Great styling on the tailored pieces.

I called RL, and the collection has a 35% upcharge to standard MTM prices.

Look 1 needs someone to fit and tailor those trousers.

What an absolute disaster. I expected much more from RLPL.

The awful styling aside, the sleeves on look 2. are going to tear as soon as he gets a phone call.
Hoodies with a suit jacket will always be an unpleasant sight.


Fall 2020 was quite good and inspiring, but this is demoralizing.

Agree. Imo cuffed trousers with a full break are a disaster. They shorten the silhouette massively. Yet it's SO common a look for celebrities...
And also agree on picture 2 sleeves looking like they are about to burst. I never understood the idea behind skinny sleeves, they're absolutely unwearable in real life and they don't even make you look any slimmer.
Or is the whole idea that they make you look buff to the untrained eye of someone who never actually wears a suit and can't immediately tell it's badly fitted? Yeah probably that one.

But in any case to be honest it's always the same problems with each 007 movie and other similar action movies, their public just don't care for things that follow classic menswear ideas (or even real world usability) and they probably never will.
Indeed I always found it funny that they often use two different sizes in the movie, one for static scenes (barely wearable) and one for shots in movement (probably the actual correct size).

Why so dramatic? I will wager he looks better than most in RLPL.

And I’m sure RL stock is tanking now that you’ve called them out =)

I mean...he's not wrong? The clothes are beautiful on their own and for a wearer you could do much MUCH worse than a sexy beefcake like Michael B. Jordan, but damn if the stylists aren't doing their best to tank the whole thing (Look 4 gets it right though, or at least, SF-right, which is he best kind of right).

I get that your whole schtick is to passive-aggressively put fussy iGents in their place, but this ain't it, my dude.
