Am I missing something?

Ordered RB6 30/32... and the fit is god awful. Way too baggy and cinched impossibly tight at the waist.

Quality denim and construction I suppose, but not for me. Please someone take them off my hands. I've tags and all, tried on once. I'll let em go for $130.

Yeah.. same here. I tried the RB 6 and RB 11. RB11 way better on me. RB15 will be my next pair!

These have a higher rise than RRDS and I imagine they're meant to be worn higher rather than on the hips like RRDS. Try wearing them with a belt.

Post a pic of how they fit. Either way, there is no pair of jeans out there that is a good fit for everyone.

Actually, I would consider my RB6's to be one of the best fitting pair I've ever owned.

you cannot slouch R&B without huge hip flares. If you want to slouch em buy dior or Julian Red or something. ps- this thread is dumb. The RB6 is a relaxed 'baggy' fit, and if you didn't want that you should have got something slimmer like the RB11/RB15/etc

well i don't have a "baggy" jean... so I guess I'm gonna roll with em'.

They seem so high waisted to even do a tuck in with a button up. Maybe I'm just so used to RRDS where I wear em' just below the hip bone... RB6 sits about one inch below my belly button.


Can someone post a pic wearing RB6, would be much appreciated!!!

The RB6 is definitely not baggy. They are fairly trouser cut, and not mean to be worn slouched or low.

Given the right size, they are very flattering, at least on me.
