Anyone know where to get 5EPs in raw? Also, are RB6s one wash?

Yeah, I think all Rag & Bone is one wash.

Hmm, I might be interested in these depending on the cut.

Active Endeavors has an RB6 described as rigid. I recently ordered a pair and they look/feel unwashed. Not selvedge, $198 before discount.

drizzt3117,
you probably already know, but keep in mind that the sizing is kind of crazy. my raw 5EP (straight) are tagged 34/32 and measure something like 37/34.

How much were they on sale? I assume they'll have some post-holiday sales but I suppose they might be gone by then.

Ya, I figured that would be the case, did you shrink they by washing or something, afterwards, or how did that go?

I've done a cold soak, they didn't noticeably shrink. Even if they did, they probably stretched back out. I'm tempted to toss them in the dryer, but I don't want the inseam to shrink. You should size down for sure.
I got mine on sale from HTC on Melrose. I don't believe they carry them any longer though...

I agree that most of the RB jeans are rinsed/washed. Both of my selvedge RB6 were rinsed. But I have been able to find a rigid non-selvedge finish RB1, RB6, and RB11 during this past year. I can't say that any one pair (denim type) stretches more or more easily than another than another. Also there was a thread a couple of months ago about 5EP sizing you may want to read if you haven't already - http://www.styleforum.net/showthread...&highlight=5ep
