ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[erk]

crispy as hell.

[ThisSunday]

Paul, thanks for posting that interview and pics.

My jeans are pretty much dry now. I'm going to iron them a little, listen to Lee Dorsey records, and flip thru My Rugged 211 until 2011

[smittybat]

What's the story with ironing the jeans? I've never done this before.

[zissou]

It's just part of my routine:

Turn inside out

Hot soak

Short cold soak

Hang to drip

Turn right side out

Briefly iron to get out large wrinkles

Wear while damp

Hang to dry

Wear

[dr.house]

I'm so jealous about you guys, less than three hours to 2011 and no package from Roy so far...

[roy6]

Thought I would put up a few detail shots that don't reveal any of the special design elements. If anyone who doesn't have them yet wants completely virgin eyes for their first encounter, don't look.

[DocBlue]

What's the story with ironing the jeans? I've never done this before.

I iron the outseam so that the selvage runs cleanly up the leg. Not quite sure if it helps on traintracks, but that's what I tell myself.

one of the hippest portions of the jeans.

This is getting ridiculous..... oh no that was weeks ago.

[mikecch]

You tell them DocBlue!

(your kitchen is awesome!)

I'm going to disappear to other threads until I get my jeans, or my duckies.

P.S. Nice pics roy6, so interesting and painful at the same time.

[grooveholmes]

good thing i'm not viewing this thread at work tonight... inappropriate!

[Paul T]

Mmmm... nice thighs, DocBlue!

Production photos and Roy Q&A added.

I am a little off my face so there might be some basic cut and past errors.

But it was a good year, and this one is looking pretty satisfocatory so far. Thanks to mark, chris, markus and especially Roy, Ralph, and all you beautiful people who signed up for this ride.

[ThisSunday]

Very nice Paul. I have to get my gf to read this. Now that I have my pair, she wants to know more about what makes them so special.

[grooveholmes]

NIce work, Paul. This thread gets better every day...

[Farhad]

Great work paul. I really enjoyed reading the interviews.

Man, how I would love to sit down with Ralph Tharpe for a few beers.

This seems to be the cashmere of denim!!!

I'm also happy that it won't stretch that much.

It's almost time to Buckle Up Bitches!!!

[zissou]

Oh, man, those interviews with Ralph and Roy were great! I'm having an even harder time not putting these things on! Can I really weait another 4hours and ten minutes?? It all depends on how much more drinking I do.

The 'sinful' comment from Ralph cracked me up. I think these things are all the more rare and wonderful now...

[aho]

hour and a half to go!
