That’s pretty interesting, turns out Roy passed on his equipment to Buaisou. Was it a known thing and I just missed it?

Pretty sure it’s Busao? Can’t remember the spelling. 
Japanese denim company. 
They posted about a shipping container with machines being unloaded and I believe Roy has visited them a handful of times.

@Hopethisoneisnttaken Edwin spotted it a couple years back, although I don’t think they ever formally announced it until now. Good websleuthing!

Damn, so no more Roys ever again. Glad I got his last pair of jeans, but sad I sold the original SE-DUCKS.

can someone explain Buaisou? seems rather eclectic.

They dye stuff.

That’s kind of an understatement I think. They grow indigofera, make true natural indigo dye and dye with it. All in house. Some of the cotton for their products is also grown in house as I understand it, but perhaps I’m wrong.

Sure. You can expand on my statement. But it was a fairly accurate.

How accurate would it be to say that Ferrari paints cars?

I really wouldn’t  be able to disagree with that statement…

I’m very interested in that Portland shirt.  

[scooby]

My friend gave me his old Roys for my future vintage collection. Pretty intense

[tewsday]

Did anyone notice the pair of Roy Peanuts Pants that sold for $800 on Grailed? Pretty crazy. Never would I have expected to see a pair of Roys sell for this much, but Roy is retired so the chances of seeing a brand new pair is slim to none these days…

NWOT apparently. But still, that price is pretty rich. I should sell mine at half the price since it's worn a bit. I could never jive with the fit, but a great piece for sure.

Understood. I’m sure it would be difficult to dance whilst having a seizure or with cardiovascularly superior partners.

Gave my Roy x SE R01 (Cloth Patch) a wash the other day. Decided to snap some pics and share them here as I feel they are getting to the sweet spot. They have been repaired once. Pretty liberal with washing these now. About 2.5 years of wear.

These look amazing @tewsday

Thank you @srudy! Black seed denim is such a slow fade, but worth the wait.

A very limited edition????

[Hopethisoneisnttaken]

I mean, if it does happen I’d love to get a pair of Buasiou jeans for the mere 450$ that Roy used to cost. 

[oomslokop]

roy mij!

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Well, it's rather a 4 digit price and I bet there are enough to buy a pair

It cannot be ruled out that the price of Buasiou's next jeans will be increased with the cost of Roy's work.

I think he’s going to teach them how to use the machines, this was going to happen soon after he sold them- but covid happened.

I’ve been trapped doing nothing but working, mainly finishing drywall for the last 8 months…No mining what so ever, we have started putting the Levi book together, it’s only been 12 years since we said we would finish it.
