[Highvoltage]

Thanks-

[Kravia]

still no fit & detail of the new roy's 04?

[grooveholmes]

Flip back a page. Rawasdenim posted pre and post soak pics of his rs04s.

[tigerpac]

Waiting to get my RN04's back from SENY hemmed (hopefully today) will post fit pics once I get them.

[mally]

Really can't wait for these to arrive now. Do any other UK residents know how long jeans usually take to arrive?

[cmo]

I see mine are at the National Hub after clearing customs. You'd imagine tomorrow or Sat.

[mally]

thanks cmo. reading your post made me realise i had failed to notice the tracking number on the order email from self edge.

[boriori]

I'm waiting for mine too, didn't receive any tracking info tho.

[cool_hand]

my roys also cleared customs today.

[lance]

man are these babies stiff!! Soaked, washed, air tumbled and still they stand up alone - beautiful

I'm waiting for mine too, didn't receive any tracking info tho.

Hi Boriori. If you ordered online from Self Edge you'll have received an order confirmation email. In that email there's a link, click it and sign in. Once signed in, you'll see under the section Status History and Contents an USPS ID tracking number. Go to their site, select tracking and enter the number to find out where the Roy is.

Where's YYZ anyway? Toronto?

[cmo]

Any post soak measurements?

Yep, Toronto.

I ordered mine through the phone with SENY. I just emailed them for my tracking info. Just clearing Canadian customs today.

Can't wait!

[cool_hand]

should receive today - they are on the truck as I type.

Any post soak measurements?

Hey cmo - lost 3" in the inseam, 1" in the waist and about 1/4" in the leg opening. I'll edit this post this afternoon after work - I have exact pre/post soak measaurements at home.

Cheers man.... The straights or the narrows?

[mally]

well mine have arrived. i got the 32 in the narrow. the denim is incredible, stiff as hell. the workmanship really is first rate.

However, they are somewhat tight through the waist.

the legs, when soaked, will be perfect, just worried about the waist.

mally - put a 2" x 4" cut to size in the waist when you hang to dry - always works for me

Got the RN04's back from SFNY last night, the inseam is... aggressive but after moving around in them a little they're getting comfortable.

[cool_hand]

my rs04's have arrived they remind me of my sugar canes 47's when I first got them raw - but just heavier denim.

going to love breaking these in.

the denim is something special

How'd they end up fitting?

[cool_hand]

How'd they end up fitting?

they measure as stated. the fit is very similar to my 47 canes but stiffer. they are difficult to button up!

I don't think I can give a fair review of the fit until after they've been rinsed and worn a few time.

if they shrink an inch in the waist as someone else mentioned then the fit is going to be just fine

[RawAsDenim]

Make sure to get those fit pics up post soak!

i'm trying it now. thanks for the tip

[boriori]

Hopefully mine come tomorrow sometime. Still in customs

Still waiting for some fit / detail pics of the rn04's!

[RawAsDenim]

Well I feel like my RS04's have settled in pretty well, I'm still gonna get them hemmed though.

rawasdenim - great straight fit

[cmo]

Just received my narrows in the mail. Fantastically made pair. The best I've had in a while. Just worried now about waist shrinkage. Not too tight pre soak can get my hand/fist down when buttoned up.

Anybody who has soaked want to share stretch info.... I.e. do they stretch any with wear?

Hi cmo

As you know I was really worried about my size 32's with regard to possible shrinkage. I have to say that the top section is a lot more fitted than the studio d'artisans I'm used to, but after cold and then lukewarm soaking them last night and keeping something in the waistband to keep them at the required width, everything has gone amazingly well. I've worn them from damp to dry today and the denim is without question the best I've ever worn. Its phenomenal. The legs shrink like crazy in length and I've decided to stack mine for a while and then may cuff them later when they soften.
