The Official RRL Thread

[oceansaway]

Could somebody PM to me the email address of a RRL SA they like to deal with? The SA I used to deal with at Melrose has left. Sincere thanks.

For someone new to RRL... does the above mean that there will be more garments coming in for S/S 19? The full collection does not become available from the start of the season?

I'm pretty sure RRL splits the drops into 4 seasons rather than two. Spring is online now, but summer is not

From the Instagram preview, summer '19 looks like it's going to be another great summer collection. I would argue that RRL's fall and spring collections have gotten increasingly weak in recent years, while summer just keeps getting stronger.

Does anyone have the Fenton leather jacket from last season? How is it, can you post a fit pic?

Thanks, sounds promising.

I think it is actually 5 seasons: Fall, Winter, Holiday, Spring, Summer. And each of those has multiple drops. They don't put everything up at once for a season. I'm still waiting for a few Spring pieces to hit the site.

Just received the indigo wallet. Would you say the stitching and overall quality are not good? So much for the near $300 MSRP. It's in the cordovan wallet pron territory.

oh man this looked beautiful on the website. those pics do make it look somewhat underwhelming. ive had the denim wallet for about 2 years now and its faded and held up fantastic

Stitching and finishing do look at little, uh, rustic? To me, that would be part of the charm of the wallet, but if it impacts wear and longevity, maybe not.

I bought a RRL leather wallet a few years ago. It looks great, but the credit card slots are too big and my credit cards actually fall out of the wallet! So, of course, I quit using it. I should have sent it back. How they could make a mistake like that is beyond me.

Have to agree. I think it looks cool. And a lot of RRL pieces try to capture a handmade, organic vibe.

I have a similar RRL indigo-dyed wallet from a few seasons back and it's very well made.

But hey, where's the fun if we all like exactly the same things?

As an RRL enthusiast I appreciate the number of different pieces the company produces each year—and accept that there will be hits and misses. Over time I've gotten marginally better at avoiding mistakes and homing in on items that Marie Kondo would say "bring me joy".

I have this wallet that just sits on my desk because of how nice it looks but could never get any practical use out of it

Looks like the whole thing was put together by a weekend warrior. I have another RRL belt that was made in Italy. It has the same rustic feel but without sacrificing craftsmanship.

as far as I know the wallet is made in mexico (at least mine), a very sturdy wallet and i just love how the patina develops ... see last wo pictures before and After scratch.
