Roy. (expurgated edition)

^ Double 0, even us old guys gotta laugh at your last three posts here.  Please, just don't come back with anything Roy-like -- I'm in a mentally sensitive state 😉

 I’ll keep my social commentary much less topical in future 😁

tore a bigger hole in the seat of the R01s so they’re now off to S&S Oakland for some darning. Faster turnaround than SE, I was hearing. 

Did you happen to find more info on the turnaround time for darning repairs at S&S Oakland? From past experiences for me, SESF darning turnaround is about 3-4 weeks. A  <2 week turnaround would be pleasant.

Looks like Roy made a few pair of jeans whilst at Buaisou... there's a glimpse on his IG... anyone heard any more? 

[beautiful_FrEaK]

Yeah I think he posted about this back then already. Made for the Buaisou guys and for some friends (?!). So nothing you can buy  

[Broark]

I would've loved a pair of those Buaisou jeans, but I think he only made a couple pairs for himself and maybe a few for people in Japan.

[reallypeacedoff]

Yeah, was for the Buaisou crew. He’s been posting a fair bit showing the process behind all the dyeing. Cool insights. 

[MJF9]

Gentlemen, we have a duty, in fact an obligation... and no less... to track down at least one lucky recipient of said Roy Buaisou jeans... and cajole them into sharing photos... there is a need to live vicariously on this one!!  First Sufu member to find such-like earns a super rep and a clapping hands emoji

His IG has been really nice recently. It’s making me happy again to have a few of his pieces.

You lucky bastards with size 31-33 genes. 

[JohnM]

My genes are 33 but my jeans are 36.  What went wrong?!

i'm a 30 but I'm sure could oversize a pair.

and yet.

meh. 

I'm sure they're nice. But too many things already.

^ Have there been any updates? Not on Instagram these days

@julian-wolf www.roydenim.com

Good luck.

[scooby]

Site works, although it took me 10 minutes to load

I expected high prices (and understand them),  but $695 is more than I thought I'd see

[Jared_Lee]

I've gotten the site to load, but I have yet to even see a pair for sale. Haha.

You have to select "bottoms" from the drop down menu after waiting for it to load, then, wait for it to load again

Did they all go up at once, or is he adding them bit by bit? I only see 5 pairs, and it looked like he had a lot more than that stocked up

[Jared_Lee]

@julian-wolf bit by bit, as he can, all day.

[Jared_Lee]

@scooby, I see. I'm not getting a drop down menu anywhere on the page. Not overly bothered by it. Just curious to see what goes up.

[julian-wolf]

[Jared_Lee]

Thanks @julian-wolf! I found the drop down menu on my phone. For some reason it doesn't appear in the page that loads into the browser on my computer.

How much did they ultimately sell for on Self Edge? Honestly, $595 and $695 for new with tags seems very reasonable all things considered. And $350 for a one wash? That was a steal. You gotta wash the damn things to wear 'em anyway. Haha.

I'm afraid it looks like they may all come up too short for you, Julian. They were mostly meant for Roy himself to wear and it appears he's much shorter than you. But maybe there'll be a random long-length pair in there for you. Seriously, good luck!

I have the Foreman Chino and some version of the Black Seed denim (can't be bothered to go dig them out to confirm the model). If I came across a $350 pair though, I would definitely get it. I wear 32 in most of his cuts.

I haven’t been expecting to fit into any of them—I’m pretty consistently a 34 these days—just enjoying checking out what’s there. That said, I could be misremembering, but I think Roy’s at least as tall as I am.

I think you two are close in height.

Wordpress sucks. 

[Talan]

The site opens with no problems... Unfortunately there is no my size (36), would have taken it at once 🙃

[mpukas]

I'm still quite upset that I sold my 3 pairs of Roy's that were too small. I'm more upset that when I got them I preferred a tighter, slimmer fit, and now my tastes have changed. I now prefer a more relaxed fit for comfort and mobility. I don't get nostalgic about stuff. I've bought and sold many pairs of jeans and shirts over the years that haven't worked out for me. The Roy's are the only pairs that have any sentimental value for me. 

If he ever releases something new with a collab with Baisu, I'll certainly consider. I'd expect the price to be very high.
