1. they don't

2. asked a random sales associate, he has no idea what RRL or Double RL is even though it's on their website, guy suggest me to check out Macy for Ralph Lauren stuff...

ok, update on this guy, definitely vanity sized, somehow I can't find my measuring tape so I exchanged for waist 29 from waist 30, let's see, I hope I don't have to exchange again for waist 28...

Let us know how it turns out. I'm thinking of buying these and now I'm wondering if the vanity is like RRL (plus 2). I'm a 28/29 in RRL, so I'll probably take the same size as you.

EXACTLY the same response I've gotten from the Nordstrom stores in the Chicago area. They've never even heard of RRL. Then they lead me over to their tiny assortment of Polo merchandise.

Incidentally, if your car is only in the shop once a year, consider yourself damn lucky.

I drive absurd little (nyc you’re better of not drive), l have the car for 5 years now and it just got over 10,000 miles not too long ago. Though when I went to the dealer servicer advisor was like well in addition to annual oil change would you like to change spark plug as recommended every 5 years, I was like why would I do that for 10k miles engine…

You would have been sorely disappointed if there was any.
I was in the Bellevue WA Nordstrom a few weeks ago which is comparable to the downtown Seattle flagship store in terms of designer goods. They had a partial rack of seemingly random stuff. Maybe 10 different styles. Oddly, they had the western embroidered velvet tuxedo jacket which approximately no one here would wear. They had more Purple Label stuff than RRL.

A bunch of new “pre-order” items at Cultizm.com
Don’t forget CW35 code.
For USAns, ends up being about 45% discount depending upon your sales tax rate

The Houston Nordstrom at Galleria carried a decent selection of RRL - keyword, carried. They discontinued carrying it about 7 or 8 months ago.

Seemed like whenever I ordered something from Nordstrom it came from Houston store with a strong perfumey scent . Then I noticed the same scent on something shipped from Houston Ralph store.
