Sizing is easier now. With 2nd generation RRL that Godmother from 5EP worked on the sizing was whack. It can still be a slight bit off. I wouldn't buy RRL jeans without trying them on. I've got a pair of white RRL jeans and some chinos and the sizing is completely different on the two, so take that for what it's worth. I've got a lot of RRL shirts and stuff but when it comes to jeans I think I'll go with something like Sugar Cane of Mister Freedom x Sugar Cane over RRL the next time around.

Cool. I'll be camping for a straight pair that fits a sz 28 (be tagged size 26, 27, 28, 29, whatever).


Such thing haven't surfaced on eBay in the last 3 months. Curiously enough, even after the mass markdown of RRL Straights to ~$30 in some outlets.

Thanks for the heads up. It's appreciated. I've sniped a couple of western shirts off of ebay. I thought the small would fit me but it seems like it would only fit a 10 year old boy.

Again, odd sizing isn't strictly kept to jeans. Depending on the generation and garment, anything can go; I have shirts XS, S, and M that all fit me similarly.

Heh, I wear a small, but they are kind of on the SLIM side. A medium RRL western would probably look weird on me. I think the sleeves would be way too long as the smalls are already pretty long for a size small.

He'd heard that they aren't shrinking as much as it says they will on the instructions but nobody has bought a pair yet to tell them so it's very ymmv right now.

If it's that questionable, they should run a wash on a pair.

You'd think they'd have tried it before putting a $295.00 price tag on them. They look huge off the rack so I wonder how much they'd shrink. They are definitely a very straight leg with a wide opening. They come in an awesome box, though.

@ xchen

I got my RRL western snap shirt in 100% cotton. Have you experienced any shrinking with your RRL shirts?
