If I don’t return from the North Pole expedition, please tell my family I love them.

Edit: Got to say that side profile makes it look like I have a decent belly, but that is not the case.

Hello Gents,

Saw a very nice RRL belt (Made in Italy) on ebay circa 2010, looks hardly worn. Plan on pulling the trigger but was wondering what RRL belt quality is like? a current issue belt like it retails for $225. I dont go around aimelessly collecting belts so i need something i can wear daily and not worry about warping, hole stretching, etc. what’s the consensus?

No issues with my RRL belts.

I'm not sure anymore why I thought writing about the shape of the jacket with those words was a good idea instead of an invitation to mockery 😅.

Not RRL, but was browsing the Purple Label section for fun and noticed some ... interesting items. Like this Gestapo trench coat. They also have an over-the-top Western jacket this season.

RLPL stuff are always nice, but it's always a lot more city/refined than RRL, at least for similar aesthetic, 90% of the time I prefer the RRL version. Now a suede trucker for city look I definitely prefer RLPL (or a ton of other similar ones, like TF/BC etc. or even cheaper ones like Eleventry they all got that similar italian chill luxe vibe)

I'd say about 50% of my "church" clothes are RLPL (I don't actually go to church anymore lol), they are hard to beat, especially when you can find them on sale
