ROY

[davito]

I throw everything into the washing machine incl big bro shirt, hang dry no ironing, after a day or two wearing it, it was good and creases flattened out. Thats my way of doing it, i am not ironing anything and take care of bigger creases when the stuff is still wet

[goodrain]

@davito big bro shirt came with instructions that said hand wash only, right? is it to protect the buttons?

[davito]

@goodrain buttons are fine on mine. As tried to explain its my way of washing my stuff, my machine has a hand wash program too so i dont worry too much about those things.

I'd hand wash. Pretty delicate shirt.

Definitely avoid the drier, what with the glass buttons and all.

Hmm will have to think about it, maybe itd be ok in a laundry bag? for some reason i feel like clothes arent clean unless theyre thrown in the wash… heres a fit, like i said, i really like it!

Got a small and im a size 40 in flat head

[goodrain]

looks good on you, bro 

[Finn666]

perfect fit right there buddy! @grandmasterben

[grandmasterben]

thanks dudes!  very different shirt indeed, should get a lot of wear where i'm at

now i just need roy to come out with some loose jeans and i'll be set!

[emceeQ]

Yeah @grandmasterben I machine wash the Portland shirt and then hang dry.  Hasn't served me wrong yet…

Anyone planning to pick up the new "Tapered?" I'm very tempted. I love my SF01s and they seem to be similar except for a little more taper.

[Jordonf9]

I am very tempted as well. Loomstate, tapered, but not the dye combo I really like.

[tigerpac]

Nope, Roy WS1s are still going strong.  Good hard wearers.

[Jordonf9]

Wish I could have gotten those duck jeans from self edge.

Amazing how this guy is running his own business…

[davito]

Big bro Shirt always pleasure to wear

[Jordonf9]

I would kill for a pair of the ducks…so upset I missed them

Have always wanted a pair of Roy's jeans.  Really admire the entire benchmade craft.  The one hang up for me has always been that he always uses Cone.  In my experience Cone denim has a very consistent and recognizable wear pattern (heavy vertical streaking).  Since I already have multiple pairs of jeans made with Cone, I've been hesitant to add an additional pair which may end up looking the same (I really do not want my broken in Roy's to look the same as my broken in Raleigh's).  I know Roy uses Cone that is made exclusive to him but it is still Cone.

This could be a very complicated question but…..
Does anyone have experience in wearing Roy Cone vs. non-Roy Cone and how they did/did not differ?

[tigerpac]

^I don't think it differs very much at all.

Great jeans though
