Honestly I did, but the pic he posted looked so different from what I saw on SE that I did not think it was the same pants! And I did not read his post carefully. My bad…

[elclintor]

They are not black, very very dark indigo.

The leather tag, stitching, and pocketing are black.

Thus the name, "black n blue"

Ducks in an indigo sauce?  they do look good on you el.

to the duck topic, i got a pair of the ducks cause you know i wanted a pair of ducks (that weren't doubleknee & they don't do anything for me really. i might appreciate them more as the weather warms up a bit. when ever i get around to wearing i'll post a flick.)

Feel like an idiot for missing out missing out on the black and blues. Anyone with a size 34 that wants to part with a pair pm me. Thank you.

Currently sitting in my office in my Black-n-Blues, which I ordered on the day they became available because I loved the SE-Ducks that I had picked up previously.  Both of these pants are beautifully made and should age nicely.  I would classify them both as light-to-medium weight casual pants as opposed to real heavy work pants.  The Ducks are slim fitting, with a low rise and the BNBs are more of a slim straight design with a slightly higher rise.  Both show off Roy's incredible sewing skills.  The BNBs are probably my favorite non-denim pants, but be aware that they do bleed a lot (more like hemorrhage).

Never????

Never is like forever lando, doesn't seem like that long 'till you get a bit more perspective.

How right you were Monday. I have just snagged the pair of W32 Roy BnB's from RocknRoll. Ready for my second attempt at Roy and his work.

Just read this. Insane news.

"just had a long talk with roy about this next batch of jeans coming out this week. i'm a bit stunned to find out exactly what the denim is… for the first time in over three decades cone mills has produced a run of unsanforized fabric for a brand. this fabric is actually produced for roy to his exact specifications, only 500 yards were made. if you understand the way mills work this should sound like a flat-out lie. it's not. i myself have a hard time digesting the fact that this happened. it's a test to see how it pans out between roy and cone. this is serious history in the making.

I think you'll dig em…. I love mine!

[madmonday]

no hate on the above news, but i have to say how i really feel.

how does this impact the product & the customer?  are prices going to escalate further? is the product going to be better? otherwise the denim can come from XXXXX location as long as the product is dope.

as usual i'll be watching & cheering for these dudes, but i'm also a bit apprehensive about what this will really mean to me, the  freckin' hard working consumer.

[elclintor]

I'll pass on the new ones if they raise the price point…

[J-IV]

Well, as everything nowadays is, the price point will probably change. And as in change, I mean raise further. It seems like the price on cotton is only going up.
With that being said, I'm pretty sure Kiya will keep the price in mind if or when he orders these, it he hasn't already.

But its supply and demand. And it looks like Roys are in high demand.

@J-IV:

…. I'm pretty sure Kiya will keep the price in mind if or when he orders these, it he hasn't already....

Roys are sold exclusively through self edge now. Kiya will get all that Roy produces. They go on sale in 3
days.

[J-IV]

Thanks for the clarification, Jaco.

Any more details on the prices other than it go up?

[jacoavlu]

Nobody knows yet far as I know. You could ask kiya.

[madmonday]

just like honest conversations.  as an average consumer it's good knowing where my products are coming from, but at the same time that isnt the most important factor.  i do purchase items made in China  :-[.

to stay on track, i'll see what Roy does next & watch from the sidelines.

i liked the black & blues, but actually settled on a pair of Left Field NYC Cone White Oak Indigo Selvedge Duck Chinos.  I got a pair of Rogue Territory Dbl indigo trousers & they are really enough on the OD front for me (as far as trousers go).

od should mean over dyed, but is instead becoming overdone.  of course just the way i see it & of course i don't make-up the entire market so you should be safe with OD all you fans of OD

[J-IV]

Jaco; I figured Kiya might have mentioned something via superfuture if their was a price increase since Roys are in high demand. Thanks, Jaco

How so, Mister MadMonday?
