    Khakis with a dry-clean label - can they be put in the wash?

    Machine washing (vs Dry cleaning) will have 2 effects: 1) the pants will shrink, assuming you toss them in the dryer after washing and 2) the pants will lose a bit of the luster, or shine, that new RL cotton pants sometimes have. The pants shrink quite a bit in the length, so if you're going to...

    Has RRL jumped the shark?

     Not saying Rugby of 2011 is equivalent to Chaps of 2011 (which is no longer a RL brand); rather, just pointing out that both are diffusion lines from Ralph Lauren geared toward a younger audience. I own a couple Rugby items and think the line is well received by a generally younger...

    It happens, but I would say it is more the exception than the norm.

    Did BB change shoulders on all shirts?

    I tried on the Brooks Brothers (BB) Extra Slim Fit (ESF) shirts during the annual sale. The shirts were slim enough, but the box pleat in the rear of the shirt was higher than previous BB shirts. I don't know the exact measurement, but the horizontal shoulder-to-shoulder seam (where the box...

    Ralph's next Sale

    My SA just told me that the RL "made in USA" longwings and chukkas are made by Allen Edmonds. I asked whether he meant Alden, and he said he was sure it was AE. I've owed AE years ago. They are fine, but I would rank them below the other manufacturers that RL has used in recent years, like...

    Ralph's next Sale

    Why does your wife hate RL? I've never met someone in the world, ever, in time since the beginning of the start who has said, "I *hate* RL." To clarify, she doesn't like any of the items from any of the lines whether it's on sale or not? That's like saying, "I can't find anything I need at...

    How Slim Do You Wear Your Pants?

    I like my flat front pants to fit trim through the thigh and taper to 7.5" at the hem. If my pants are pleated than taper to 7.75 - 8" I would call this a very skinny fit; I couldn't even get my foot through a 7.5" (15" total) leg opening. Using the leg opening as a proxy for fit, I would say...

    Modern Tailor vs Mytailor

    Brooks Brothers duffle or Rugby (Worn Photos Included)

    BB. Is it really that slim fitting (which looks good), or do you have it cinched in the back? Is it regular BB, or BBBF?

    Stand alone BBBF store in SF

    My comments last August. I am no expert on SF neighborhoods, but ... Fillmore has had a succession of what I call sleazoid stores, ... As for Black Fleece, I doubt that they will make a go of it there. Pacific Heights is a better location for another Polo Shop, IMHO. Polo opened a shop on...
