Roy "Roy Tapered" Modified Jeans - RT1002

March 25, 2015

Roy Slaper is back with a fresh batch of jeans.  

This new release is a modified version of the "Big Bro" BB1002 jean.  This version of the jean comes with traditional (and more common) back pocket shapes and riveting techniques.  The fit is slightly different from past iterations of the Big Bro model, check the measurements for exact differences.  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.
