I've been thinking about it–I'm in the market for a lightweight straight leg.  The F380 FH is calling me too...

I have the RN1, but don't wear them much.  Nevertheless, the quality/construction is outstanding.

[Giles]

IMO, you'll find the 14.5oz 3xxx denim in the F380 hotter than the IH 21oz selvedge….

Thanks for the info, Giles.  I'm mostly just interested in the weight.  I have a pair of TWHR01, but they're an inch too small… some days they fit, some days they don't   I love them, but I don't want to buy another pair an inch up.

Wow, have you seen the new Roy X SE Cotton Duck pants?  Seems like Roy has been working real hard in putting these together with Kiya.

Yap dope ducks IMO…

Right now, I really am hatin' on all you bigger dudes. Finn, lend me some of your blackness so I can get a pair.

[jacoavlu]

I'm sure a W30 would fit fine w a belt

Some of my blackness?

Naw mate,if I lend you some,I won't have any leftover for myself,so please step to mr.madmonday for this…he can handle it!

But pretty hard decisions atm for me: Aldens? Roy Ducks? IH CPO?...damn

[beautiful_FrEaK]

I have a strong urge to support this guy's work.

[Giles]

Me too.  I have a pair - a work of art….

He really deserve it that's for sure. Does he still make all the jeans him self?

Gauging by his web page, I can only assume so. That's really part of the charm; without it, I likely won't be so compelled to buy a pair.

That is part of the appeal….....

I know that's why I ask as someone over at Sufu hinted this is no longer the case since it went wholesale.

[Giles]

That probably is the definitive evidence that he does indeed do it all himself….....

But seriously, I guess at some point he will have to get people to help (if he does not already)....

[jimmy]

Which wouldn't be a bad thing. If he gets help for his seasonal line then he can go back doing made to orders which to me was the real appeal

^ Great look, el.

Alright, so I am committed to grabbing a pair of RS2s, but am a bit uncertain as to how to size these guys. I wear a 31 in the IHXB01 and the fit is spot-on. I messaged kiya with respect to the fit of the RS2s and he said that the 30 would likely be my best bet as the B01 is made smaller. However, with that in mind, there are a lot of similarities between the B01 and the SG2105 size 29–as per SEs measurements--and the latter proved to be too small, even with an intense break-in period. I'll have to hem these prior to having them shipped out, due to the intense nature of the inseam, and as such will not be able to return them if they don't fit.

Can anyone provide some insight? All input will be appreciated.

I understand the appeal of the Roys, I dig the one-man operation and crazy construction details and all that.
Not trying to hate at all.
But I gotta be honest I don't think I've ever seen a pair of worn-in Roys that wowed me. Granted I haven't gone looking extensively, and what I like is only my opinion, but that's my truth.
I'd be happy for someone to link to a well worn pair and change my mind.
I should say the World Tour pair looks quite good, and so perhaps the new jeans with the Nihon denim will wear like those, but the Cone denim just doesn't do it for me.
On the other hand, literally ever pair of worn 634sr I've ever seen look really good.
