ROY

[grandmasterben]

I'm always down to keep it real, but I definitely see where ROY has his strongpoints. You're simply not going to get the details that you get on a shirt from him compared to those you get from IH. They're unnecessary, but at this point almost everything is so that point is null.

I don't like how fast everything sells out though, that screams hype

Roy's WS-1 chambray is looking like a real bargain when it was $310 and I'm with GMB I'm sorry I miss out on it (I remember when it dropped and I had a chance to buy it but held off). I'm sure I'll be priced out on this one. I do love my Roy ducks and SF01s though.

I love my Portland. I'll keep it until it wears out. This forthcoming shirt looks great but so does Iron Heart's and it's probably built like a tank. And has a pen pocket. I love that detail on work shirts. I'm a bit rough on stuff so that counts. I also generally prefer western double yoke snap shirts.

I will likely not be picking this one up but it's from no aversion to ROY…. The shirt looks nice but it's not $3xx to me and that's really all that matters. Plus I can't be doing Canadian tuxedoes all the time...

I'm gonna guess 400 plus on this one

@grandmasterben:

Looks pretty good! And the buttons remind me of something iron heart would do.

They remind me of something Iron Heart do do….

First thought after someone posted a pic of the new roy shirt a couple months ago. "Well I already have that shirt…. And I'm about to go sand my deck with it.

"And smoke cigarettes in it!.."

[grandmasterben]

I think the denim is going to be the kicker on the ROY though. It looks like it has ridges in the fabric similar to the hank dry bones…. Probably natural dyed or something too. It definitely has a subtly different appearance when compared to the more regular hand of the iron heart.

I am not surprised and that is going to Mister Freedom's terroritories.

IH's 75 is, for my money, the best denim work shirt you can buy.  Built like a tank, but also extremely comfortable and attractive.  I respect ROY's quality and attention to detail – he makes great stuff --  but if function is as important as form, IH is superior.

And already sold out. Good on Roy, he's got a solid understanding of his target market.

EDIT: No they've not, I'm a n00b who clicked pictures before reading the date of sale.
