Roy Straight Leg Loomstate Jeans - RS05

December 31, 2015

A new year means new jeans from Roy! 

This new release is a reworked version of the RS model from a couple of years ago.   The fabric on these jeans is a 13.5oz loomstate denim which Roy designed from the ground up. Cone did not have or could not produce the selvedge id thread color so Roy had another company manufacture just the single thread that goes through the selvedge line and had the thread shipped to Cone to use on his denim.

The warp yarns are made of a conventional American cotton while the weft is made of Supima cotton giving the fill threads an off-white cast. Supima is a longer staple cotton so we're thinking it will be less prone to stretching out and knee bagging. The fabric for the pocket bags were also custom designed and produced for this jean. They're an undyed (natural) ring-ring 3x1 twill that is loomstate and will be cut in a way where it shrinks with the jean. The pocket bags are a 10oz 3x1 cotton twill which is 100% ring spun, undyed, and unsanforized.

We don't believe we've seen a denim with this much character come out of Cone Mills before, the weave pattern is very unique and so is the shade of indigo.  

Check the product page for full measurements, a full spec list, more info, and high-res photographs.

These jeans will go on sale at noon (local time) at all five Self Edge stores on Saturday, January 2nd.  They will also go on sale at 11am PST on the same day in our online store.
