+1 though if you paid over $80 or so it's probably a bit too much as I see them at Last Call NM all the time for $45-70 depending on current sale, though all the ones I see are Morocco / Tunisia...Originally Posted by kmdsimpson 
Black label has definitely been upping their denim game lately. I remember seeing something about them moving to being made in the US recently.
To nobopyon: Straight fit in Black Label is probably not the same as straight fit in RRL. Black Label's aesthetic is slim, urban cuts. Think trim suits, motorcycle jackets, etc... So it is going to be slimmer than the RRL straight, which is a true straight leg cut . I'm also not surprised that they are coated - probably resin. I've seen those before on Black Label.
RRL: think western style. Black Label: think New York City
And those definitely are Black Label jeans - although we'd already established that.
In short - not the same fit as RRL, but still very nice jeans and high quality. If you like how they fit, there is nothing to worry about.
