The Official RRL Thread

Ah, so it’s specific to these pants? I think they’re fairly popular. Yeah, I was thinking of hemming an inch and asking to use those scraps to reinforce.

I am also a big fan of Carthartt. I bought a dark blue duck/canvas winter coat for $85 in 1995. It is almost 30 years old and still going strong other than faded and some minor fraying at the under-sleeves and I have worn the living sh*t out of it. Best $ I have ever spent on an item of clothing I think. Just pointing it out...I'll shut up about it now...ha ha.

Ralph would change a premium for that fading and fraying.

It’s on the inside, so not so critical.

I’ve had similar experiences with the HBT pants from RRL - premature ripping at the pockets and in the crotch. It’s always an easy/inexpensive fix but it’s still annoying given the price. I think it boils down to the material on these being sort of thin.

FWIW, I spent nearly 8 years on active duty in the Marine Corps and put my uniforms through a lot more abuse than anything I’ve thrown at my RRL military-inspired stuff and think I had maybe 3 failures of the materials in all that time.

I recently bought some military-inspired trousers from Bronson MFG for a fraction of the RRL prices and everything looks really nice and much more heavy duty in terms of materials. Sizing is definitely wonky though…

The scamming of RRL returns is out of control.

Ordered this RRL hoodie.

Received a used black Polo hoodie with some RRL hang tags. Kicker is the RRL hang tags don't even match the product I ordered.

 

[ucla bruin]

It really is. I bought a roughout western shirt but received the twill version with all the tags swapped out.

My find of the day…

So, how do you trust the seller?

So, how do you trust the seller?

Believe it or not this is happening directly from RalphLauren.com. It’s a common scam. Someone orders an expensive RRL item and swaps out the tags with some other junk and returns it back to RalphLauren for a full refund and they keep the RRL piece. Then you order that returned item and they send you the old return without noticing the last person swapped it out. Happened to me on a $1600 mountain cardigan a few months back.

 

[ucla bruin]

Correct. I bought it directly from the RL website.

Can anyone please advise, are the RRL Bowery Deck Jacket and the Jungle Cloth Deck jacket the same thing? Obviously two different names but they look identical to me. Thanks in advance
