The Official RRL Thread - Page 428

anyone try that parka in person? trying to find a winter jacket and leaning towards canada goose. figured the rrl is more for looks then for utility but someone chime in and tell me otherwise

I'm looking for a new pair of dark jeans for FW and was thinking about tacking on an order next time jimmyfingers opens it up. Wasn't really looking at RRL, but for 50% off, seems like a deal. I'm a shorter, stocky guy with big thighs. I need about a 16" back of waist measure (size 30 in APC NS), an 11.5" leg, and a smaller leg opening, preferably like 7.5" to 7.75". What do you guys recommend? Low straights? What size? I'm guessing I probably can't squeeze into the Slim Fit's thighs.

here's the measurement i got from CONTEXT, hope that helps on sizing.

I have a question about the oxford shirts of RRL. What is the difference between these two? The label in the two are different, what does this say?

 

I have pretty long arms but with jacket size 50 what size of shirt is best M or L?

 

 

I got those, did you already account for mine?

Not sure about RRL but Canada Goose makes some amazingly warm gear.

Context's measurements aren't always that accurate. My low straights are 3" + tagged size.

yeah im sure ill stick with CG

Is CG cheaper here in Canada vs the US? Never compared but if you need any help let me know.

They're all yours, Namor:

And I thought the Barrie last was clunky.

haaa, wow. I have seen these before. This seller is a prick. 6 months ago he purchased these off of another ebay for $600ish and now is (trying) flipping them for $1600. I heart ebay

Unless you are planning on using the CG jacket in temperatures below -20C, I don't think they are all that useful because essentially they are too good at keeping you warm. I start to sweat in them even with one layer when temperatures are around -15 to 20. You really only need a T-shirt underneath, no sweaters. The RRL coat is 90% down as well, so probably utility wise I am sure it is up there with CG at keeping warm, though the exterior is where the two vary? Gore-Tex on CG is probably useful on wet/cold winter days.

No CG is not cheap in Canada. They are not even allowed to go on sale there.

I have this shirt in an L. It fits slim and one of my favorites. It's rock solid and much thicker than a what a standard chambray is known for,

If someone runs across these in a size 8 or 9 let me know!
