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? -
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.

Sweet collection. Still bummed I missed that denim shirt.

just missing the first chambray! kind of weird but I haven't seen pics of anyone wearing that shirt at all in any of the forums
I think it was a pretty delicate piece and prob gets worn sparingly.

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…
-
Lol, that was so funny.
The Portland is definitely very delicate, from looks I'd think his other 3 shirts would be normal.

I'd imagine similar to the all duck pants but in black. I used to rebuild chairlifts and got endless ribbing for wearing black carharts, as only the boss is supposed to wear black pants

from Kiya in the sufu thread
"Roy's "Foreman Pants" are coming in three weeks, made of Cone's fiber-dyed cotton duck. All new branding and details, and from what i've seen it's going to be a really good one."
"I've spoken to Roy about it multiple times and it seems like a true work-pant made of Cone's fiber-dyed duck fabric. I believe it'll be a straight leg fit. The branding looks great, and the stitching details are beautiful because it's Roy making a true work pant"
Sounds like it might be the same fabric as the last ducks but in a straight leg fit with workpant/chino/trouser details?

Very cool - can't wait to see this - but I doubt that I'd be buying right now. I've got too many pants I want to wear more and break in. But I can live vicariously through my forum friends! I am however regretting that I didn't grab the short sleeve chambray.
Many of us are. I had every opportunity too…
