I want to buy a pair of RRL slim bootcut. I am a size 31 waist. Recently I went into the Ralph Lauren store on Filmore and tried on several pairs of 30's (raw and dark wash) that fit great. They were only $230, but I'd prefer to buy them on eBay so I can save $ and get two pairs for the price of one (the same pairs go for $125.) The problem with eBay is that it seems like they are selling older RRL that are more vanity sized - they all say a size 28 waist it actually a size 31.. so the other day I bought a 28 on eBay, and they fit in the waist like the 30's I tried on in the store, but were skin tight on my upper thighs (much tighter than the store 30's). I know they stretch about a size up, but I think that is just in the waist. Does anyone have info on this or recommendations.

Thanks,
B

A couple of questions:

1. How much will a pair of RRL jeans stretch?

2. Is there any difference between the 'slimness' of the slim bootcut and slim fit jeans?

Thanks

1. About an inch or two.
2. Google measurements for the slim fit and slim bootcut.

The embroidery isn't important, it's the rise. If they're tagged 28 but fit like a 31 because the rise is around 9", it's more than likely a women's pair. If you research enough, you'll even see that one pair has few fly buttons than the other in the same tagged size. Why? Womens vs mens.

FYI (and everyone else's), they haven't sold the super vanity-sized RRL variety on ebay in years. I'd say the raw stuff that has come out in recent years have been bigger by only an inch or so; the older stuff was more like 4"~.

Hey guys: I have a western shirt from the American Graffiti line. It is by far my best fitting shirt (in general). My questions are 1) do they still make the AG line?, and 2) are all the fits pretty consistent across this line (for shirts)?

Think the lines are seasonal so no, not made anymore. Tops (flannels, shirts, t-shirts, etc.) have been consistent in my book and I've stuck to my size across the board, although I do prefer my t-shirts a size up.

The fits are identical across seasonal lines for flannels, chambrays and work shirts I think. I'm not sure that they change the cut/fit of them with different lines.
