@cents - granted theres some room in the seat, I don't see it being an issue compared to comfort. A size down would have been too tight in the knee imo. That's one tricky thing about this pants cut. I'd soak them to get the chemicals out, the shrinkage is indeed minimal but still.

quack quack!

diggin the decoys markmont!

Vintage ducks, quack quack.

EDIT: Robbie beat me to it.

Mark, the ducks look great

[stingray1381]

My Roy ducks in 33". I was really worried that they would be too big because according to Self Edge they are a 35" in the waist. Really happy with the fit as I think it's just about the perfect size.

yeah that's really a good fit!

[stingray1381]

Thanks. I'm really loving this cut. The construction is really unreal as well. These are my first Roy's, but he has a new loyal customer.

I just recieved my RN-1 from SF. It seems that its slighty tight even before soaking them , i doubt i would be able to wear them if i gave them a soak.

Is there any disadvantages of not soakin them?

Perfect. I'm pissed I didn't get a pair.

If it's any consolation, the online store burnt through sizes 30 through 32 within something like 20 minutes following release. Must be plenty of folks who're just as pissed, too.

Hey Harri, They are unsanforized, So you should give it a soak to remove the starch etc... Give them a cold soak. Rn1 has very tight upper block, but the waist will expand a bit, from my exp, almost an inch. But the rise will remain the same, as it is.

There isn't any disadvantage - except you'll be putting off the inevitable. The duck varies, but my experience with a couple of items it that shrinkage was only 5%. However, there's no reason you must shrink now, unless you want a softer feel and hence want to get rid of the starch that was used in the manufacture of the fabric.

[Gnob]

^no, Paul. I think he is referring to rn1 cones. Regardless, your info is right about ducks..

[Paul T]

my bad... .

[reallypeacedoff]

Kinda saw this coming, just not after a second wear. Wondering if I should get this bar tacked or riveted...

[grooveholmes]

what the... how did... explain, please.

[shoreman]

Ugh? And you're the dude with the pretty loose fit, right? You know what? Given everything I've heard about Roy just by reading through this thread, I'd bet if you e-mailed him he'd take care of this personally, given that it's only been, what? A matter of weeks that you've had them?

[reallypeacedoff]

My girlfriend unbuttoned my pants (no joke) and the stitching came undone. When I first put them on, I thought, have to be careful with these as it does seam delicate compared to my other jeans for some reason. I mean, I have 10+ pairs and none of them have done that. Now that that is unravelling, I'm hoping it wont destroy the integrity of the jean at the crotch seam.

Understandable; bishes can be impatient when it comes to dong.

[kiya]

Here's the bright side, in the over 400 pairs of jeans/pants Roy has made for sale through Self Edge, this'll be the first one coming back for construction issues. That's damn good, especially coming from a guy that sells mostly Japan made jeans.

Regardless, send them to SESF asap, we'll pay for shipping both ways, fix em and send them back.

[lysandar]

Hope it didn't spoil the occasion

Thus the reason I'm always a repeat customer.

Haha. Actually didn't notice until the next morning when I was walking home. Was wondering why it was a little airy down there.

[lysandar]

Hahaha appreciate the heads up. I'll be extra careful when it comes to my Roy ducks and female hands.

I enjoyed an impromtu al fresco nap in my roys this weekend.

and when I woke up, I discovered this at the place I was staying!

[shoreman]

Kiya's that dude.

Some brand new Roy's are available in the B&S forum. Size 32 and they're priced well below the $275 retail.
