Sorry to post late with what may be a dumb question, but is there actually a Blake X RRL version that is different than what Context or RRL sells? Thanks in advance.

Ah, I thought that might be them. I've always thought the toe looked too bulbous on those, but they look nice and sleek in your photo. Perfect color to match with those chinos.

Well hey, I figure when something works, why change? I blame Mike for having the uncanny ability to read my mind and produce the exact items that I've been wanting in what's basically a perfect fit for me straight off the rack. Seriously, it's his fault, not mine. But yeah I do have some other labels filling out my closet; APC, Levis, Brooks Brothers, Gant, and hell, even the occasional J Crew leftover remains that will pop out every now and then, though most of that stuff is thankfully gone now at this point.

Oh and I have a couple H&M suits. They're like $100, so why not?

Hehe thought you guys would get a kick out of it. Alright so which member on here is double_rl on ebay? Even asked me to post the link on styleforum specifically.

By the way, how much have your guys' chinos stretched out in the waist? 0.5"? 1"? What about the thighs?

Not sure who double_rl is, but those selvedge chinos are just a slightly older model with a more rigid selvedge cotton (sans red line) which made its way to RL outlets earlier this year (seller probably paid about $50 for them there).

Stanley, are yours the red selvedge line chinos? I remember you saying they stretched out a ton, more than 0.5"-1"?

Yeah mine are the red lines. I don't have an exact number for you as I washed them for the first time recently and they are "back to stock" for the moment.
