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.

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

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.

…. 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.

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?

[jacoavlu]

He may have, I haven't really followed

[madmonday]

look out in the world & you see indigo baths have become very popular.

jcrew, roy, rogue territory,unionmade indigo, & i could be missing some brands, but those are the ones that come to mind (without even mentioning Iron Heart)

[jacoavlu]

random: an IHxRoy would be pretty cool. IH heavy denim and hardware, sewn up by Roy with his over the top details. Not saying I want to see it happen, was just a thought I had one day.

[J-IV]

Jaco; From what I see, no news.

MadMonday; Oh I see what you mean now. I thought you were talking exclusively just IH items. I, myself, like IH's OD. I can't say much for the other brands out there because I'm not too familiar with them.

[J-IV]

And just to add input, I don't mind collaborations at all as long as it puts a positive taste on the Works Inc. That's just me.

[madmonday]

i like the od as well, but i liked it more when it wasn't as common.  i'm just an elitist that doesn't want everyone to have access to a dope product 

true story, only slightly joking

[J-IV]

I feel you. I thought IH was the only company doing it because of how "stubborn" the company is and it would make sense for a dye that doesn't fade so easily. But if everyone else is doing, then fcuk.. Haha

Backed. And not just that, but imo standard indigo jeans fade much nicer…

Quote from MM:  "i'm just an elitist that doesn't want everyone to have access to a dope product "

^TBH, I never heard of od outside of IH and Roy products. But on these the price alone makes sure that not "everyone" has access to it. If that makes you feel better

[madmonday]

nope, not really, but i think the fascination with OD in general is akin to the way alot of things spread & grow.  the same can be said about raw denim as well as flannel and any other trend in any section of the market.

just look at the amount of folks that now make CPO style shirts with side pockets

I can't believe you are discussing this at 7:30am MM. It's like I never went to sleep. Shall I start a trend/ fad/ hypbeasting thread for you all to continue this discussion?

[madmonday]

naw man 

i'm just continuing cause folks keep bringing up my comments. apologies for the major derailment & i'll even put on my roy ducks & get a flick up in the next week or so to make-up for my bad conduct.

to the penalty box i go
