The Official RRL Thread

[theRRshop]

The RRL line, in my mind is Ralphs favorite 'baby' so he will always protect the line at any cost...
we know when the line started it was too expensive and the RRL 'company' purchased back all the unsold stock back from the original buyers, this was Ralphs move to protect the line... at all costs.

Now with Ralph being older.. he will continue to put out RRL in many style directions, not worried about any costs involved... as long as he keeps it some-what limited and harder to get, it works.

In my mind, if the Polo Company SHIP starts to sink, Ralph would rush to save the RRL before all his other brands... including Purple Label.

Ralph only wears the Purple label in public, but when he is home, he wears RRL.

My guess, from a business stand-point, is that they're hemoraging money and rely on their parent company to inject money into them, promising better earnings with the way trends are flowing.

Just got my first pair of RRLs the other day. So far, I'm loving them.

Went TTS in their slim fit.

There is nothing like a pair of RRL jeans, the more you wear them the better they get.
Try wearing them with work boots... that will add to the feeling of comfort.... and the look.
And a cuff wouldn't hurt at all.

Pull your pants up. You look like you dropped a load.

Just Outlaw. Only thing I wanted was the indian head cardigan and was sold out in my size thanks to the Japanese resellers.

Anyone know why some RRL Low Straight's have double chain stitch for BOTH upper and lower of the waistband and NO hidden rivets? Also, no print of "Woven Japanese Denim" at the inside of right pocket?

Regardless, the denim feels top notch and fairly hairy... a lot of other details remain exact to other cuts.

I forget what year, but they stopped adding the japanese imprint from the Low Straight a while back. At the same time, they removed the hidden rivets, changed the waistband stitch style (from single bottom to both on top/bottom) as well. Small minor details like triangles in the stitches of the corner of the back pocket in certain corners vs all 3 corners.

Damn, I had a SA check last week and only one was left in S company-wide and was being held. Oh well, more money to save up for end of season sales.

through weekend? RL sale going on now through 11/8, I believe. I wonder if RRL is included? (more specifically at the Gtown store).
