Roy. (expurgated edition)

[kaleidosoap]

rawasdenim: excellent fit, looking to get my next pair hemmed so the length lays just like that.

nic: which cut is that? pretty much looking for that exact fit right around the calves and thigh.

It's the bnb01

so whats the possability on getting a pair of these roys? do a few people get them and not like the fit and usually sell them off?

Do the stores have stock that isnt shown online?

Your best bet is to call the stores or ask the question re stock in the self edge thread.

It's a wonder why all Cone denim can't be as hairy as the ones they made for Roy.

Will be selling my RS2 Nihon sz 36 hemmed to 30 in the marketplace.

Hot soaked and worn a few times. Too big for me, no shrinkage left in these.

PM for details, Thanks!

i bought a pair of rs04 in size 36 - nice jeans. i notice that the size 36 has 6 buttons rather than 5. is this true of all sizes or just the larger sizes?

[scmah174]

My 36 nihon has 5 buttons

[lance]

^ thanks, scmah174, be interesting to hear from others. don't think i've ever owned a pair with 6 buttons - i like them!

[boriori]

my rn04 33 has 5 buttons

[lance]

thanks boriori, i think it will have to do with the size/rise. cutoff at 34 or possibly just in size 36 in the newer model.

^ hey cool_hand, good to hear from you - well, let's hear from someone else who has a pair of rs04 in 36 - i may have the winning pair!

[Maynard Friedman]

6 buttons? I think you're taking the rise!

[lance]

^ ha, guess i'll take what i can get maynard

[tigerpac]

My RN04's have 5 buttons... in a size 36.

[cool_hand]

the plot thickens

[lance]

thanks tigerpac. Well, here they are! Thank you ROY. still have to hear from a size 36 or 38 rs04, higher rise than rn04 i think.

Fwiw size 36 rs1, rs2 and duck all have 5 buttons.

[cool_hand]

started out at 12 1/2, pretty deep. after a cold soak and cold wash to get out the starch, it's 11 1/4. these mothers have shrunk like crazy everywhere. the waist is just about 35. and that's from 37!

I began washing my roys every week or so for the past 4 months. Here is the change.

It has turned into a nice shade of blue. More gray than the photos.

I have a pair of RN03s and after the initial cold soak I can't button up my top button. Do I just wear them unbuttoned until they stretch out, I'm assuming they will stretch back out, right? Is there anything I can do to stretch them out a little quicker?

They will stretch out unbuttoned in a few wears or you can put them on with the waistband damp and they will stretch out faster.

That's what I thought...I just give my self a complex walking around with my top button undone, hopefully it just stretches quickly.

Thanks

All aboard the Graytrain, that's how it's done
