The Official RRL Thread

Do you pay insurance? There's one more thing I want to exchange, and this time around I don't want to wait 2.5 weeks. But it only took about 4 business days (+ weekend) for my package to get to them. I think the bulk of the exchange time was the time it took them to process it. I'm exchanging a pair of shoes and wondering if priority mail would be worth it to save 2-3 days in transit. How much faster was the exchange process when you priority mail?

It depends on the value of the item. I rarely ever get insurance. If priority versus the prepaid label only saves you 2-3 days I wouldn't bother. Maybe I have it especially bad but paying postage saves me weeks in the return/exchange process.

What are the common suggestions for settling indigo in clothing? I have a RRL indigo sweater I'm afraid will bleed onto lighter colored shirts worn underneath. Can I just wash it a bunch of times? The iron ore shirt is indigo but I never noticed any bleeding at all even when I first wore it. I've just been washing the iron ore and hang drying since I bought it.

I normally just wash my jeans a few times to get rid of excess dye. I've heard you can put vinegar into the wash as the machine is running, but I've never done this and have no idea how to do it. Apparently the vinegar will set the dye permanently?

I always just go buy a cheap 3-pack of hanes undershirts and rock those until the crocking is pretty much done. Side bonus is you can get some pretty sick contrast on the undershirt too after a while. I did that with the indigo crew fleece from a few seasons ago and an indigo hoody from united arrows.

Sorry if this has been asked already, but does anyone know when RRL will have another sale? I've got a few things I want to get my hands on, but not the prices I want to pay unfortunately.

A couple months back I posted my experience with the indigo dyed hoodie from a season or so ago....just wore it again yesterday in fact, still looking great with no noticeable bleeding.

"I threw it in the washing machine on cold, gentle cycle. Prior to the rinse cycle (when the machine is full of water), stop the machine and add two cups of white vinegar. Let it sit in the washer for at least two hours, then finish the rinse cycle. Hang dry. Worked like a charm and set the color nicely. No noticeable color loss, and just went through a full days wear without any noticeable bleeding/transference."

so can anyone give input on the sizing of the fleece cardigans and such? specifically this one or ones like it ..

i usually teeter between an XS or a S , 5'6 135 ... can anyone give input if these fit snug (then id go with the small) or if its more boxy or relaxed fit? (than id go with the XS) .. i usually prefer my clothing to fit on the tighter side

What's the recent consensus on the buttondown oxfords? Are they "selvedge" anymore? The story was the quality had declined from several years ago, but not sure how reliable that is. Can never have too many white and blue OCBDs

I have some button down oxfords and chambrays from last year / earlier. Not selvedge. Decent material, made in China to a good standard. Small collars. Worth the sale prices.

Is this mark down temporary? or is there another mark down on top of this in near future?

I was expecting a sale letter in the mail but never came...anyone have one can post it or have info thanks

The pre-sale should also be online, no? it just started at ralphlauren.com/presale.

My only issue is there a code I have to obtain? because no discount is being reflected when I checkout on items that should be reduced. I guess I'll have to call customer service.
