ROY

[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…

Big bro Shirt always pleasure to wear

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

Roy has used Japanese denim too, he made some jeans with Nihon Menpu denim a while back. I think he's also used Japanese fabric for shirts.

Completing the Roy trifecta with the short sleeve chambray.

Sweet collection.  Still bummed I missed that denim shirt.

I think it was a pretty delicate piece and prob gets worn sparingly.

[grandmasterben]

Why do you think it's delicate? Would be cool to see pics, that's my favorite shirt he's done

Just from the reviews Ive read on it

I thought it was the Portland shirt that was delicate.  Or at least not fire resistant…

[grandmasterben]

Lol, that was so funny.

The Portland is definitely very delicate, from looks I'd think his other 3 shirts would be normal.
