Think I need to double cuff?

[FurattoHeddo]

Slightly bigger or a 2" one cuff gets my vote

Nice and tight double cuff or a slouchy double cuff. Play around with it and see what style tickles your fancy.

For anyone interested, the new Roy jeans go on sale this Saturday.  They look like the same Cone 14.5 unsanforized fabric as the RS-04 and RN-04 models and have what look like cotton duck pockets.

[elclintor]

Yep! Finally something to use my store credit on! Those look phenomenal.

i'll hold back on phenomenal til the measurements are posted

@natehate:

they are posted.  Measurements are almost identical to the RS04, but Kiya says that the fit is different somehow…

[llvlaglne]

probably the topblock is slightly different when worn

I was just looking at the measurements, too.  Overall, I am pretty disappointed.  If I'm reading things correctly, it looks like the inseam will only be 34", after soaking.  I feel like Roy screwed up there.  35-36" should be the absolute minimum, right?

They also appear to be more generous in the waist.  I prefer the sizing of the RS-04.  I do admit, however, the details on this latest model are excellent.

I picked up some of the RS04's a few months back and am way in love with the denim. It's light and tight. Brilliant IMHO. These look really promising…

[seanocono]

Yeah, Z, I received a pair of the RS04s for Christmas, but they weren't the right size.  I exchanged for the Roy Ducks – which I love -- and I was excited for the next release.  The denim really is fantastic.  I'm sure it only gets better with wear, too.  MikeC should be all over this.  14.5oz, loomstate, unsanforized, American cotton, etc... Purely based on measurements, I prefer the RS04 to this new model, though.

[elclintor]

SF-01's are up for sale.

[natehate]

Did you pull the trigger Clint?

[elclintor]

Yup!

[natehate]

Nice I wanna know what you think of them when they get there

[elclintor]

will do sir!

[zwer]

I follow the Roy thread on SuFu and I get really tempted, but the measurements for both the RS and RN scare me.

[llvlaglne]

his interpretation of narrow changes time to time. but the details on the Special fit have taken to my liking. i'd like to see the guy do a chore coat next

[seanocono]

Yes, Clint, looking forward to your impressions. The fit, in particular.
