Roy. (expurgated edition)

[rnrswitch]

Paul T does. The duck looks fabulous.

[robbie]

yeah, it'd be great if these became a part of Roy's offerings. I'd be all over that shit.

(here i'll keep this post relevant, pics borrowed from Cone blog) :

[rnrswitch]

Here are the ROY's doing what they do. Looking good as shit.

[Paul T]

These apparently took him a bit of work. I know he did them as a kind of favor for Cone but would guess they'd cost at least $50 or so if he produced them to sell. That said I'd love a denim version.

[holleman]

That;s a nice looking bag!

A quick question. Cold soaked my Roy's about 2 times.

Will they shrink much after a hot soak?

[rnrswitch]

Paul, could you post some inside out and bottom shots of that bag? Kinda want to see how he put it together. i have been intending to try my hand at making a bag.

[Medine]

and a shot with stuff in it. to see how it looks when being used if thats not too much to ask

[ranonranonarat]

that bag looks fantastic paul. i think it would look great on me.

have you been using it much?

[mikecch]

That;s a nice looking bag!

A quick question. Cold soaked my Roy's about 2 times.

Will they shrink much after a hot soak?

I would think there's still a little bit left, my Roy's shrank quite a bit after their 2nd hot soak.

[roy6]

^I agree, I bet they'll shrink some more with a hot soak, but this denim is stretchy, so they'll probably come back to their present size with some wear, and you'll loose some indigo.

[SLAB]

okay, my apologies for yet another sizing post but i promise to post some fit pictures afterwards. I see a lot of posts advising to go TTS, Im a actual size 30 but always get jeans that measure 29" post soak. Question is go with size 29 or 30 (according to selfedge chart size 29 should measure 29" after wash). Overall measurements of the straight leg seem pretty slim as well?

[grooveholmes]

I'd measure your waist where you want them to hit and then order TTS. Since I like to wear mine a little lower on the hips, I'm a 33.5-- Roy told me to order the 34 if I just wanted the jeans to just sit there. I wasn't disappointed. My fit pics post-cold soak are in this thread at #213. They were a little snug after that soak, and have since stretched out comfortably. By comparison the very next post is Roy6, and he wears his to fit the cut perfectly. So the general rule is, stay TTS.

[aso2004]

I am a true 36. I took the 36 and I am happy.

So the TTS route seems to be the way to go.

I would watch the inseam too...

Found that to be a bit on the long side.

[to><ikon]

Go with 30s. They'll be more comfortable.

[Medine]

^I strongly agree

[rnrswitch]

I was poking around ROY's website and found this under the "shop" tab. What the fuck?

Mind explosion.

[Paul T]

typically devilish comments from someone on 6.666 posts - and, in this instance, wrong...

[cheapmuthafukr]

i get paid to give my commentary, not to be right.

looking forward to where this is going... roy looks like he makes some damn nice jeans.

667 - the neighbour of the beast

[Medine]

You guys have no idea how excited I am for those slanted front pockets.

Thanks a bunch to everyone that organized!

[Medine]

This is going to be the best new years ever

hmm, intrigued by this, very curious to see if any more details emerge.

[grooveholmes]

I just pooped my pants. Or, to follow the theme of this thread, I expurgated that which was in my bowels into my pants.

[smittybat]

I guess only urcc members have the password

[TallyHo]
