ROY

[beautiful_FrEaK]

So we are finally at the stage where the reproductions get reproduced

[Chris]

There is truly nothing new under the sun.

I would have preferred it if the jeans were pulling on a duck, though.  Kinda silly, I know.

[tigerpac]

Wonder if Roy knew about that Ware house patch.

They look pretty cool but I already don't get enough time to wear the current 3 pairs of jeans I'm working on - so pass…. but tempting!

Like the fact these are the first unsanforised ducks since a long time. Happy for those who will get the hands on those. digging the rivet on the crotch

[natehate]

ordered a size down
pics when im skinny enough to fit in them

[marco]

^^ brave move! i went true to size after debating whether to size up 1.. cant wait to get em.. my rising suns ducks are all but washed out now

[natehate]

not that brave, its incentive to get back on track with losing weight
most things i buy these days i buy knowing i can eventually fit them
no point in getting something that nice to just have be to big eventually

all this talk and no pics…

I like the patch, but that's about it, suz…

[Finn666]

…and the inner pocket embroidery!

That crotch rivet 'd drive me mad…

[Chris]

I actually like the cut on them.  First thing Roy has done in a while that might actually fit my fat legs.  Measurements seem really close to my Oni ducks, though, so I'm not in the market for another pair.

Crotch rivet is less noticeable than you might think.  I often forget it's there on my Oni pair.

Chris: the pair of Oldblue jeans I owned (and gave to my dad), had a crotch rivet… Not sure how but it really got in my way during the few times I wore 'm...

[Chris]

Fair enough.  I sort of expected it to bug me, but it really doesn't.  Probably depends a lot on cut of the pants and placement of the rivet.

[Seul]

Worse was the rivet on the coin pocket though…

Anyhow: these look nice enough but can someone tell me why I'd wanna take these over the 666-Ds?..

B/c Roy makes some damn fine clothes, some people can't fit into 666 anythings, and there's no 634 cut duck (hint hint maybe?).

different horses for different courses but.. handmade by one person, in un sanforized, cone mills selvage duck is appealing.. not to mention the slightly crazy ROY details

[natehate]

I went with the Roy over the 666d cause the 38 666d's leg opening is so big for my taste and the 36" waist is way to small for me. Plus it's nice to have some options in the closet that aren't super heavy. The only thing that I don't like about Roy's products is his lack of back pocket accurates. With his crazy attention to details you figure he'd be all over that? But yeah they look good and unsanforized selvage duck sounds delightful to me

And trust me I've been thinking about te 666d's a lot and just couldn't figure out a way to make me happy with them other then having them tapered

[Seul]

634 ducks should be happening (soon?)…

[JCar2666]

^^Really hope these materialize in 2013.  Preferably winter or early spring.
