The Official RRL Thread

Rather than posting and reloading pics, I've decided to just set up a imageshack library so that you can all take a look: http://profile.imageshack.us/user/whodini Highlights include...: And there's plenty more. I'll update this thread when I update the folder.

i own those ... where in the world did it say it would shrink? on the inner tag?

Who, does anything on pg 3 come in XS?

Don't know as I don't work for the store. Feel free to call or email Farinelli's, though.

It was on its own hang tag, a message that said 'to preserve the aesthetic of a military pant these are unwashed so buy them expecting them to shrink approximately 1/2" in the waist and 1" in the inseam' etc. Neither the inner pockets nor the guys at the store mentioned anything about this, though. I'm a little confused 'cause the pocket says the fabric is sanforized and I would expect shrinkage from sanforized fabric to be negligible.

sorry but the smallest we have is the dark red in small.

Does Farinell's have the one in the third pic down, size large?

yes^

even after a fabric has been sanforized it has the possibility of shrinkage in pants 1 % to 5% of total length.

Thanks, will call tomorrow.
Not good to hear on the chinos. I had mine hemmed at the RRL store already.

it's possible does not mean it will happen

I just got a pair of RRL Slim Fits from Mauro and I wanted to post some of my initial impressions. I own a pair of Rugby dry jeans and so I'd like to compare the two. I was a little surprised by the weight of the denim, it isn't cheap by any means but it is definitely less heavy than my Rugby jeans. In addition to being lighter they also aren't as stiff as the Rugby pair. For some reason the buttons on the fly also seem a little cheaper than my Rugby pair's buttons. The RRLs are nicer in that they have hidden rivets and the denim is far more slubby. The pockets are also well constructed. The only thing that made them truly worth keeping to me is that they were made in America. I'm glad I purchased them for $160 on the sale as I'm not sure if they're really worth $220. Perhaps my initial impressions will be proved wrong when both pairs start to fade a noticeable amount.

While my reception of the RRLs is fairly lukewarm, Farinelli's had quick shipping and great customer service throughout the transaction.
