How are the raw indigo dungarees (wrangler repros ?) shrinking/stretching wise. Will they shrink with hot soak ? A 32 tagged pair on eBay has a waist of 34, will it shrink to 32 or is it typical RRL vanity sizing ?

Thanks

Well, whichever size measures about 21.5" in the chest would be ideal. I didn't realize that those oxfords on Blake's blog were RRL I wonder what his retail is...


Barney's Outlets have the selvage oxfords in all three colors. Price was around 90, i think. I'm a 40 chest and the L fits well.

^Thank you. I'll be near one in about a month, but maybe I can call and see if they'd do a phone order...

I'll be out of town for a bit, but I may be able to pick one up for you in a couple weeks at cost, if they don't take a phone order. I'll pm you later on.

I bought a pair from someone selling them new on this forum a few months ago before b&s went completely useless. They are vanity sized, sanforized and I doubt they will shrink with a soak. Even if they did, I am sure they would stretch right back to 34. The denim on them is really nice, the quality seems a lot higher quality than the one used on low straight./slims. They have a yellow selvage line and the leather patch on the waist band seems to be made from some other type of leather than is used on other cuts. I have only worn them twice around the house for a few hours. They were pretty snug at first, but seem to be loosening up. Mine were a 32 x 32, but measure a 34 x 34.

Does anyone know if the RRL stores take phone orders?? And if so, do you think they'd be willing to measure a pair of jeans for you??

How do you know what the RRL stores have, does RRL have a lookbook or a catalog?
