Roy. (expurgated edition)

[goodrain]

I have two pairs on ice that I picked up during the pandemic, Big Bro 1 and Kinda Special 2. Not sure when I will get to them. Since the pandemic and WFH I pretty much only wear pants with elastic waist bands now. But it's not like I need the money so I guess I will just keep them in case I go back to wearing jeans in the next 30-40 years.

[goodrain]

Pending. Thanks

It was my second offer, but was able to get them and I’m very happy!

[andrewrose]

Shirt arrived today. Goin places.

 

[goodrain]

gonna need fit pics. I hesitated because the measurements looked thin/long

[andrewrose]

@goodrainWill do, might be a few days until I can though with work/etc.

[andrewrose]

Not great mirror shot, but hopefully this gives some idea of the fit. Definitely slimmer and the white fabric is pretty gauzy. I’m 5’10” and 135 lbs, slim/athletic build. Went with a small which is what I take in all tshirts I can think of. It’s a 50/50 cotton poly blend, so hopefully no shrink, but it feels like it’ll stretch right back out too. With the TCB WW2 contest pair and their very high waist.

[goodrain]

looks great on you!

[srudy]

Happy Birthday ROY!!!!!

[Smallrod]

[Smallrod]

Thank you!

Big Bro Peanuts (size 34) listed on a popular auction website, pre-owned & price adjusted for scarcity.

A pair of the duck work pants (size 34) also available at a more popular price.

[goodrain]

lol 950 for peanuts? they aint that scarce

[UkeNo]

I prefer the £1127 Grateful Dead T-shirt to the Roy ducks listed

[goodrain]

Super accurate, I just had a guy message me about an old jacket I have for sale that’s listed for 90 bucks. He said “bro can you please drop this to $40?” Yeah sure, after fees and shipping I’ll take the 25 dollar sale.

you have that discipline! I have no patience and usually just allow myself to get lowballed.

[goodrain]

I had a once-worn Engineered Garments chore jacket on this forum for $80 shipped and nobody was interested, but yea someone will pay you a G for Peanuts Pants with your balls sweat on them

Sooner or later the bigger fish will bite, just takes a little time sometimes. But in this situation (the Roy’s for almost a grand) I don’t think there’s a market for that. If I ever sold any of my pairs (which I don’t think I ever will) I would only list them for a small percentage over MSRP depending on the state of them. I think this is roughly a 300% markup.

Here are some progress updates on my Roy x SE R01 (Cloth Patch) after a 4th/5th soak/wash. I believe they have a total 1.5~ year of religious wear. Black Seed denim is such stubborn fade, but loving how these are turning out so far. Kind of difficult to capture the true color of this denim, but I tried my best...

I have quite a bit of Roy denim in my collection that I want to eventually get to, but from the looks of how much life is left on this current pair, I'm not sure when I'll ever be getting to them 

FYI, the lighting is a bit off on the back pockets that looks like one side is more faded, which isn't the case.

Beautiful @tewsday. How tight/loose of a fit are they on you?

Thanks @heyson. They honestly fit me perfect and is a relatively loose fit (what you’d expect from a R01 classic straight jean). They did shrink a bit from the washes/soaks, but nothing significant. I’ll be sure to post an updated fit pic when I get the chance. To get an idea, I posted a fit of me wearing them new a while a back (link below):

I see you also have the same pair. You’re making good progress on them. Keep wearing em hard
