ROY

[grandmasterben]

Roy stuff is cool but I feel like is too hyped up….I can't believe that many people bought this shirt in the first two days

[Max Power]

Yes, my feelings too. I like how passionate he is, but cannot get the hype, especially regarding the jeans (I really dislike Cone Denim, even if it's a special one). Nice to hear that the details and the sewing make a difference, but it's not enough for me to get some Roy stuff. Sorry.

Got the Portland. Love it except for one thing: the neck is too small should I ever want to button up all the way. I am not really a fan of that look anyway but I love the dimensions otherwise and thus wouldn't want to exchange for an upsize.

Fabric feels like a soft Oxford, looks really cool in person. Like how it drapes as well.

Looks great, McClain.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks. Damn well better, for the cheddar

[Bluegrass]

Yeah it is some serious cheese - but really nice - great fit - you'll never button all the way up anyway. Love the subtle stripe and details - this is a work of art.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks BG–that's how I talked myself into it.  I doubt I'll get another one unless he does some kind of crazy Western, but I love this one and will cherish it until some asshole ashes a cigarette on it

I can't button my top Buttons either.

[mclaincausey]

Even though I never do that top button deal, it's a little bit of a turnoff, for a shirt so otherwise immaculate. It buttons, but it feels like I'm being lightly choked. He needs to use a block that has a non-turkeyneck on it.  I am by no means bull necked and don't have to order bespoke shirts to fit my neck through them.

The shirt makes you look like a bodybuilder. Really nicely cut in that regard

[mclaincausey]

Ha thanks. I do work out but it's hard to tell unfortunately

I emailed Roy and told him his block is too small on the neck for some people and he was very gracious. I was not complaining, just providing data points.

Great classic shirt mclaincausey wear it well

@ohighyo:

So amazing details and love those buttons

[mclaincausey]

Yeah I didn't notice in that second picture that the selvage is the under layer of a double placket; had to see it in person to grok that. Lots of little details. Inner cuff stitch is in a different color yarn; as you mention the buttons are cool. And despite its apparent fragility, the fabric is cool. Perfect for summer.

[ohighyo]

Ya the fabric is awesome looking, just fragile

[davito]

Afaik the buttons should be around 80 years old, thats so awesome. I do love deadstock buttons, fabric looks great

[Anesthetist]

I found out about this drop too late but congrats to you guys that scored one. Beautiful fabric and those buttons are just amazing. Could either of u show off the cyanide pill hidey hole?

[tigerpac]

Finally, tried this on at SENY yesterday (they had one XL left) fit very well and was reminiscent of the chambray.  Cool shirt but I just wouldn't wear it enough for that price tag so I passed.  Not a bad shirt to have though at all, enjoy em guys!

[Bluegrass]

Finally got around to soaking my SF01s - hung em up and now they are stiff as a board even at 14oz they can stand against the wall.  shrinkage was as-predicted 2.5" in waist and inseam.  Any secrets to soften these up other than wear the hell out of them?

[ohighyo]

Just throw them in the dryer on no heat and let them get tossed around for a bit
