        Roy finally sold and shipped off his machines so it looks like he may be out of the business.  As people on the Forum probably know, I have always been a huge fan of the work and the story.  The sewing skills are just so top-notch.

        I recently sold two pairs of jeans that were too small for me, but I am happy to still have the following:

        Old School Jeans
        Original Ducks
        Black and Blue Ducks
        Denim Shirt
        Portland Shirt
        Baja Shirt
        Black Chambray Short Sleeve

          That Baja SS shirt is wonderful!

          The journey is the objective.

            Damn, @RP. Those patches look rad af. I loved the detail work on my old R01s and appreciated the one man shop aspect of his work. Sorry to see him leave the industry.

              Roy's out? Anybody got any back story on this development?

                @zhivago – there was a post on his IG sometime last month (?) with a little slideshow of him loading his stuff up. From what I've gathered, the space he's been in since he started is being torn down/sold and he took that as a sign to move on. I know that Heddel's had a little thing on its site earlier this week to that effect. Don't know any more than that. If I'm wrong at all or there's more to the story, I'd love to hear from others. As someone who lives in the Bay Area, I've been proud to have Roy over in Oakland and rad denim outposts like SESF and Standard & Strange around here. Sorry to see him bow out. Just curious as to who he sold his machines to and what their plans might be.

                  Right on @henry_david. That seems pretty reasonable. I was in Northern CA for many many years and felt the same. Sad to see him stepping out but hopefully it's what is best for Roy and someone else will pick up with where he is leaving off. I am glad I was able to grab some of his wares over the years, always felt like lots of soul in each piece. Thanks for the explanation!!
