I am having a hard time believing this is real. He said he was getting a bunch of people pretending to be me to try to snag them. Thanks again for everyone who gave me the heads up. Happy new year to everyone except my imposters. That's a shame. I actually thought it was a joke. Glad you contacted him. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnM 703 Posted December 30, 2017 For those of you who own two of Roy's previous models (KS1002 and/or RS00) and want to compare their measurements with those of the Memorial jeans, Roy just added this to his site: http://www.roydenim.com/compare-the-numbers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mpukas 1,572 Posted December 31, 2017 I got my RT1002 size 33 from SE, and I found their measurements to be WAY off what I measured when I got the jeans. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orchestrion 102 Posted January 1, 2018 I feel like most of my recent posts have been asking about using the dryer...so here’s another one. Does anyone have experience with putting their black seed denim in the dryer? I’ve had LVCs shrink up quite a bit in the dryer on low heat so I’m wondering if the black seed will be similar. I know this stuff is loomstate so “similar” shrinkage will be a relative concept here but I’m just wondering if consistent dryer usage yields crazy amounts of shrinkage. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

propellerbeanie 951 Posted January 1, 2018 I'm just gonna call it a blessing in disguise that I woke up too late to get them... Looking at it that way makes me feel less shit. I guess I didn't really need them, and I didn't need to spend close to 500 AUD! On a more positive note, good job to all those that could get a pair, and hope it has been a pleasant New Year! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsbenhere 2,697 Posted January 1, 2018 I'm glad I don't want a pair of Roy's anymore, because having to fight to pay 300 bucks for some jeans is a huge turn off to me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spacecadet 58 Posted January 7, 2018 FYI, look out for water temperature on the Memorial jeans. I used extra hot to get max shrinkage and it took off all the red ink on the patch. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On that topic - does anyone know of a method to preserve the ink on leather patches to preserve it during washings? I've had some patches that loose the ink right away, and some that lasts much longer. I don think, however, that some leather treatments, like Obenauf's Leather Oil, can make the ink far less durable. Perhaps the oil somehow disolves the ink and makes it less permanent? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use Bick 4 leather conditioner on all of my patches and while i've only washed them once my KS1001s still have all the ink on the patch. I apply it every so often and apply a generous amount once the patch is dry after washing to help keep it supple. It definitely helps on jeans with thick leather patches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broark 8,474 Posted January 8, 2018 Alright guys, received my Memorial Jeans and wanted to show some comparison shots of my three pairs of black seed denim. Admittedly I'm most likely going to hold onto these jeans for awhile before soaking or wearing them, but I am very tempted to start wearing them now. I find it interesting how much different his denim looks raw vs. washed and worn for awhile. The worn pairs are the RT1002 and the Test Lot jeans. I've probably put 7 to 8 months into the Test Lot jeans and 6 months on the RT1002's. Unfortunately I can't post full photos of the Test Lots, but I can post the front of the jeans. If anyone is interested in seeing them I can send them a picture directly. In the stacked photos the Memorial Jeans are on the bottom, the RT1002's are in the middle and the Test Lot jeans are on top. 22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clark_Jablowski 43 Posted January 9, 2018 Why can't you show the test lots? Does it have to do with the back pocket art? I know that's the case with the CB01s, just never seen the test lot. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broark 8,474 Posted January 9, 2018 When the jeans were sold Roy asked that no one post photos of them online for certain reasons. Don't want to poke and prod the bear. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
