well I already owned about 5 pairs of RL jeans and this past weekend I picked up about 4 more pairs since macy's was having a sale. well I was looking at the care tags last night and was surprised to see that RL recommends dry cleaning they're jeans or hand washing. I don't think I've ever owned a pair of jeans with that recommendation. anyone else have jeans like this? I know dry cleaning should preserve the color but won't it also break down the fibers and increase wear?

also what is the general consensus of RL denim? I know its not as exclusive as some other brands but I think it's actually a pretty good value.

9 pairs of RL denim? We won't believe you until you post a fit pic ... wearing all 9 at once.


APC recommends dry cleaning their denim as well and I am sure others do too.

i wouldnt dry clean, it weakens denim, might as well just give them a hand wash if you are worried.
