Mine is super soft. I think I must have the rinsed version.

What are we talking in terms of fit for the RB23 cut? Found it on Farinelli's but they didn't have measurements. It says "slim and tapered" but that could mean anything, honestly. Anyone got personal experiences with this or knows a site with measurements (thigh and knee)?

Got the RB23's.

Just wanted to echo what everyone said, good slim cut. Fairly fitted in the top block, could easily size up 1 but true to size can work too depending on how built (or not built) your upper legs/seat is.

Yeah, I love the look of all the R&B jeans (got 3 pairs)
BTW, that warning in your signature is pretty effective. I've read it like 4 or 5 times now

FWIW, I love my older rb6's. They were soft to begin with, but have some nice fades after 18 months of wear and a couple washes. I have to let a pair of rb11's go to make room for some other options, but I think the detail work, fabric texture and overall construction on r&b is really satisfying, on jeans and outerwear.

^^ Don't know why no one has grabbed those. Awesome jeans--especially the older ones. Too big for me!

I think so (along with Helmut Lang, which I think dress up just as well). I just bought another pair of RB15 at Barney's and I think they may be the dressiest jeans I own. They're a very dark indigo with no contrast stitching and some kind of resin coating. They're called Shiny Indigo and they're awesome. Saks in BH had them too. RB15 also makes a very good dress jean because the leg opening width allows it to be worn with any shoe type, lace-up, slip-on or boot.

Are those Rb6s more relaxed than the RB15s?

Nope. This was about the RB23s you had right?

RB11 size 32 fit pics and pre/post soak pics. I have been wearing these on the weekend for almost 8 months. they fade slow but have a brilliant blue color that is starting to come through. they stretched from 33 to 34s and are alittle bit too loose so i did a cold soak. shrank back to 32s in the waist and .25 in the inseam. not much change in the color but alittle bluer than it was before. i like the fit alot, wish they were a bit tapered in the legs though.
