Roy. (expurgated edition)

[grooveholmes]

Finally, Roy's making more duck trousers! Maybe there will still be a pair in my size in ten days when my house sells

Somehow, I think we'll be seeing a major sufu spending spree when that happens.

[shoreman]

I was really hoping those would fly under the radar so I could scoop up a pair. Ha.

Here's a short video of Roy explaining the construction of the pocket bags:

Black Selvedge Stash Pocket is my favorite part!!! Yes it it selvedge. Insane.

[elclintor]

Those are awesome...

[robbie]

Man those pockets are something else!

There is the line of stitching on the back pockets, are they lined?

Yup 3/4's.

[erockisalive]

Holy crap, those are so nice.

[Gnob]

And he modeled the pants himself....

The construction and details.... really awesome!

[aerander]

very nice indeed..wish they came in below 30'' too

How would you access the pocket on the pocketbag? Wouldn't it look like you're reaching down towards your crotch?

[kit99bar]

interesting point dawei. The pocket should be on the inside of the pocket bag...

I was waiting for this to come up.. the inside pocket isn't really something to question, it's Roy's way of hiding a pocket bag that he didn't want to include on the outside of the pant. It's more of a design element, and if you really want to use it it'd be a great "stash" pocket.

[beatle]

this one is great for hiding , you know what, frisk safe....

but yes, might be a bit akward to retrieve stuff from there, like unbottoning ur pants in public...

[grooveholmes]

Well, at first I thought it was superfluous, but now I suppose by "stash" we're referring to what rhymes with..

[shubharamani]

kiya, why is the Sz 30 in the new ROY ducks so huge?? Even after shrinkage, I`ll be swimming in those. I have purchased W31 from SelfEdge before and they were not flattering on me. These ROY ducks Sz 30 will shrink down to a W 31.5 and will stretch back out to a W32 which makes them unwearable by many SuFu`ers. As the owner of two pair of ROY denim-Nihon & narrows in Sz 30, I can safely say that ROY stuff stretches AT LEAST an inch if not more. I`m certain that my ROYs are a W30 now if not more, after frequent wear, post initial hot wash & tumble dry. With ROYs, they're eventually gonna fit sizewise exactly like they fit brand new...but better/not as stiff.

[gruntle]

The 1st pair offered on SE, initial soak.

[shubharamani]

And, the bright side is..I just saved $340. I already own a pair of Sz 30 IH ducks which are super nice but I like ROY stuff better.

I agree that the fit and look of these is more preferable than that of the IH Duck loggers--at least based on the flics I've seen. However, you didn't have to deal with sizing restrictions. You decided that you wanted a pair, bingo bango, they were yours--and in a timely fashion to boot, no doubt.

I'm sure that these will do extremely well and that the outcry for more will inevitably induce another run at some point, so I'm not going to fret too much. I can't wait to see people around here wearing them.

[reallypeacedoff]

Here's hoping that he does a black run! Would instant cop those too...

[xEMBx]

Hey,

Self edge has just pu the RS1 & RN1 on sale at $180. A great price if you can fit into whats left!

Eff not getting paid until next Friday,:confused:

[shoreman]

Now I have no idea if these will fit. I recently came into possession of a pair of SG 2105 in size 29 whose waist is supposed to--according to kiya--measure 30.5. I can't even get these things half way up my ass. No doubt, with some work over the next month, I'll make them fit, but it has me wondering if the 30 in the Roy Ducks might work.

In my opinion, go TTS with ROYs. Sz 30s are a tad loose on me after frequent wear but that's how I like them. When I got them fresh, they were a little snug for my tastes. Shrunk em up, they're even snugger. Now they're back to where they were pre-hot-soak when I first got em, even bigger. IMHO, the ROYs turn out just right if you go TTS...not too tight, not too loose.

So, regardless of whether SE's measurements have them measured as 32", I should be able to make ROY's size 30 work?

[zissou]

Those sure look great. Duck bags are the way to go. Way too slim for my taste, though.

In this case, go with the ROY Sz 30 only if your True Waist is 32. Looks like you`ve lost out though cuz every size is SOLD OUT.

Shub, they don't go on sale until the 20th...

[akka225]

rise on ducks is pretty low for roy, so the bigger waist is not that crazy..

[flatpattern]

the more I think about it the better I like the idea that these aren't in the traditional straight leg. We have plenty of ducks in that style and it will be new to see ducks cut in this slimmer fit. Can't wait to see them around town.

I sure love my Roy nihon. His stitching is razor sharp.
