Roy. (expurgated edition)

[kiya]

so.....check the tracking # for my Roys 3:20 p.m......"Delivered, on porch 3:12 p.m." yay!!!! thats surprising cuz I've been home all day and didn't here the doorbell or dogs bark.....check porch.....nothing....... call fedex...ok your case # is all set up we'll call in 24 hours........ and they're 34's ugh....

Call them back and tell them to get a hold of the driver and find out where he put it. They're going to want to talk to the receiver, hence why it's useless if Self Edge calls for you.

[flatpattern]

driver just showed up and put them on my steps.......I said these were reported delivered at 3:12 by my tracking number. he shrugged and rode off lol....they said they had 24-48 hours to call me back because it was going to take that long to hunt the driver down and talk to him,.....thanks Kiya I appreciate your help. I'm just happy they are here, now for some pics!

RS2 drying now....these are beautiful jeans! the stitching on mine is spot on, almost scary perfect. the gold chainstitch on the hem is also very nice, different threads all around very well thought out. color is beautiful steel blue with nice slubbing.

[Layne]

There's no fucking way flatpattern is the only sufu member to purchase these jeans.

Where are the pics????

He is most definitely not....mine are probably being hemmed at the moment

UPS have still got mine....

Think I'll leave this thread until mine arrive.

Hearing all the details from flatpattern is just too much

[robbie]

blah blah blah...

chainstitch blah, BLAH,blah,blah,blah,blah blah,blah,blah blah blah blah blah blah

FFS post some pics already

[misterh]

Waiting on my pair.

[tomtheimpaler]

My pairs in the mail.

[flatpattern]

took 12 hours to air dry

[parky]

You didn't wear em to bed?

The cut looks very similar to the 1st gen straight leg. Can you take a macro shot of the fabric?

[robbie]

84 pairs sold, and we've only seen a single pair?

Dude, selfedge.com only keeps count of the SF store's inventory. I'm sure both LA and NYC have a ton there... But I'm sure there are more people on here who have been to lazy to post fit pictures...

[robbie]

ohh, ok. My point still stands. There are 100 pairs, and we've only seen 1(well 2, if you count selfedge.com). Where are the pictures?

I'm betting a lot of people are being delayed by chain stitching. I know I couldn't pull off a 39" inseam.

[flatpattern]

Was hoping someone w/ a real camera and some photos skills would show up but here you go for now.

slubby goodness

[beautiful_FrEaK]

nice fabrix. son't look that slubby at all. reminds me a bit of the warehouse 800 denim I just handled (1000XX denim)

[UkeNo]

Mine have arrived. Look great but i don't have any real time to play with them today - will inspect/photograph/soak tomorrow and get some pictures up.

They look like they will fit well at the moment post-soak

Flatpattern yours are 34" too right? so far 34" (yours) are the best looking Pair of RS2's out there!

[flatpattern]

yep 34" they have very minimal shrinkage, I soaked in warm water for 2 hours. Mine bled like crazy so I tried not to move them much. I dont want to cut the beautiful gold chainstitch hem off.

[UkeNo]

I dont want to cut the beautiful gold chainstitch hem off.

I know.... The hem detail is great but they are sooooo Long.

They're 39" pre-Soak right. Even with a Boil wash that'll only reduce by 2-3" And I don't have 36" legs. Need a 32" ish.

My RS1 haven't been hemmed, and I love them but I wear a double cuff and they're shorter.

Might go see The Clerk in Brighton for a Matched-thread chain-stitch hem.

Wonder if the RS2 hem matches the Cone comp threading?

Post some more pictures people.

Edit: i've measured the RS2s and they are not longer than the RS1 when dry. Actually 0.5" Shorter @ 39.0" Inseam.

[Happy Hooligan]

they remind me of Lee's for some reason... but with bigger pockets

[mackie]

fabric on those looks lovely. looking forward to some more pics!

xpost from evo, narrows at ~6 months

more pics of these, with proper camera, after a wash.

[akka225]

i have the og roys and it's the big back pockets that prevent me from getting these (they just look weird on me), sad b/c i'm a big fan of roy

[UkeNo]

Here's Some Pictures of my 34" Nihon Menpu Roy RS2's pre-first soak.

This material is incredible - unlike anything I've owned before. It looks Slightly darker maybe grayer than the Cone Mills Denim

I've got them soaking now. I'll post up pre and post soak measurements when they're dry.

Thanks.

I can see what Roy meant in regards to the denim...Looks amazing!

[robbie]

seriously, I'll be interested to see how the denim breaks on these. Like someone else said, the nihon on this batch looks a little bit greyer.

[itylerstewart]

Good god UkeNo. Those are amazing =O

[Dochunter]

Sorry. In bad taste. I wussed out. Hah.

[smittybat]

^^ I think you already did last week.
