Roy. (expurgated edition)

[eeejayaich]

Thought I would give you guys first opportunity to get these if you want them...I have a pair of R01s size 32, unwashed,  unsoaked and original hem. I bought two pairs thinking Roy was not going to make the cut again. Then I picked up a par of the test lots. 300 +shipping. 

[UkeNo]

They will have shrink left...for the next couple of soaks/washes. 

[eeejayaich]

Fit pics of the KSs picked up from @ecsong187. Thanks for the quick delivery. The fit is pretty much spot on. 

(Excuse the puppy photo bomb.)

[goodrain]

looking for a pair of those in 32 in case anyone was keeping a pair on ice

Does anyone know if Roy accepts PayPal credit? He’s not sure.

[cjfergs]

He accepts PayPal, so no real difference w/ PayPal credit afaik...

[heyson]

Some merchants who accept PayPal do not accept PayPal credit, so I was just curious.

Looks like Roy is sewing up a new batch for Self Edge.

I’m sure I’ll be getting a pair. 

[goodrain]

Since it is for self edge it there should be some taper like the Kinda Specials then

[shredwin_206]

I assume since it’s for SE it’ll be a slimmer fit than the memorial cut he’s done the last few times 

[elmcitizen]

I’m hoping for a slimmer or a taper cut. Would be interesting if it is a special denim as well. 

[Broark]

I think the most exciting aspect is that Roy might be using a denim that isn’t the Black Seed Cone he’s been using for awhile. Don’t get me wrong, I love the stuff but I have four pairs with the same denim.

[SLAB]

only the leftovers from the shop sale will be placed online; really hoping for a tapered fit

How did you figure that might be the case? Or is it  info?

[Broark]

Just guessing, I could be wrong about it!

[goodrain]

if different denim + Kinda Special type of fit, I'll be doing my first ever denim camp-out outside of SELA.

[eeejayaich]

Having several new pairs of Roy’s makes it difficult to justify a new pair. But... @goodrain I will virtually camp-out, crossing my fingers they don’t sell out in store. 

[julian-wolf]

Where's all this info coming from? Don't see anything on either party's website…

edit: Instagram. Shoulda guessed.

My big bros.  I picked these up from eBay in the summer and much of the wear is from the previous owner. I break them out every couple of weeks to add my  character to the denim. Loving these vintage fades!

[Broark]

Looks like we have a photo of the patch. My wallet is ready. 

 

 

[goodrain]

Is that a cloth patch?

[Broark]

@goodrain yup, the Test Lot R01's had one as well.

What was that cut like?

[Broark]

@elmcitizen same cut as the Memorial Jeans, room in the thigh and top block, very slight taper.
Wouldn't to call it a "straight taper" like a lot of brands do now because they're not that tapered at all. I think my 36 has a 9 in. hem or so.
Not sure if they'll be the exact same as the SE jeans despite the nomenclature, we'll see once we get photos and measurements.
I'm just hoping for a different denim, would love this cut in something different.
I've pretty much exclusively wearing my Memorial Jeans lately, the cut has grown on me a lot.

[SmokeStackLightning]

Wouldn't mind trying Roy but his selling model is absolutely maddening and his website feels like a gymnastics routine to find anything.  

Is it safe to assume nothing will make the online store? I can see people buying them all up in store quick. 

[Broark]

Hard telling, depends on the quantity produced.
I'm really hoping they make it online. Based on that photo of they patches he's making quite a few 33's.

[goodrain]

If that is all the 33's I guess each store is getting 3 pairs in each size? Should definitely be some left

[JDelage]

I think of the Memorial jeans as a 1955's cut. They're pretty close to the LVC 1955 and the IH 1955s. Perfect for me...

I'd love the same cut in a different denim. As much as I like them, I don't see the point of ordering the same cut in the same fabric just to get a different patch...

[elmcitizen]

I guess this answers a bunch of questions...
