drinking before high school dances and smoking at lunch and going back to school was great

What MF riders are made of cone fabric? I was under the impression that all riders were made of typical sugar cane Okinawa denim.

Someone can't keep track of their jawnz, which I guess can happen when you only wear them once for a photo op and then bury them in the back of your closet underneath 350 pairs of Nike dunks.

I think he meant the MF Californians?

Great American lounge wear:

Hooded Swet

Ribbon Belt

OG Hypebeast Roys

So why are these Cones so hypebeastly? I would say cone compared to my warehouse or other japanese jeans ive experienced with tours is that the cone doesnt fade with high as contrast but weights and feel of the fabric is more practical for year round/diverse wearing opportunities. I know ppl have had issues with LVC, but I can easily say that anything I have touched by Roy trumps japanese brands I have handled.

And Cone as hype is touchy because this one of the brands that started it all. It simply good to see a prominent american brand do well in the fashion/dollars business. And im pretty sure Cone Fabric fades to makes the most classic American looking jeans, and thats what all the japanese want, isnt it?

Not to take any sides, but from what I took from this, ed was referring to a few more prominent posters proclaiming their love for Cone denim recently and in a way downplaying the plethora of Japanese brands....I wouldn't necessarily refer to it as "hype", but I do see why he might feel that way. Further still, 3 or more people on a board of 1000's isn't really hype, so it's really more a question of volume (as in noise level)...

Hell, to each their own! It's good to see Cone finally getting some recognition but I still love my Japanese repros as much as my Cone denimzzz....(I love American Heritage as much as Japanese aesthetic/otaku-ness)

And can you imagine if Amoskeag was still around???

[Medine]

Dont get me wrong, id buy up some momotaros right now if I could. but being both classic & hype for a business can mean nothing but $$

[16steps]

maybe its because im old, and grew up in a different time, but i hold firm to the belief that 15 year olds should be out trying to get pussy, sneaking drinks, and getting into trouble rather than posting pics of thier outfits on the internet.

my 15 year old self would make fun of my 26 year old self for wasting so much time making fun of old dudes dressed like fucking lumberjacks and railroad mechanics online

seriously, if youre more concerned with your epeen and jeans rather than scamming on girls for nudes and brain then i feel bad for you

i was so much cooler 11 years ago

[Guest redchris]

That's why they were taken down. Also, I should let you know, grow up. I'm glad you're having fun mocking a 15 year old.

LEAVE....THE KID.....ALONE.

I think I was included in the comp. partly because of my pro-Japanese denim stance, and partly because the noise level I generate

I'll always be pro-slub, but the Cone denim that Roy is using - both on the original Roy's as well as on the contest jeans - has changed my attitude towards Cone's White Oak fabrics.

But I think there was a mention in the Roy World Tour thread that Mr. Slaper loves Nihon Menpu fabrics???

[xallanx]

Shit, when I was fifteen -- in 1997 -- I was almost always in skate tees or hoodies, with a pair of Droors jeans. I remember wearing a Snapcase "Steps" hoodie pretty often.

brings me back to the mid-late 90s.

Easy, tiger. He was taking he piss out of rnr, not you.

Lot of people were dissing Cone. We are just showing that they do some great stuff, too, no reflection on the Japanese brands, which personally I love and have been wearing since our younger posters were spermatozoa (not that I"m proud of bneing so ancient). If, in a year, the jeans look crap, dismiss it all as hype, that's your prerogative.

[Guest redchris]

go for it mate!....(gets brew and makes self comfy for the fallout)

[zissou]

Wow, this is still going on? If there was actually any hype surrounding the RoxCones, it was well worth it. They're the most well made jeans I've seen, and the denim is particularly unique (to be fair, I will place them in a dead tie with my MFSC 7161s with four Sugar Cane denims).

Agreed! I too have been wearing submariners almost every day since the cold came rolling in...

Aero barely softening after three winters...

Bloody hell. Looks great.

Is that the North Sea Clothing submariner? I've been eyeing their new shawl collar sweater... fortunately the warm weather has eased the pressure on my wallet.

[riff]

^ Cheers, my Roy-wearing friend!! I do have a navy North Sea one, but the Ecru here is the one from Nauticalia - same gauge, but less itchy, and washable - the last is a must with our two overgrown pups!

[beatle]

i would trust Zissou to sail around the globe, that pea coat looks so good on you

[Guest I LOVE LFC]

All this Roy talk is making me want some. The hype is guna piss my bank account off no doubt.

It is great to see Cone getting some recognition thanks to ROY, but I agree with ed's "fan boy" sentiment. We've seen the details of ROY's craftsmanship, which was arguably the one thing that was lacking on jeans made with Cone denim up to that point. Somehow, we have yet to see any pictures of well worn ROY's.

It seems as though all of those people who picked up "OG" ROY's have had their fling and now found a new denim infatuation. Show these jeans some justice by committing to wearing them so that we can see how Cone denim ages!

I think there is some merit to the "hype" with the RxC contest. Considering that the fabric is one-off limited production (likely never to be seen again), it will hardly be representative of typical Cone denim but rather a demonstration of the denim Cone is capable of producing.

I propose we settle this in a Cone Mills vs. Japanese Mills rumble. :eek:

See your asses on the field at midnight.

do you mean moved on? like are wearing jeans Roy didn't make? Cause I believe the number of people who owned Roys pre selfedge in the contest is more than the number who didn't.
