Mauro, where can one find the varnished slim fit or just the slim fit jeans. Do you carry them? Can you order them? Also how does the sizing run on these.

Line sheets yes. Lookbook no.

Then what are those RRL books I keep seeing pictures of?

the waist runs 1.5-2 inches larger than the tagged size. so a 32 would be around a 34.5 waist. it's meant to be worn a bit lower than other jeans. also, the thigh is pretty tight, so i had to size up 1 in order for them to not look like skinny jeans.

Thanks for the help but I'm confused. For example: I'm a normal size 30. Size 30 runs large like a 32 so I should consider a size 28 for it to be a true size 30 but I have to account for the tight thighs so I should size up 1 with a 29? Bottom line to accommodate for the larger size but tight thighs I should size down 1? Oh and where did you get them?

i special ordered mine from mauro. the jeans have a low rise, so you can try to wear them at your natural waist but it might be uncomfortable. but you would be right in sizing down to a 28 for a 30 waist. i don't know if you'd need to size up to a 29, i did it for personal preference.

I'll find some pictures of them later. Maybe they're just for the Japanese stockists? Them seem to like to show them off.

Again, assuming we're talking about the same thing, Chad has one at Secret Service on display.

Quick question....
So I purchased a pair of the Straight leg denim in one wash. I need to get them hemmed.
Should I wash them first or just get them hemmed? If I don't need to wash them first should I leave an extra half-inch to account for shrinking when I eventually do wash them?
Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, robin's referring to a rather large coffee table print.

Just saw Detail's new 10 Essentials with Kanye West. He lists RRL slim boot as one of his favorites.

I wonder if they are going to be the next big thing now that Kanye endorsed them.
