Ha thanks. I do work out but it's hard to tell unfortunately
I emailed Roy and told him his block is too small on the neck for some people and he was very gracious. I was not complaining, just providing data points.

Yeah I didn't notice in that second picture that the selvage is the under layer of a double placket; had to see it in person to grok that. Lots of little details. Inner cuff stitch is in a different color yarn; as you mention the buttons are cool. And despite its apparent fragility, the fabric is cool. Perfect for summer.

I found out about this drop too late but congrats to you guys that scored one. Beautiful fabric and those buttons are just amazing. Could either of u show off the cyanide pill hidey hole?

seano - I assume these will eventually soften up haha - I did air dry them in the dryer with some old sneakers for about 20 mins and it helped, then I wore them all day today - but they are still so stiff the fabric makes faint popping sounds when I move!
Compared to my RS04s, I think I will ultimately like these better (other than the puny leather patch on these vs. the RS04s - WTF?!?!). The SF01s are cut just a bit fuller from top to bottom, with a slightly higher rise. Seems like the overall fit is just better, esp. the waist. My RS04s have a peculiar issue that the top button doesn't quite align with the ones below it, it's like 1/4-1/2" tighter - it feels and looks a little odd, so I usually leave the top button undone and wear a belt. I don't recall the RS04 denim being quite this stiff post-soak even though they are both ~14oz cone mills. And the RS04s have a bit more leg twist (so far) Seems like Roy is essentially tweaking and refining his basic straight cut.
Compared to IH, I will take a shot… the best way I'd compare the SF01s fit-wise to IH is it's kind of like a 634 with a higher rise like a Beatle Buster. And of course done in a much lighter denim. This denim, as I said, is very stiff but thin, kind of has a crackly quality, almost like heavy paper, like wearing pants made out of grocery bags! It will be interesting to see what these turn into over time.

Portland. Hold the sloe gin fizz.

Beautiful shirt!!

Thanks boys. I was just enchanted by the details of this shirt and wanted to share. I'm careful how I wear it. I guess it's a white collar work shirt for me. I'm too rough and tumble outside the office. But it's so light you barely can tell you're wearing it. Good in summer, bad for cigarette ash as OhYo found out.
