.

we need some cheerleaders in skimpy outfits for this contest BTW.

Roy Roy he's our man, if he can't do it no one can!!!

@Daniel- they'll be sick either way don't worry. maybe Roy can make some boxers with the Kitenge fabrics. might be a bit too colorful for down under!!!

[-Z-]

well, snag some of those models from your last shoot and stick them into some ROY og cutoffs...

[rnrswitch]

^ sweet, rnr, just go ahead and shit on my dreams. What about pre-washing the duck?

Well prewashing the duck would make it worse, because you now have a fabric that won't shrink at all stitched to a fabric that will shrink a ton.

I like the idea of lined pockets as well. I hate holes in the pockets, but after X-mas my wallet won't be so hefty anymore, so maybe I don't have to worry about it.

[Joseph Hill]

Did someone say cheerleader?

Sounds like this competition is going to be a lot of fun, it will be my first. I have some different ideas about how I am going to put wear and tear on my jeans, I will be washing them in borax, like the miners did..........with an old wash board I have. Figure the competition would be fun with some variety. Don’t know if I can go 6 months with mine dust all over them, may have to wash mine more often………

I heard a rumor that rnrswitch has one of those machines that you see at Ikea (you know the machines that test repeated use on cabinets) So if we see a years worth of wear on rnr’s jeans in one week you know something’s up.

I am going to be back to painting soon…but I don’t think I will wear the Roy’s for that….or should I…….

[roy6]

Rnr does have one of those Ikea-sit-down-one-the-rickety-chair-over-and-over-for-infinity machines, i saw it in the background of one of his fits.

[almostnice]

i believe he doesnt own a machine.his comment about handwashing and people leaving bleach drops is a bit suspicious.

[Medine]

So I plan on wearing the Roy tour jeans until 12.31.10 and then exactly at midnight on 1.1.11 ill throw on the contest jeans. Cant wait for my Roy filled year

[rnrswitch]

i believe he doesnt own a machine.his comment about handwashing and people leaving bleach drops is a bit suspicious.

Oh, I got machines, but the days of college have tainted me and my old lady goes nuts with the bleach on whites and shit. I weep in despair when I am even close to a bottle of bleach.

[rnrswitch]

I design those machines. I made one that does lunges and squats all day and in the evening break dances for ultimate wear on jeans.

My old man uses borax. He's a bit old fashioned like that.

Hope the parcel delays from the US don't effect the transit of the Roy's too much for us international folks.

Are there parcel delays from the US as well as to? Is this just for Australia?

[mikecch]

^ From the US as well, not sure if it's just Australia or not though...

[ranonranonarat]

damn, hate those delays. not been wearing denim for a couple of days because i have none that fit. shitty time. come on usps.

[DocBlue]

during the last 2 months all (2) my parcels from japan were blocked and resent... . (One out of 2 from London was blocked.... btw)

my parcels from US all went tru.. and the one i sent too .....

so i would say that all the stuff coming from usa is pretty much bound to arrive in time ..... given my totally biased experience.

[mikecch]

^ I very much hope so - my wallet and belts from the US are long overdue.

Nothing to do but wait, I guess.

I rang Austpost about the delay on my unlucky order and the offical reason is due to the fact that US customs is checking every package in and out.

Do you mean that your parcels from Japan were sent back there and had to be re-posted to you? If so, were you given any explanation as to why?

[mikecch]

Yeah, they told me that last week.

Apparently everything sent before the 16th of November may be delayed up to 2 weeks, parcels sent after the 16th will be delayed for 48 hours.

My stuff were sent out on the 15th and 13th, boo~~~~

Good luck to you guys overseas, I think roy6 is going to walk over and pick up his pants?

Someone told me your machine line dances into the night, not break dancing?

[DocBlue]

that is what i mean.

explanation was that invoice was supposedly missing wich is false...

my explanation is that they reinforced their controls on asian parcels....

i received about 15 parcels from japan this year and it only happened on the last 2.... one directly from a shop,one from Hide... both know what they are doing ....

i am waiting for them to be reposted

It only line dances if I play "Achy brakey heart," which is actually a lot. I can't get enough billy ray cyrus in my life.

i am prepared for the onslaught of neg rep which this will bring

but...

+1

that song changed my life... it's actually made me hope against hope that Roy makes a 13MWZ repro.

[fre-co]

erm..... I don't think I want to associate myself with these people.
