ROY X CONE contest, 1.1.11 - 2.1.12

[Graytrain]

I dare say Paul is the only one keeping up with the expected picture amounts. Riff is almost there.

Other wise all is good. Thank you all for the updates.

[beatle]

ur rw's look rugged, Eltopo...very nice

[mikecch]

I swear the denim on my RxC is slowly evolving into melton wool

Btw, I remember Paul T talking about the staple length of Pima a while back, here are a couple of pics I dug up from a cotton analysis report.

First graph is for staple length:

Second graph for strength of the cotton:

* ELS is short for extra-long staple, which Pima/Egyptian/Sea Island/etc are classified as.

I got a whole crop of random New Orleans pic from my phone for all of you..

Here's just a random cool building by my school:

Tulane's Library:

My school (Xavier) with a view of downtown:

This was a sunrise during one of my many all-night study sessions:

Studying that Japanese:

Random pic from a blurry night on bourbon st.:

From the huster store:

My dorm is right next to Fox News channel 8:

[Medine]

Did a wash on the jeans/dkatz bandana:

A club called Rocco's:

Another view of downtown:

Another pic of my school, which is actually, yes, a historically black colleges(one of the best in the nation):

reminds me of down by law,

must spread

[fardin]

i loved the city, great pics medine. loved the food the smell of the air the river man, there is this nice coffee house on decatur i think it was called kaldis, big place, and smoking was allowed back then.

[eltopo]

EESH. Something tells me you're not the first one to hold that object and say that line (maybe B.I.G. on his way to visit Tupac?)

A side note to earlier photo, I was shooting targets in the backyard, I am not bringing any weapons ect to LA, incase someone got the wrong idea. Dkatz the way you quoted it makes it seem like something else, I don't need anyone knocking at my door!!

[smittybat]

eltopo - The AR-15 doesn't really vibe with what you're wearing. How about an L1A1 Fal w/ some nice wood or a Garand (maybe the greatest battle rifle ever) or an M-14. If you're ever in Georgia let's go shoot some stuff (targets).

[Happy Hooligan]

lol..

so now we're accessorizing the right fire arm to go with our denims....

[lostinthesupermarket]

Great shots Medine.

@mickcch ha! I was about to post if anyone else was finding that the denim was getting hairier and hairier.....I thought I might be hallucinating. I've never encountered that phenomenon before.

Agreed, need something with walnut furniture.

[robbie]

All this talk of coffee... decided to introduce you to where the hippest of hip get coffee in Lexington.

THE COFFEE COTTAGE!

Like i was saying, only the hippest of hip get their coffee here.

good thing it's drive-thru!

an almost daily stop

I was pretty stoked when I saw this vest, but it's a large and it was stained.

thought they were adidas, but no markings, no size, anything... Couldn't tell if they were track shoes or what.

[lostinthesupermarket]

Fit looks good robbie. Nice chore coat. Ben Davis?

[robbie]

drove around a little more

little pink houses...

LEX is hard! check out the planned grafiti :confused:

not really sure where the rest of these signs went, but this one is pretty cool and seems to be the only one anywhere in town.

Came home to hang out with my cat

I was in rising sun and the dude mentioned how he loved the new conexroy jeans with no prompting by me. I didn't have them on at the time cuz I was taking advantage of getting some free vintage suspenders as described on their blog. I did have them in my suitcase so I ran out and grabbed em to show the dude. He was blown away. I guess roy stops in whenever he is down in LA.

Next contest. Royxrising sun???? I wish.

[Sansome1877]

I feel like a real slacker, I have been enjoying all of these great posts by everyone here!! Maybe the inspiration show will produce a few good fit pics, Watching the kids and cleaning the yard, hasn't inspired me to take any photos? Roy6, I drove through Bakersfield once? I will PM you with the corrections. Now for some knee fades.

if there is a next one, I would sure like in... I've enjoyed watching this one so far...

[mikecch]

@mickcch ha! I was about to post if anyone else was finding that the denim was getting hairier and hairier.....I thought I might be hallucinating. I've never encountered that phenomenon before.

I just compared the denim on the exposed areas (thigh, leg, etc) to the denim inside the double-cuff - definitely the portions which are exposed to friction are much hairier now!

[DocBlue]

hello pals and congrats to all of you who are feeding the thread much better than i do.

next pics will be from ski vacations with kids i am so glad. first time for them.

here are with 2 days in advance the monthly pics of jeans ....

2 quick soaks on day 1 and that is all for the moment. As others i have some hairy jeans but nothing different from other brands imo...... blue fades are coming along pretty nicely. i got to do some minor repair at the crotch as i have been a bit brutal with those already

light conditions are different. true color is on macro :

[Paul T]

Looking good, Doc. THe belt is magnificent.

I've added a link for dkatz's Google Map, it's on the first page, just after the list of contestants.

[ranonranonarat]

wow doc, you're getting a lot of fade in the ass. those are some pretty defined and quantitative(many??dont know the word to use gah.) combs. are those really tight on you? judging from the crocking they look like they are, but from the fit pics they dont look as tight. i enjoyed the updates from everyone thus far. really good stuff, this thread is starting to come alive again!

p.s. ROY6 whats with the list? you sending me a postcard as well?

[dr.house]

My respect to Paul T.

[Paul T]

My respect to Paul T.

hahaha! What model??

[dr.house]

It's a Barbour International Trial jacket, but hey...:-)

[riff]

Doc - those are looking amazing! Make me wish I still had the dirt bike with studded tires!

Great pic dr. house ! That Barbour is sweet!

Man, stuff was pretty unreliable in the old days....

[DocBlue]

Jesus Christ Riff where did u get that thing? it looks like so unreal ....
