Roy. (expurgated edition)

[Noodle36]

Finally figured out how to post pics. Hope this works

[Noodle36]

Pictures are small, what the F

Spoken like three folks who have never washed dishes in an industrial kitchen.

Restaurant stink permeates everything, never comes out, and you will hate smelling it when you're off duty.

It would make a good photo, though, especially with a denim apron.

Yeah, I worked in a really nice restaurant for two years and still came home covered in stank everyday. It's a smell that never leaves.....like stale french fries and oil. I wouldn't suggest it, especially being that Roy is not making new pairs for a bit. Just my two cents. Buuuut if you don't mind, I'm sure we'll all get a kick out of seeing some greasy ass jeans.

What sort of dipsy doodles ain't got no denims jacket?

...Oh wait, I ani't got no ROYs... ...yet.

Dipsy doodle... huh. I am gonna have to use that.

On the point of stanky foody jeans. I worked at burger king and let me tell you that stench permiated everything. If you want to get some stank on your hang low, then I would hold off on wearing them in a kitchen... but could make for some nice lookin jeans.

Oh and by "stank on your hang low" I mean vagina stench on your pecker... to spell it out.

In one post, dude expresses the desire to integrate into his daily vocabulary a phrase like "dipsy doodle" AND uses "stand on your hang low" jive-talk sorta shit. Something very dissonant about that. Love it, rnr.

does anybody know if the waist for ROY denim will stretch out much? mine are tight as fuck although i can fully button all of them. thing is that they have not even touched water yet. might have to sell them off if they're not gonna work out for me.

[mikecch]

^ Yep, they stretch out. Mine were like that after the initial soak, but stretched out perfectly after a week or so.

[smittybat]

You might be in trouble here. From what I can tell most guy's are reporting .5-1" of shrink in the waist. I'll bet at least half of the shrinkage will stretch back.

[ranonranonarat]

damn, that's a tough call on whether to give them a soak first to see how things will work out or sell them off now. I am liking these a lot though.

[mikecch]

Yeah, they'll probably stretch out to be just a tad tight.

But I guess if you sell it now, you could probably make a small profit

[smittybat]

You can also stick something in the waist during the soak and dry to prevent them from shrinking anymore.

thanks for the advice, i'll probably lose some weight this couple of weeks and if i don't think it will work out, up they go here before going on supermarket.

[aho]

IME they won't stretch too far past the original raw measurements but if they aren't comfortable now they won't be comfortable post soak even if you stretch them back out. My pair measured a 31 originally (but a 32, I swear I'm measuring it right) but I actually did stretch them out half an inch but I still need that extra half inch to make it bearable. The solution? Undo the top button and belt it up! Rock those Roy's like they were meant to!

EDIT: to be honest, I was in the same boat as you...they aren't comfortable for me buttoned all the way up although I can button it easily but how could you let go of such a pair? All that hard work and customization that Roy personally put in, it'd be a damned shame! Keep them! Keep them! Keep them!

well, I can start a superdenimworkout thread. I'm sure there's a few of us (myself included) that need to shed a few lbs. lets all go on the riff workout plan to begin and bike 5000km a day...

[ranonranonarat]

really needed that coming from someone in the same size. i couldn't bear to sell them could i? adding a little drama into the ROY thread to keep it alive..

funny how we are caught in the same predicament for ROYs, both selling warehouse 660s, eating the same shit on the Burgus Plus World Tour thread. guess you wont see too many burgers on the tour next month!

time for superworkout. i know the perfect man who can train us up..

say hello to our new fitness instructor..

[aho]

^Don't want to de-rail the thread too much but we are officially denim brothers Ranon! In other news, I have given up burgers for a month (my girlfriend, sweets/desserts) so who knows if my Roy's will fit even better by the end...I did throw them on today and they were lovely, however!

[robbie]

If he decided to do it in the future, it would be sick to get tees embroidered

a crisp white pocket tee w/ ROY or our handle embroidered on the pocket would be sick and perfect for our 'ROY day'

Brother be given himself a hernia.

T-Rex patch after a machine wash the other day:

Compare to this when it first came (was sun-tanned by Roy for a few days):

Denim post-wash:

[holleman]

Personally, i like the patch of the 'older' jeans better, just plain leather

[pomata]

brother shits himself to push a lil bit of sand

[Vinneus]

new update on the ROY homepage... hes up to something, expanding the operation?!

[holleman]

I wish all the best to ROY and his operation, but i do hope that he can resist the temptation of becoming a commercial mass producer.

That said, i'm still glad as **** with my ROY's. A jean for life.

[tvshooter]

cryptic dudes. . . tell you what. . makes me wanna quit my job and help the guy out. i'll cut patterns, sew pockets, sweep floors whatever. but then i would have to change my user name to royhelper.

[Vinneus]

my next pair will read "Made in NC Hand sewn in CA"

[LandoCal126]

my next pair will read "Made in NC Hand sewn in CA"

It should be "Woven in Greensboro, Hand Stitched in Oakland!"

[tvshooter]

It should be "Woven in Greensboro, Hand Stitched in Oakland!"

ok, and whenever i get my pair it will say, "Woven in Greesboro, HandStitched in Oakland and worn on tvshooter's fat VA ass!" bladow!

[Vinneus]

thats what i was driving at... i like it! been wearing my ROYS for the past few days, (short Warehouse diversion) and sept.11 will make 3 months. i just love everything Roy Slaper, the man, is about, ive never felt so connected to a garment. i often tell my clients, when they compliment on them, that they were custom made for me. which, for all intense and purpase is actually true...
