Roy's Jeans - The Cone Mills Project - Straight & Narrow Fits

Roy Slaper is back with his first denim jean release in many months. This long overdue set of jeans is made up of a custom fabric from Cone Mills made exactly to Roy's specs. This is the first time in over three decades that Cone has produced an unsanforized fabric for anybody, and therefore we feel that this is history in the making.

The denim is a loomstate unsanforized indigo denim that clocks in at 13oz per square yard in it's raw state. The fabric has a slight gray-cast to it and feels far heavier than it's stated weight due to it's weave and loomstate nature.

The jeans themselves come in two fits, both a slim and a straight leg. Both silhouettes are slightly modified from past iterations of Roy's straight and slim fits.

Never content with just "doing another run", Roy has improved and tweaked everything surrounding the production of these jeans. The stitching of the body is even finer and more accurate and we love the fully lined back pockets and coin pocket; i don't believe we've ever seen a lined coin pocket on a pair of jeans before. The rear pocket hems now have a hand-done welt in them, mimicking the vintage style belt-loops found on many of the best Japanese brands. And last but not least the back pockets have been slightly reduced in size from past versions.

Jeans from Roy don't come often and we can't keep them in stock as long as we'd like, so if you've been waiting for a pair, now is the time.

So any news on said leather patch contest? Im very interested.

[mikecch]

I like that skirting leather for the patch - lots of evo potential right there

[UkeNo]

So I'm trying to decide on a size for the RS3 Straights.

This is my problem.

I have the RS1 in a size 32 which are slightly too small in the waist and a size 34 in the RS2 which are. Tad loose.

The logical (or not) conclusion would be to go for tag size 33 in the new model. But looking at the size charts I think the waist might be a bit snugg on a 32 and too loose on the 33 as the legs on the RS3's are wider than before.

Ahh the age old sizing question.

Kiya, dare I ask how to size these and how much shrinkage is likely to happen?

Thank guys

(apologies too - I know this question is done to death over this forum but I'm a bit stumped this time)

Cheers

so just putting this out there now that there new roys. but if anyone has a pair of size 31 BNB1 that they want to part with, would love to get my hands on another pair

[leftyaxeslinger]

For those who can't spring for the new ones, I'm willing to work out a deal on these. Just too tight on me plus I have another pair of roys...

Both SENY and SELA have some left if you'd like to place a phone order.

i can't justify buying $300+ jeans, but the price is spot on for a one man operation with that much quality, which makes it even more ridiculous that lvc is priced so close now

lamenting the $150 days

GTFO then.

[grooveholmes]

thanks, kiya. ordered.

re: goominim. he was just expressing his own opinion and added a good observation about lvc. i can't justify spending $200+ on jeans, and $300+ is just fiscally irresponsible with bills i have to pay. even IF they're made by hand. my way around it: i don't try to justify it.

i'm officially retiring from purchasing jeans for at least two years. i done maxed out my spending for 2011 and beyond. but what a way to go out!

You're a good man if you can stick to that resolve.

[grooveholmes]

i can do it. there are definitely newer kids on my radar (old blue, benzak, railcar), but i'll have to wait. fortunately i've hit some of the best in the biz this year: ande whall, tender (william kroll), and roy. not a bad haul.

sizing question, should i go true size on new Roy's? got the nihon with 32 tagged size for reference

Edited December 23, 2011 by RABIND

[shoreman]

Come on, man; figure that shit out. Grab some jeans, bust out the measuring tape and decide what's going to work best for you based on the expected shrinkage. And if that was another joke then you fucking suck. Seriously.

Get a size 32 in the RS03, if you're going with the RN03 then maybe you should go up a size to 33.

great! thanks kiya

[thirdhand]

Ready for the patch contest. Mine is already a little blue from my MF Liberty belt.

[Eyeq8402]

If anyone has a pair of black and blues in size 33 or 34 they want to part with please shoot me a pm. Thank you.

[plongin]

popped by self edge a few days ago to try on the new Roys RN03 in a 28. The denim is a beauty and the leather patch is solid. Unfortunately was looking for a slim fit thats very close to the pbjsxx005 and these seem a little bit looser in the thighs!

Of course thats before shrinkage, if anyone has photos of the RN03s fit after initial wash, pls share!

[shubharamani]

You're a good man if you can stick to that resolve.

yup. and grooveholmes, i'm right there with you bro. let's give each other moral support. I always feel nauseous when I'm around "too much stuff"...and that's what motivates me away from accumulating more. Responsible financial behavior is important...but what's the point of having loads of stuff in your closet which you'll never have time to wear ?

[Goominim]

the originals are the best. he's been over-designing them since.

Haven't seen any wear pictures on original Roys so here are mine.
