The Official RRL Thread

[BaronFizzwell]

I don't mean to be off topic, but I've started a bit of a search for three shirts that I foolishly sold when I was consolidating my collection that I now realise I actually really liked.

The irony is that at the time of the sales, about three to six months ago, these shirts were all over Ebay, it seemed, and now they're like hens' teeth.

Has anyone come across the Railroad Jaspe Schneider, Jackrabbit Antique Print or Black Striped Bulldog Shirts lately?

This is the Jackrabbit Antique Print Shirt:

RRL newbie, picked up an indigo work shirt from Cedar and Hyde a while ago. I've never had a shirt like this before. Do you guys recommend washing before wearing to prevent indigo stains?

Not only that, but I'd recommend washing it separately as long as you have it. I've made the mistake of washing RRL Indigo Shirts that I've had for nearly three years with white singlets, and the blue still bled and stained them. You can only really wash them with others of the same type.

Thank you!! Much appreciated...

Argh at inconsistent denim sizing. I own at least 16 pairs of RRL denim, including 7 or 8 in low straights so was sure I had my sizing dialed in at W31 to W32. Order a pair of rigid low straights in a W32 and they fit like Levis 501 had I sized up a couple sizes!! WTFFFFFF????

I feel your pain. I seem to have settled nicely into a 31 waist but then the sizing went bonkers.

Nowadays I ask the sales rep to send me a couple of sizes to try on. I return the one that doesn't fit. Laborious, I know.

Hmmm I'm an RRL medium and it fits me very well, while the slim shirts are usually pretty fitted/snug... it's definitely not snug like the "slim" labeled shirts...

Its actually pretty true to the color on-line ...here's a pic I took from this weekend that I posted to IG (with the Wilberforces, rigid navy chinos, and leather belt ...but IMHO it actually looks better with shorts, not rigid chinos ):

What season are those rigid blue/navy chinos from? Been looking for indigo/blue in a chino for awhile.

If you think those are bad, you should try the Cotton Jaspe Trousers from a couple of years ago, the waist on the 31" pairs were about the equivalent of a 34", made no sense whatsoever.

They are Fall 2015...that year [2015] they came out with green in spring and blue in fall..and then none in 2016 or 2017 [so far]

Did anyone pick up these black/brown wash jeans from this past winter? Very curious as to how they look IRL.

I also have this shirt (and the blue/beige one, similar 100% linen) :

I usually wear S, but I take M on this one because they are very short ! They are not slim, they are loose, but it's linen, its for summer, its relax, so, it has to be a bit loose.

Linen is beautiful, super soft, really nice fabric. I have washed them (40°) and linen doesn't move at all.

Any idea when the UK sale will start?

I wondered about the fit of these kinds of shirts, mostly because I need quite a slim fit, being very slim. Does this mean that something like this would have a similarly loose fit:

Any idea when the UK sale will start?

I know in EU sales will start at the end of June. I don't know Uk... maybe the same?
