Roy. (expurgated edition)

[readytoignite]

just got mine in, many thx to andrew and amardeep.  sizing wise it's interesting, it's a boxier cut than the chambray but i'm not sure i could have sized down to an imaginary xs because of the chest.  i suspect it's meant to worn off the shoulder a bit.

 

assume it's handwash because of the buttons?  fabric is nuts, even smells awesome

[CityPickin']

Yeah. Amazing shirt. Very wearable.....it's just a really easy shirt to have on, as long as I don't get too distracted by the intricacies of the fabric. I was thinking about sizing down; glad I didn't.

[cool_hand]

did anyone find the shirt a bit on the short side?

did anyone find the shirt a bit on the short side?

Yeah, I found the sz small to be too short for my liking. Other than that it's a brilliantly constructed piece.

If anyone is interested in trading their sz M for a sz S let me know or if interested in a direct purchase I'll knock off an extra 25 and sell it for $345.

Somebody scribbled all over the knee of my RN1s with a sewing machine

 

[llvlaglne]

Dkatz- where'd you get it done?

[itsbenhere]

that denim looks so perfect

[llvlaglne]

Itsbenhere - how are your buck tites?

[dkatz]

Repairs done by SE.  I'll get some more pictures in the near future.

Itsbenhere - how are your buck tites?

 

a little too "tite" now :'( I'm not sure if i didnt get all the shrinkage out at first of if they shrunk more in the wash

[Billthebutchr]

Thinking about having my Bucks tapered.

Recommendations?

A great piece of Roy over at Rawrdenim:

^Billthebutchr...

Aren't the Buck-Tite's quite narrow already?

Tapering such a narrow silouete might be tricky.

Tapering can work well but I think the jean needs to be proportionately correct for the new taper to look right.

For example if the jean has a roomier seat, thigh amd knee then the taper can be gradual and look subtle.

I'm not so sure a taper on an already Slim fit will have the same result.

I'd leave them myself.

Plus....New Roys next month. You could sell them on and buy the new pair. Rumoured to be another cut. Fingers crossed its a halfway between the Buck-Tite and the SF1.

Im hoping that The Rawrdenim link above is right and they'll have a cinch.

ukeno- not long ago kiya from selfedge had posted measurements of a prototype. looks like to me it'll be similar to a flat head 3009 cut or a strike gold 1109 but with a cinch. i hope mister roy goes with duck pocket bags again.

I was lucky enough to get a pair of Roy Duck-1 used this week and I love them. So now of course I want to try the jeans - which I'll have to find used as well (HWDC contest be damned).

 

I've been back and forth with the SE sizing tables and they only tell so much - does anyone have an opinion as to which cut feels most like the Ducks?

 

And, thinking I might go a different direction since the only pair easily found in my size new is the Buck-Tites, how has the rise and thigh shrinkage been with those? 

 

Thanks!

[reallypeacedoff]

I still think the OG Ducks were the best. ROY is the shit!

[itsbenhere]

Also selling my bucktites in a size 32 hemmed to 31.5. PM for interests. 

[ColdStorage]

Just picked up a Small PORTLAND shirt, with tag still attached, and its sadly too small for me. Looking to trade straight across for a medium. Please get in touch if you are looking to size down.

[WilliamCutting]

Can't wait until the 16th so I can figure out if I need to come up with $800. The wait is killing me!

[cool_hand]

Wanted: SF-01 size 34.

Someone selling a Portland shirt, Medium for $330.

[garden gnomes in space]

yikes, $330 for a used, never washed shirt with a hole in it.  no thanks

[bradl]

Worth it to try and haggle the price down, know others who have so worth a try. But couldn't remember the price, so wasn't sure if it was a deal or not. Just know I haven't seen many for sale.

[itsbenhere]

Agreed, that particular shirt is probably worth about 200 now, if that...

[zwer]

Pretty sure the seller is a regular on the IH forum. $300 is a pipe dream.

[cool_hand]

A very nice shirt but $300 used and damaged = deluded.

 

Surprisingly Selfedge still have quite a few left in L and XL.

 

A future classic.

[ColdStorage]

It is the first medium I have seen since they sold out at SE. Good luck to him I guess.

 

In other news:

So many amazing details, not the least of which is the duck underside on the buckleback. 

[kiya]

Oh wow.. that is too good.

[garden gnomes in space]

i want a pair so bad but I just cant.
