Roy. (expurgated edition)

[SLAB]

when is the 50's cut supposed to come out; i feel the hem of the RS1 is way too thin to consider it a straight cut? size 29 would end up after soak with a 7.4" leg opening

[SwedeAlex]

Hey guys! I´m about to order a pair of Roys RN1. I´m usually a size 38-38.5" in the waist since I like to sag a little. Do you think I can squeeze into a pair of 36" Roys, since they measure 37" in the waist?

[smittybat]

I'd say no. Remember these are not sanforized so they're gonna shrink.

[fre-co]

Yeah that is not going to work for you I think.

[Vandon]

Just got my Roy's literally 10 min ago from fedex. Size 33 in straight fit. Are they pre-soaked because I was shocked at how soft they already feel and aren't rigid at all?

[onehundy]

^ no it's not soaked.

[kiya]

For those waiting for a 50's style cut, it's not going to be till sometime in the first half of next year. Roy's art comes slowly.

[Vandon]

Not soaked! Damn, I'm impressed. I guess they get beat up and soft during the stitching process? I've never bought a pair of raw selvedge without it being Frankenstein style before they break in.

[Vandon]

i got ridiculed for my last pic on "what are you wearing today" so maybe this one is a little better? I know my room is messy, i just did a load of laundry. I was just excited to post my new favorite jeans on here.

[k1d.]

man really want to jump on the roys... but having a hard time breaking in my sexih07bks =[

thanks, ill be patient, i have enough denim in the closet waiting to keep me busy untill then.

[Vandon]

has anyone had any issue with the button loops on the fly ripping? they look really close to the edge compared to some other jeans i've had:

[kiya]

They are a mm or so closer to the edge than other jeans but we've yet to hear about anybody having theirs rip.

I thought the ROYs would be rigid since they're made out of 14oz. Cone Mills, but Vandon is saying they're soft.

Do they stiffen with a soak?

[Vandon]

does anyone recommend soaking them first or just wear them for awhile and then do a cold soak?

[onehundy]

Soak them first and then wear.

[almostnice]

Vandon:ALWAYS soak unsanforized denim before wearing it.

on top of superdenim you will find the encyclopedia which is filled with tons of info about washing,soaking ect.

about your fly-question:i felt the same with my mf riders,and i reckon the okinawa denim is softer than roys cone.but after wearing them for over three months everyday i can say all the butt(on)holes are in good condition and i dont see a problem here.

dont worry too much of your jeans.go out and give them some good hard wear.

[Vandon]

thanks! very good to know

I have never seen a button-fly collapse.. And if they do, they are just shitty made, to be honest.

I did a 2 hr hot soak like I do with all my unsanforized denim to get most of the shrinkage out of the way.
