Roy. (expurgated edition)

[Highvoltage]

Kind of difficult to tell from the pic, but besides the white edge, how does it compare to the RS03 Cone denim?

It feels a good bit heavier and the shade is slightly deeper.

Is the video online?

[DFreshLeish]

The film will be available around the end of may. I'm putting together about 5 mins of solid Roy footage for people who participated in the kickstarter for the film to receive next week.

We've got about 4 hours of footage with just Roy, one of the coolest dudes ever.

Ah, thanks for the info. I confused your film w/ the video Kiya spoke about covering the new jeans from Roy that were slated to be released this weekend.

[DFreshLeish]

Oh yeah, that's coming with the release of the jean. It was done by a guy named kellen dengler, he does really cool stuff, including some of the "singularities" for 3sixteen

[cmo]

Any sign of the new jean release on the Self Edge site or is it only at the stores?

Is this a one-time fabric or is this the new fabric Roy will be using from now on?

Not sure at this point, there may be another run after this but we still don't know what's left from this run which fed the three Self Edge stores.

There's a good post over at denimbro about Sansome's visit over to the Roy studio.

Love you for dropping this link into the thread.

Come to SF, let's crush the e-beef over some fancy coffee and beer.

I like the denim on the RS03s, I think it will be perfect for warmer weather. Now I'm curious about the new fabric..

[Aries]

Great video, excellent editing.

For Roy's ducks (in fact, ducks in general) what's accepted dogma for washing? Just chuck them in the wash or do I have to treat them similarly to denim to keep the colour (cold wash, no spin etc.)?

Absolutely love Roy's work, these things are, to quote Kiya, indeed built like a tank inside.

Obligatory pic as wearing them today (xpost from wayw):

[Goominim]

aries, wait until it gets funky, then mildly hand-wash it with cool water for a couple of minutes … then hang-dry. I think I read somewhere that Roy just throws them in the machine without a care. I just want to make them last as long as I can.

[Aries]

Great, thanks goominim, I'll follow your advice, want the colour on these to last!

[Dave_SFU]

Saw the new Roys in person at SE SF yesterday, i was really impressed. My size isnt sold out yet so im still mulling it over.

[UkeNo]

These were selling like hot cakes according to the Selfedge thread - most of the Narrows were gone within minutes and the Straights following fast behind.

People were phoning SE stores as advised by Kiya to get the remainig pairs in some cases, as they'd sold out online - Dont Mull Too long.

Cheers
