Rag & Bone Question!

[slee1986]

This a question for you guys that have rag & bones, I just bought the rb6 in 32 X 34. The waist fits perfectly and true to size, except the inseam is a bit long. I am a bit on the tall(er) side (6'), but even when I wear boots, I don't like the way these fold up around my ankles. When I wash these in a few months, can I expect the inseam to shrink a few inches? These jeans fit soooo f'ckin well I haven't had a pair like these in a while but I'm just hoping the inseam will shrink. Should I just take these in and get them hemmed? Please tell me the inseam will shrink, lol, I'd hate to hem these perfect jeans :/

Consensus is that R&B don't shrink in either inseam or the waist. What's the big deal about hemming? They're straight leg and it's not like they're distressed or anything.

I've had mine (RB6 32x34) for almost three months and washed it 4 times in cold water; inside out, using woolite black and hang dry; I have not noticed any shrinkage in length or color changes. It has gotten a little tighter but loosened again after wearing it a few times. My opinion is that you should just get it hemmed.

If anything I found my RB6 stretch just got some RB1's which are a good fit on me as my thighs are big and I struggle to get into most jeans.

Have only had my RB6's a short time. Have not washed them yet. But most others have stated that they do not shrink much if at all. I would just have them hemmed if I were you.

I have 4 pairs of RB, but have only washed one (and just did that last night.): It's an RB11 selvedge in ash black. It shrunk all over, and the color got darker. These were both unexpected, but welcome changes.

To echo a few of the other posters, the RB6 will not shrink if you handwash / line dry. Of course if you plan on machine washing / drying expect the waist & inseam to shrink about an inch or so.

A good note^^

I should specify that when I washed them it was a machine wash.
