So, just to let people know in case they haven't seen it yet. I was at the 21st Century department store in downtown NYC. I came across RLPL suit (42, 44 and 46), RLBL suit (40 42 and 44 I think) and RLBL sports coat (38R, very slim fit, all black, very light, great for spring I suppose). The price on the RLPL suit is about 1.5k, don't rememeber the RLBL stuff. They have some Polo RL as well, starting from 38R, nice Italian made ones.

PS there were also some corneliani, low line ferre, versace classic (some are ok) and tons of hugo boss, plus the usual Calvin Klien, Keenth Cole stuff as well.

Also for some reason, tons of YSL, some of which are not bad if you ask me, mostly 3 buttons though (which is something I dislike, but a lot people probably like it).

The Yves suits are YSL Homme, not YSL RGl. This is licensed YSL before gucci group got the license back. The are nice fabrics, fused, and drape pretty well. Not worth 400 bucks.

All the RLBL were 2 buttons (as if they have anything else anyway), no DB. The color I saw were grey, black/chrocal not sure, and one navy, most of the size are on the bigger side, i.e a few 40 mostly 44 and 46, mostly regular and some long in the large size part.

The 38R sports coat from RLBL were really fitted (might possibly be a suit without pants actually), would bought it if wasn't for the fact I just bought 3 nice suits and 3 nice dress shoes last month...

Can't remember about the price, as the RLBL was not in my size, the sports coat went for 450, so I would guess the RLBL suit would have gone for around 600ish.
