What makes Roy's process any different from Ande Whall's? No hate, just an honest question I'm shocked hasn't come up, I'm wearing my Cone Mills Ande's right now (21 months now, still going strong) and am sure that Roy's are just as good. I'm not saying it's not impressive and everything, just wondering if there is anything different from what Ande impressed me with a couple of years ago.Originally Posted by Listi
To folks who think Roy's too expensive, I've got you a japanese alternative "Double Volante". Also a single man made jean for only 35000 yen/~$430 including shipping.Originally Posted by entrero
odd...that makes no sense either. if the jeans were worth $275 (at retail) then why wouldnt roy have priced them there? the price increase is just a profit markup which is fine, but i wont buy a pair. you all can though!Originally Posted by whatever123

every1's got their own definition of what "artisan" jeans is about. the [version] that has sustained my obsession all these years was bourne out of a tradition in jeans making. it may have evolved quite rapidly in recent years, with updated cuts + use of newer denim fabrics with exotic dye techniques + fancier trims, but folks like me tend not to stray far away "tradition". unlike fashion where designers keep putting a spin on anything & everything to keep goods in perpetual flux, the denim cult is the antithesis of that. denimheads like me would be wearing same/similar cut/style jeans after the mad denim rush have long subsided & most of the [plastic wielding] kids have moved on to other pursuits/obsessions. bottomline: in my hood, rep takes time. as they say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. i'm sure ROY is quite a gifted jeansmith & he's got all the right to demand his price, but imo he's gotta have enuf street cred to prevail & maintain. hopefully, Kiya could usher him out of obscurity to succeed.Originally Posted by IIIrd Icon
for ~275, ROY or Pbj xx007? hmm, tough choice.Originally Posted by pronxs
Of course my affirmation was deliberately dismissive and might be totally untrue. But then you attempted to divide people who buy clothes into "fashion' consumers and jeans nerds.Originally Posted by Fuuma
This is kind of pitifulOriginally Posted by KitAkira
honestly, until today i had not even heard of you and i only read like two or three sentences of what you post...but i think that is great you think you have respect on an internet forumOriginally Posted by whatever123
What is more foolish: to participate in something you find worthwhile or to dismiss it outright while still engaging in it. Not that it matters as this "it's the internet brah" bullshit happens as soon as morons run out of arguments.Originally Posted by Fuuma
why?! voicing an opinion is not kosher these days?Originally Posted by IIIrd Icon
Uh... did you even read what you read? It's pitiful. I don't reflect that on you, but this reads like some hypebeast denimnerd's fanficOriginally Posted by KitAkira
