Roy. (expurgated edition)

[louisbosco]

well, bought these roys when the were on sale couple weeks back. but only had time now to post them as i was in camp.

amazing details

super thick leather patch

[shoreman]

RS2s. Second hot soak in hopes of getting, at the very least, .5-1 inch off the inseam.

[misterh]

exciting day. had to post.

[shoreman]

Could have chopped another inch off the inseam, but this'll do. I'm happy with the fit, but the denim itself is going to take some time getting used to. (21oz is a heluva drug.)

[robbie]

21 oz Denim? I think you might be in the wrong thread pal. I could be wrong but I don't think Slaper has done any work with that heavy of denim yet.

[shoreman]

…I'm saying this denim is going to take some time to get used to because I am accustomed to 21 oz. Savvy?

[big truck]

They fit well Shoreman and you will be purer for embracig the true artisan spirit!

[robbie]

I see, my mistake.

[smittybat]

Bigger cuffs will solve your inseam problem.

[shubharamani]

OK, now I'm really fucking confused. Please someone answer, is the dude in this photo ROY ?

It's driving me nuts. This dude doesn't look like the ROY in the WAYWT (Jeans) thread !

I've never met ROY before (I'd love to though...maybe this December, around Holiday time ?

I'll be in SF - we should do a ROY meetup of sorts)...but honestly, but for his skinny,

lanky physique and hair color, the dude in this photo does not resemble ROY to me !

Roy (the guy behind the brand) is not roy6.

The guy above is Roy, the guy behing ROY (brand).

You can call him Mr. Slaper

[shubharamani]

So are you telling me that roy6 is not ROY ? Who the fuck is roy6 then ? All this time,

I've presumed that roy6 was Mr. Slaper, the dude who makes ROY jeans. Oh God, this is all

too complicated. Please clarify more ! Why doesn't Mr. Slaper, the dude who actually crafts the ROY

jeans, ever post on WAYWT ? (No slam against you, roy6 -- you seem like

an ultra cool dude). Fuck ! My whole world has been turned upside down.

Roy (the guy behind the brand) is not roy6.

[beautiful_FrEaK]

well..there's nothing more to say about it.

roy6 is a nice dude from SF (I think), has a bucnh of LVC and stuff and knows Roy Slaper.

Mr. Slaper produces jeans and because of that, is way too busy to take WAYWT-pics

Thanks for the deeper clarity Beautiful_Freak. Honestly, I had no idea...I always thought roy6

was THE ROY.

Anyway, no matter. roy6, you are an amazing SuFu contributor and

SuFu would be at a net loss without your incredible fits along

with witty words and humor and ROY SLAPER,

you da man, you are an incredible artisan with talent

I can only dream of...and...I simply love your jeans !

[robbie]

I think Roy Slaper lurks occasionally as evidenced by a handful of things, but he's not a member. I'll echo the fact he's busy and also add that he doesn't strike me as being as interested in clothing/shoes/fashion/typical sufu fare as your average member. That's just what i've witnessed though. He might have an account, I think he has 4 or 5 posts on styleforvm.

Pretty much sums it up. But you forgot to mention he's a modern dandy.

Except when he's modeling his ducks for SE.

[Maynard Friedman]

roy6's real name is Cuthbert, so if you refer to him by that in future, it should help to avoid confusion.

Also you can send him your jeans for him to customize using his dremel + bits (see Roy6's pics in the RoyxCone contest thread)

Roy Slaper and I are separate entities and not related in any genetic or legal way . Just a shared nickname.

For the record, Roy is my actual middle name, while Fauntleroy Slaper's is an abbreviation.

[clayton]

Almost acquired a pair RS1's but it didn't work out with the seller. It's too bad I'd been waiting for the right size and admiring his work for some time. He's an Artiste.

Cool with Mr. Slaper on 189.

^Shoreman - Don't they fit? Not like them?

Sure they'll be snapped up. Great Price too.

[shoreman]

Great jeans, I just took a chance on a 30 when I should have opted for a 31, I'm hoping someone grabs them and puts them to good use.

[raginberriodoom]

Size 30 Roy RN1s for sale. One hot soak, minimal wear. They just don't fit me anymore , so I'd like to get them a new home! PM me if interested.
