ROY

from Kiya in the sufu thread

"Roy's "Foreman Pants" are coming in three weeks, made of Cone's fiber-dyed cotton duck.  All new branding and details, and from what i've seen it's going to be a really good one."

"I've spoken to Roy about it multiple times and it seems like a true work-pant made of Cone's fiber-dyed duck fabric.  I believe it'll be a straight leg fit.  The branding looks great, and the stitching details are beautiful because it's Roy making a true work pant"

Sounds like it might be the same fabric as the last ducks but in a straight leg fit with workpant/chino/trouser details?

Very cool - can't wait to see this - but I doubt that I'd be buying right now. I've got too many pants I want to wear more and break in.  But I can live vicariously through my forum friends!  I am however regretting that I didn't grab the short sleeve chambray.

Many of us are. I had every opportunity too…

details for the new ROYs are out

I like them - not the typical cut we're used to seeing.

[seanocono]

Agreed. Refreshing, and sorely needed in this modern, slim-fit world.

Liked the older editions better but good to have options

[Bluegrass]

I'd sure like to see this fabric up-close - sound really interesting…...

Nice duck Sir

Roy KS002. I could make Lycra look wrinkled.    I'll spare you that sight.

Quick update on the above…..  Roy wants you to send back your RS-5's if you bought some.....

^That sucks but sounds like he's handling it perfectly.

[BloodnThunder]

I'm tempted to buy some just as a collectors piece.  I also have a feeling in a few years when the dust has settled, having one of the few pairs of Roy's with the 'faulty' buttons will end up being sought after by some denimheads.

Roy is handling this situation really well.

I think it is already pretty exclusive to own a ROY-pair, you can't go wrong, BloodnThunder!

[tigerpac]

^Indeed.  Got some WS1's from a few years ago that just get better with age!

Crap lighting but I recently acquired another pair of my favorite jeans, the SF01s. New and my original pair (~2 years of wear) side by side pics below. I can only wear jeans to work on rare occasions but whenever I wear jeans its been my SF01s.
