Cheers for your reply. Looks like I'm off to get a block of wood tomorrow!! Not too concerned about the length as I need a 34-35 inseam.

mally - looks like you've started a trend

Soaked in cold water for about 30mins and currently drying with a hanger stuffed in the waist band. Anyone else notice the denim sticky to touch after soak? Prob just the starch I imagine. They have definitely shrunk a lot. I may stick them on when damp to help stretch the waist. I hope they work!

[cool_hand]

waiting for your report CMO - won't be soaking mine until the weekend.

[lance]

hey cmo, the sticky will come out, it's just starch but it took me a soak and a hand wash

[cmo]

After the soak I don 't think mine could go anywhere near warm water for a wash! I think they would shrink too much in the waist. I will know better once they dry and I can wear them for a few hrs...

[cool_hand]

hi cmo, I always cold wash denim - they will stretch.

[boriori]

Yay! Got my rn04's today. super excited!

The button holes on a lot of them are small (thats what they told me at self edge) but like lance says the denim gives pretty easily

[shoreman]

Anyone looking to move Roy Jeans, tagged size 31 or 32 with a minimum inseam of 34 pm me.

[boriori]

One thing I don't like about my rn04; the belt loops aren't wide enough to fit my belt!

Any suggestions on what belt I should get?

[RawAsDenim]

What kind of belt are you using O.o because I'm using a pretty thick belt myself (NF Thick belt to be exact) and mine fits

[tropicalbird]

It's not the thickness but the width. I assume his width is around 1.75" and can be problematic on a lot of jeans.

very minimal shrinkage now and don't see much further shrinkage unless I hot wash.

I have a belt from samurai.

Went out and got a new belt from tanner goods just for this pair of jeans.

[The Rat]

I decided on a pair of 32 RS04's after the 33 RN04's sold out in ten minutes thinking they'd be similar enough to my RN1's. The before soak measurements on selfedge.com were accurate and after a hot soak last night they shrank about two inches in the waist, from about 17 in down to about 15 in, they shrank to a 35 in inseam, and they shrank about .5 in everywhere else. I was worried about the shrinkage in the waist, enough so that I held off on soaking them, but after wearing them around for the last hour I'm sure they'll be fine.

and neither of them fit?

Samurai doesn't fit. But the tanner belt fits perfectly.

[Cobblers]

My RS04's size 34" measured raw at 17.5", shrank to a 17" after a lukewarm 1hr soak and drip dry and now with 2 days wear they are back to 17.5".

The cut is perfect a bit like my old LVC 44's with less rise. I reckon I'll give em another soak at the weekend and see how they fare. Man I wish I could have got my hands on 2 pairs. Or 3!

Mighty fine denim. Up until now I was hooked totally on my Warehouse 800's and 660's but these Roy's are just stunning. It's all in the details!

Roy for President!

[misterh]

where are all the detail pics of the roy 4's? c'mon people.

[viol8or]

Amazing pair of jeans. Getting the button broken in has been torture but otherwise i am more than happy. Wo

ill put up picks once ive beat them up a little

[tigerpac]

I've got a couple close ups of the denim, but having trouble posting pics w/o going through all the song and dance.

I'll figure it out and post some.

[cmo]

Wore my narrows for the 1st time today. Denim is crazy stiff. 12hrs wear and first observations are that the rise is way smaller than anything I'm used to. I reckon they will need a good month of solid wear to make them sit comfortably. At the minute they are too stiff to give a fair assessment.

[RawAsDenim]

Got my RS04s back from Self Edge yesterday

[nicolnicolnicol]

Got these off the selfedge sales. Still thinking if I should give them a soak. They are a little bit too tight for my liking atm but I guess I can live with that. Will be looking to hem them soon..
