You could consider using the following forwarder: https://www.forward2me.com

I have used them once and had a pleasant experience with them. I am not affiliated with them in any way, so I still recommend you do your own due diligence if you consider using them.

Also, be aware that RRL uses vanity+2 sizing. For example, RRL size 30 fits a 32" waist.
I sized down one (30) on these slim once-washed selvedge from my TTS 31. Thoughts on fit? Too small? Switch from slim to straight? Waist seems to fit correctly. Thanks for any input.

Yes, thanks, that one's not in the way of the belt for a change! On a separate note, I wonder why they put the leather patches on the left side on this jean?
There's a fabric Long R patch on the right where the leather patch usually goes.
🤷‍♂️
Also, I removed the suspender buttons.

That model of RRL jeans is a reproduction of a model originally made by Lee, I believe the originals by Lee go back as far as the 1930's. The model is called Lee Rider 101, at least a some of the early examples had the patches located on the left, such as the one below.

I'm in Europe and for me it works like this: I click on the US-link and it redirects me to my local RL landing page, then I click on the US-link (or basically any link that would redirect to a local page) again and then it works. (Chrome on Mac)

What do you mean US-link? Could you post a screen shot? My local website is the Hong Kong website. As far as I can tell, all the links on the HK landing page would take me to other pages on the HK website (as I can see they have a *.hk address in the bottom left corner of my browser).

What do you guys reckon of those leather jackets that have polyester filling and lining? Does it affect your willingness to buy them?

I don't mind if there's poly in the ribbed cuffs etc. But polyester filling in a jacket makes me wonder whether over time it'll pick up an odor that can't be eliminated by dry cleaning, given how notorious poly is for holding on to odors. Particularly if I intend to own the jacket for a long time.

It looks to me just like the Slim Fit is supposed to look. I'm an actual 31" waist myself and I always have to go down to a RRL size 29, but if those fit you in the waist, then you've found your size. And you got it on the first try, which is better than a lot of people!
