The Official RRL Thread

Have your boots stretched out in width at all? What about your RKD?

I found both my engineer boots and the varicks to be very snug when putting them on, but once I pushed past the fit was great. I have about 20 wears on my engineer boots, and they have definitely begun to break in. I can tell that it will take more time though before they really loosen up. The varicks I put on for two hours and wore around the house. I will likely do that several more times before they start to give enough that I would be ready to wear them out. I think the bottom line is these are very solid and well-constructed boots, and only begrudgingly will they come to love my feet. However, once they do, I expect the relationship to last for quite some time.

Thats common on those types of brown RRL boots. My brown engineers have them too. Same with the Varicks i got

So will it spread out much more or eventually become spotted with that brown/darkened marks?

hmm i'm gonna ask some pros out. Its def. not grease, cornstarch wouldnt take it out - i'm guessing if i get brown polish it will polish over, so i may try that - but that is a last resort, i like the color as it is and would rather not have the boot color lighter or darker.

I've got sort of a mini-PSA for bargain basement RRL chambray lookalikes. I walked into an Eddie Bauer today and saw a rack of these chambrays on sale. I was very surprised to see that they are selvedge, trim fit, and mostly triple stitched! Original price was $80, but on sale for $60, plus 40% off; so $36! I own the original RRL shirt, and I still picked up one of these. It does fit pretty trim, and it feels very high quality. I guess they tried to do something a little more upscale, but it didn't really resonate with their customers.

I don't see it online. I went with my RRL size. It is definitely slimmer than my RRL chambray, which is from maybe 2 or 3 years ago? The RRL is on the fuller side; it's not like the newer slim stuff. I definitely could not size down on the EB in the shoulders, although the waist could be slimmer.

These are at Tysons Corner.

Not the best fit pics...

Those are made by Julian and are M43 repros. There should still be a few of those in stores for way cheaper than eBay. They were originally released in FW10 and didn't really sell.
