Lefty, iammatt, and I would like to pay for your move to San Francisco.My grandfather was killed by some hobos in a railyard fight back in the 40s. Spending thousands of dollars on work coats and denim and bowery boots is my way of paying homage to him.
That and choking hobos to get an erection.
so i didn't really read most of the posts because the OP is so ******* stupid.
RRL has /always/ made a mixture of seasonal pieces (the whacky **** you're equating with originality and value) and basics. just because rrl, chaps and polo all make a pink oxford doesn't mean there's a degradation of the design aesthetic of RRL.
basically what your post is is this: "it upsets me that the design aesthetic that i think is so exclusive because it's so expensive is trickling down to cheaper brands, and it makes me feel less special"
not only is it wrong, it's asinine.
Comparing Rugby with Chaps? That's a bit harsh.
Yes. I think comparing Rugby to Chaps is a bit over the top as well. .
Yes OP is stupid.. how can you say Rugby is the new Chaps.
oh christ... and this video

Its like an addiction to irony? Doubly ironic? WhyTF are the "authentic" characters - the bohemian, artist, free-spirit analogs - waiting for the snap of the clapper board?
Its like the design agency is yelling out, this brand is a total f'ing crock of ****. We are going to insult your intelligence and laugh that you don't even notice. We'll make workwear, blue-collar clothes and sell them at exorbitantly inflated prices that actual blue-collar workers can't afford. You'll draw inspiration from their toil! Win!
F me. I hate advertising.
