^ Great look, el.
Alright, so I am committed to grabbing a pair of RS2s, but am a bit uncertain as to how to size these guys. I wear a 31 in the IHXB01 and the fit is spot-on. I messaged kiya with respect to the fit of the RS2s and he said that the 30 would likely be my best bet as the B01 is made smaller. However, with that in mind, there are a lot of similarities between the B01 and the SG2105 size 29–as per SEs measurements--and the latter proved to be too small, even with an intense break-in period. I'll have to hem these prior to having them shipped out, due to the intense nature of the inseam, and as such will not be able to return them if they don't fit.
Can anyone provide some insight? All input will be appreciated.

I understand the appeal of the Roys, I dig the one-man operation and crazy construction details and all that.
Not trying to hate at all.
But I gotta be honest I don't think I've ever seen a pair of worn-in Roys that wowed me. Granted I haven't gone looking extensively, and what I like is only my opinion, but that's my truth.
I'd be happy for someone to link to a well worn pair and change my mind.
I should say the World Tour pair looks quite good, and so perhaps the new jeans with the Nihon denim will wear like those, but the Cone denim just doesn't do it for me.
On the other hand, literally ever pair of worn 634sr I've ever seen look really good. -
i have a few pairs of jeans made with cone denim and clint is right….they take a long time to fade. my first gen lvc 47's took years but now theyre beaten all to hell. the crotch blew out last week though....so theyre dead.

I would go true to size shoreman..
or down 1 if you want to stretch them..

The RN1 is nice, but I don't wear them too often. I didn't get them hemmed, and they still have a 37.25" inseam after plenty of soaking. My usual inseam is on 32

The cone denim fades really slow..
yeah one of the reasons i do love cone denim. i have seen some pretty worn amazing ones on sufu jaco. i'll try and hunt you a link

So, I received my Ducks and RSIIs and I have to say, after dealing with solely IH for the last several months, these ducks seem paper-thin. I'm seriously concerned I am going to rip them apart one day if I happen to mindlessly undo the buttons too quickly. At least, that's my initial reaction. I'll pop back in with an update after they've been worn a couple of times.

Yeah, even I was surprised when I tried them on. I bought them fully expecting them to be on the loose side, given the waist measuring 32. But, the low rise makes up for it. Granted, they're a bit slim, but paired with an equally slim shirt, light-weight shirt and these will make for perfect summer pants.
Thanks for the kind words, Finn.
