ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[erk]

wow, I guess I've never soaked a pair that hot before.

serious shrinkage - waist is already at 34 from 36 and they're not dry yet. inseam is at 33 from 36. I'm not sure I'll have room for a cuff with these, but thats just fine.

mega leg twist and roping too.

[roy6]

Awesome! Jeans should be in my PO box then, first stop when I get home.

[aho]

Might've missed it but what are we all agreeing to do as far as wear? Is an hour or so before midnight acceptable?

[roy6]

^Well, sure, if you're a dirty cheater. Bring them along and put them on in front of all of your friends when the ball drops, like all of the rest of us will be doing.

[aho]

^Looks like I'll be staying in for NYE so it shouldn't be a problem! ;D (I will literally do this if ya'll are down...pants will drop with the ball!)

[roy6]

I'm down for your pants dropping. But you know what they say about lack of pictures and things not happening...

[aho]

Balls will drop, heads will turn, photos will be taken and little regret will be had come morning time when I look down and see the joy of ROY on my leg's New Years Day!

[tg76]

in 1 hour it is 1.01.11 here so i reckon you can all just get on with wearing them

happy new year fullas

[ranonranonarat]

happy new year guys, can we get some new updates already? im tired about hearing about what iron you guys are using. i need visual stimulation.

[Paul T]

No photos till it's New Year, your time!

I'll put up the ROY interview hopefully tonight UK time.

Later I"ll be adding a bonus feature on underwear. Maybe it will inspire a new forum?

[ranonranonarat]

no ROY for me yet but damn this just came in the mail compliments from zissou! thanks the belt is fantastic!

i swear this guy makes the nicest stuff. i have a key fob from him and it has aged amazing. will return for a cardholder someday! this will be worn with my pair when they arrive! dammit!

[fre-co]

Nice belt Ran/Zissou. I would have jumped on that if i'd not just ordered one from Terry.

[mikecch]

That's a great looking belt, congratz to ran and zissou.

That leather looks very raw (skirting?), I see lots of potential

[Paul T]

If only. My pleasure is entirely second-hand.

Still, from midnight UK time (or whatever time I get home, assuming I will staill be capable of cutting and pasting which is by no means certain) we will at least have some pretty photos to look at.

I am also waiting for William Lennon boots and a Terry Dear belt, both of which were promised before Christmas...

[zissou]

no ROY for me yet but damn this just came in the mail compliments from zissou! thanks the belt is fantastic!

I'm glad you like the belt ranon! I just ordered some more buckles so I can make one for myself.

7 bucks from usa to singapore

Can't beat USPS First Class. It's just as fast as Priority, but you can't insure or track it.

[Dr_Heech]

Paul,

Great write up on the first page about Ralph Tharp and the development/character of the fabric used for our contest jeans.

Makes it all so much more personal/unique (I've never taken part in a contest).

Cant wait until mine/ours arrive, hopefully next week..eh?

.

[fre-co]

Has Terry sent it out to you yet Paul?

So no Roy contest jeans outside the US yet? That is it until the 4th January for postage in the UK.

[Medine]

My Roys are soaked, stiff and ready to get it in.

11 hours til new years..

[robbie]
