Raqg & Bone for $120 - good deal?

[VMan]

A local streetwear shop has Rag & Bones for $120 or $125, down from $245. Is this a good deal?

The Model was 1890 or something - I believe they were raw, non-selvage, and straight leg or perhaps a slight boot cut.

They were nice looking jeans - great denim with a nice dark coloration - but I didn't have time to try them on.

Is this an outrageously good deal?

Yeah, sounds like a good deal. Do they have anything in size 30? Do you mind shopping for a fellow SFer?

 

[thisisme]

Size 28?

isn't all R&B always above 200? you got a good deal going there. is that the only model available?

 

[kronik]

It's an excellent deal - the same could have been had from DB but on the condition that you purchased a pair of jeans, full price.

Not familiar with the model though.

They had two pairs in 30, a few in 32, and possibly 34 or 36 as well (didn't check).

If I normally take a 30-31 waist in jeans, what size should I go for in the R&Bs, assuming I know nothing about raw denim and shrinkage?

Yeah, only model.

They have a ton of pairs of Notify, $260 down to $130, if you're interested.

wow half off! anything else there? looks like mostly american brands? 5EP and stuff?

and i do believe r&bs are all like minimal shrinkage and stretch-age kind of jeans, true to size et al. wait for Brian SD to pop by for the final word.

I'll go back today as I was pressed for time. They had a ton of Meltin' Pots, some PDC...but mostly brands that don't have a lot of respect on this forum - Notify, Diesel, Seven, Evisu, JL, Loomstate, etc. They did have a ton of modern amusement stuff - sweaters, shirts, jackets - that looked pretty sweet. I also got to check out some of the Rogues Gallery stuff - nice, but not at all on sale.

The model was 1890? That sounds like Kicking Mule, not Rag&Bone. Rag&Bone jeans always have RB(number)

If I were you, I'd wear 30s in R&B.

Maybe it wasn't the model number, but the store code or something. I only had a minute to browse so I couldn't get the details. I'm heading back there in a bit to try them on.

Looks nice.

 

[Brian SD]

Does look very nice! My only warning is not to expect them to fade like Nudies, APCs, Eternals, or whatever. They just don't. They do develop a nice color, but it's not contrasty at all.
