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
-
od should mean over dyed, but is instead becoming overdone.
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
-
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?

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

No no no, I was being serious. This is obviously a topic that continues to come up. I just figured there should be a place to discuss it. If this was an IH product thread I would have already split the topic. Let me know if you all want a new thread for it. No penalty box for you sir, just busting chops. And it is 7:30am, why do you have so much energy? -
i'm up from 00-dark-thirty getting myself together.
been trying to go to the gym early in the a.m. instead of waiting for the new year to say i'm going to turn over a new leaf.
it has givien me bundles of energy & has made me into a new(ish) person.

Wish we lived closer as I need someone to motivate/ go with. Just to keep this thread on point, anyone rock their Roy boxers to the gym? ???

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
maybe I've missed the definition of overdye at some point along the way but.. I'm pretty sure overdye is essentially garment dyeing something that has already been dyed. 'Double Indigo' trousers and those left field chinos use blue warp/weft dyed yarns - meaning the dyeing process occurs long before the garment is made. (AKA not overdyed
)That being said, there are some companies out these offering OD products (In almost every case I've seen, indigo warp/naturalish weft jeans with a black fugitive pigment) just like IH does. So in essence, yes, it is still a bit overdone but I like to think not every black fugitive pigment dye is the same - I'm sure the recipe can vary in creating such a dye. IH's so called recipe for their black fugitive pigment die is different from everybody elses. The distinction i make is that while somebody may be doing an OD jeans they aren't doing a true IH OD jean.

regarding the price discussion, the new price of the ROYs is 335$

^^^^
that's cool, i'm sure fans will be happy to hear this news.

We've received quite a few inquiries about the price of the new Roy jeans.
Roy's price to Self Edge has gone up and therefore our price has gone up, the new price is $335.
Roy has stated that not only did the denim itself cost considerably more than past runs but this jean was more labor intensive due to a few extra details not found on past jeans.EDIT: The tendency to want to compare the price of a product from Roy to other brands we sell will be there, but please refrain. It's hard to compare a product like roy's to almost anything else we (or anybody else for that matter) carries because of the unique nature behind the production of it.
Also, he's having a little leather patch contest, more info to be posted to his own website shortly.

I don't understand this: "This is the first time in over three decades that Cone has produced an unsanforized fabric for anybody".
Is is supposed to say, that the denim is special because it's exclusively made for Roy? or is it special because it's unsanforized,(which then doesn't fit to LVC being made of cone denim)? -

Response time and correct info will be much better.

Ok, just thought you'd know and my english might be the reason I couldn't understand it.

I cannot answer that question as I do not follow either of those threads and am not well informed on the inner workings at Cone. To be honest, your English is better than most on this board so I wouldn't worry about asking the question on Sufu. Report back here with the answer if you get one!
