here's the tour jeans before they get sent back to SF, skin tight on me- no way I could wear these around without losing 6-8Lbs

@Sansome1877, remind me of the actual waist measurement? 

[julian-wolf]

They were right around 34” when I had them a couple years back, but that was towards the start so I’d bet they’ve shrunk a bit more since

[Sansome1877]

I can measure them tonight, I would guess there a solid 34, maybe less- but I’ve chunked up in the past 2 weeks.

@julian-wolf neg rep is spilling over from other threads, that’s interesting

No wonder these were killing me- waist is 33 1/2

[eeejayaich]

Thanks @Sansome1877! It’s a shame I missed those. They would have fit me. If they ever go on tour again, put my name on the list.

SOLD!

Same here. I have a size 36 that shrinks to just under 34" at the waist with each wash. The waist stretches back out, eventually, but it is a long and painful 10-14 days before they are comfortable again.

[heyson]

@Jared_Lee I started washing these hard and frequently really early on, so I’m not getting the gratification seeing much contrast, you know? I wish I would have hemmed early on too.

I love the construction as with all roy jeans, and I do love black seed fabric. 

[Jared_Lee]

I hear you @heyson. For me, the contrast that you have going looks just right. All the whiskers are there as shade gradients rather than hard shade difference. With continued wear and wash, those look on track for a beautifully balanced fade. But this shit is all completely subjective.

[JohnM]

I'm a natural size 35 (and most of my Roy jeans are 34), so like Josh'N'Roll, it can be two weeks before the waist stretches out to the comfort zone.  Compared to other denim (certainly Full Count), I find Cone not particularly stretchy, maybe due to the tightness of weave.

If I had it to do over again, I'd buy some of the trimmer Roy models (e.g., Kinda Special) in 36 rather than 34.  I'll try to keep this in mind when Roy brings them back ;-)

[goodrain]

in this situation I usually just don't button the top button and close the jeans with a belt

[heyson]

i also find the black seed to be quite stubborn. the above pair is sized down 1 also, so i like to wear while damp to help stretch out the waist.  here they are next to another pair that gets less washing

 

[mattymo]

Here is my R01 black seed denim. Worn about everyday for 2 years washing probably every week.

[heyson]

@mattymo so effing gorgeous 

[lophophora]

anyone a size 30? considering selling a lightly used pair of RT1002 (hemmed to 29) , pics to follow  if we are in the mood

[dawei94]

Roy RS04, many wears and washes. Crotch blew out and is in for repairs at SESF now

[shredwin_206]

my good buddy is a farmer. Here are his Leroy’s 

[heyson]

@shredwin_206 are these a different pair than the ones of your farmer friends you’ve posted in the past?

[julian-wolf]

Those are great. Which fabric, do you know? Doesn’t look like Black Seed.

Which were made using Black Seed! I have a raw pair of these stored away for a rainy day. 

[julian-wolf]

Wild. I can’t imagine either of my Black Seed pairs ending up looking anything like that, no matter what sort of wear I put into them

Love to see it

Memorials!

Beautiful @breakingfad
