The Official RRL Thread - Page 566

RaggMan - how many washes have those had over the time you've worn them? I like the look, nice general fading and not too much contrast (which I don't care for).

Received mine today.
Just a few comments....

Luckily my waist measured BIG style is only 16.5". These are def running 3 sizes larger than tagged.

Also the rise on these is 1" higher than the regular & selvedge officer chinos.

Those RRL olive denim pants that were on sale at Barneys still around anywhere? looking to help a friend obtain a pair.

If you are talking about the straight legs in olive, yeah, call a RRL store and they should be able to locate them for you, should be ~60% off now.

Barney's outlet had some for.. $120?

 

I'll go tomorrow and see if the 30% off applies to that (if they're still there.)

 

 

someone wanna try washing and shrinking their selvedge denim officer chinos? not it!

Those 1+ year RRL Slim Fits one wash look great. You don't really see too many progress pics in here. I have a pair at the 5 month mark with 1 soak and it is still pretty dark. You can only really see the wear in direct sunlight.

yeah, I have some low straight one-washes that are at 4.5 months. They have had 1 wash and are still very dark. Getting decent wallet fade, and can just barely make out some whiskering in bright light. Love the jeans though, my favorite pair I've had so far because the fit is just absolutely perfect for me.

Nice fades on those once washed. Anyone have pics of fades on a rinsed pair, curious to see if there's a noticeable difference between the two.

I got a couple of food stains on the thigh and had my girlfriend wash them in cold water and hung them to dry. She then (by hand) spot treated the stain, rinsed, and hung to dry. I wore them today and they're fine.

Well, I wore these for 6-7 months - minimum of 3-4 days a week, especially when doing anything active. The first soak was while wearing in tub warm water- cleaned and scrubbed them with sponge loofa my GF nearly killed me after leaving a sweet indigo ring around the tub. I got aot of indigo out that way, these are saturated with indigo and dry crocked alot up until that wash. I think RRL bakes them after rinse to get that crisp wrinkled effect they have when purchased new. Anyhow, I continued weekly wear with just soak washes once a month with Aesop. I did try a saltwater rinse over this past summer as well. I've since moved to cold water wash at least 2x a week and hang dry. I also now throw in dryer once a month to shrink down so heat may contribute to continue loss.

Thanks all

no shrinkage? because peeps are saying these run larger than their selvedge khaki counterparts, im worried. i get mine next week

They have a rinsed pair too? I thought RRL made a raw and a one wash, then a bunch of pre-faded/distressed pairs.

You mean the washed olive?

Someone tried to tailor a pair of Slim bootcut into slim straight?

I think once washed replaced rinse but they're essentially the same thing. I'm probably wrong, though :/
