Roy. (expurgated edition)

[roy6]

I am kicking myself for not buying a pair when I had the chance. I guess I'll just have to wait and see if he ever decides to make them again.

Great fit, Lando.

ROY's just taking a break. He'll be back.

Lando & Vin, both looking very fine.

Lando, hope to see you at the Mini SF ROY meetup on Sat.

[Vinneus]

Meet up, Not fair!

Thanks! I'll be there. Where and when?

[LandoCal126]

Here they are. A little tight in the thigh/ ass for me but I will get them back to how I like them in no time.

So I chose to go with a warm soak of 20 mins and a hang dry. Be careful because this denim shrinks a ton! Below you will find the measurements for the first Post-Soak.

did you order a second pair vin?!

what Vin was going to say was actually that he came in his today,he always gets a bit overexcited about his jeans and the ROY's in general.

[Vinneus]

okay, the Roy thread is my Marcus free safe zone! i dont invade the Eternal thread, or the Scooter club! ...also may i remnd you what i had Roy embrioder on my inside pocket!

[xchen]

guess what showed up today? at a glance they look like they'll fit great after a soak.

[rnrswitch]

I think that fit is working for you LandoCal.

On another note, I also like what ROY is doing with the overlock stitch on the fly. Kinda like a zig-zag overlock.

What's on your inside pocket?

[YoungPunch]

I got my ROY jeans today! I am blown away by the construction quality and details. ROY is the real deal, i am instantly a loyal customer. I can't wait to see what other pieces of clothing he'll be putting out in the future!

you designed it!

ROY tells me this is a very popular request lately:

[LandoCal126]

Thanks everyone. Does anyone have the pre and post soak measurements for a pair of W33's? Thanks!

[xchen]

I'll measure when they dry.

[robbie]

xchen - - those are gonna be awesome after the soak

here is my post-soak fit pic

that's a size 34. i went true to size, so the waist felt just right when it was raw. soaked 25 minutes in warm water and 25 minutes in cold water. i didnt want the waist to shrink too much so i lightly stretched the waistband when it was still wet. fits perfect now, i'm a happy customer. here's the before-and-after measurements:

size 34: raw -> post-soak

waist: 34 -> 33.5

front rise: 11 -> 10.5

back rise: 15.5 -> 15

thigh: 11.5 -> 11.25

knee: 8.75 -> 8.5

hem: 8.5 -> 8

inseam: 34 -> 32

[akka225]

lando: let us know how they stretch out after a couple days' wear. i also got a 32, and 10.5 in thigh is small!

[Vinneus]

interesting FA, my sz 34 thigh was 12.7 raw, just about 12.2 post soak. thank god. i woulda been really fucked in the 11" range.

[xchen]

I was expecting to get a few small scraps of denim with mine. Was more than pleased when I found this in the back pocket of the jeans...

[morse9443]

^that's so you can make your own pair of kids jeans:)

between all the chatter on this thread + the guys website, I'm totally sold on some ROYS for my next pair.

JP took what America once specialized in and made it better...only makes sense that we may someday soon take it back.

[robbie]

With brands like ROY,Raleigh Denim,Imogene + Willie... I'd say handcrafted small batch American denim is back.

I going to end up buying a second pair once he opens up shop just so I can have a slim fit and a slightly baggy fit. Like others I can't wait for him to start selling some other clothing items (ROY chambray please).

[tsunamiboy85]

I am starting to dislike all you guys in the States getting your ROYs! Kidding! Just that, the wait for them to fly halfway across the world is rather painful, made worse seeing all the great fits and shots.

ranonranonarat, any idea when they will be touching down in our sunny island? At least I have a fellow sufferer...

No offense to the others but i think ROY is on a completely other level than the others mentioned.

[Happy Hooligan]

I will buy a pair once he opens shop again... so when are you going to open shop again?

Also Roy are you good with adjusting sewing machines? I've been working with my 110W125 and can't quite get it working just right...

i would like to think that the latest time that they would reach Singapore would be latest the end of next week. they should get here sometime midweek though. have got a few special customizations from ROY, so i can't wait to see how the little surprise looks like. amazing dude, couldn't recommend him more.

[pete rock]

I think angels is measuring his thigh in a different place to you, as there is a big discrepancy in the 2 approximations.

Roy used to have sizing on his site until he stopped doing orders.

interesting FA, my sz 34 thigh was 12.7 raw, just about 12.2 post soak. thank god. i woulda been really fucked in the 11" range.

Roy the jean maker does not reside on this forum
