I've got a lot of RRL shirts size small that I need to unload. Willing to sell them for good price. I really need to get them sold though so if anyone wants to talk about these send me a PM.

True, it's not ideal, but you can only wait so long searching SF:FS and eBay for a difficult-to-find size. I somehow convinced the SA to give me a small discount, so I guess I didn't technically pay full retail.

i can definitely agree with that. The perfect deal may be out there, but it's not always worth waiting months and months for it to come. Just bite the bullet and get what you want. Hope you're satisfied with the jeans at least

I deal almost exclusively in RL prducts, including RRL. I wanted a pair of RAW striaght leg and ended up buying on F$^&ing ebay b/c I couldn't find them myself. It's true that with Barneys selling RRL now, they're getting A LOT of it - I say if you want something specific for RRL these days, at least in RAW or one wash, you might as weel just buy retail and get it over with. And I NEVER pay retail...

L.A. guys:

The RRL store on Melrose is having a sale on select merchandise right now, not much but better than nothing, and are having a little party/mixer at the store Saturday night from 6pm-9pm.

will co-op stores sell RRL? Did barneys sell RRL in the past? RRL has been around for like 15 years figured barneys would have sold them at one point or another.

Ha. You got my message, huh? 30% off on Saturday plus an additional 15% off from 6-9. Drinks and food provided and there might be a few surprises. I've got a few things going on that day but I'm definitely swinging by if anyone's interested on having an informal meet.

RRL isn't a typical brand so it wouldn't necessarily make sense that barney's would carry them. Still, there's a rumor floating around...

Personally, I doubt it affects this forum. Farinelli's can do special orders on RRL pieces no one else carries.

one of the biggest issues with RRL is they want to keep their stuff on the down low - no advertising that you carry it.
