Anybody else enjoying the striped double cloth overshirt from the latest sale? Milworks had a few sizes available when I checked this morning. (No cats or garments were harmed in the taking of this photo)

and still there I'm still on the fence...

edit: related PRL handknit

Those of you with RRL denim experience, I have a few questions for you guys. Now that LVC is dead, I’ve been considering other brands and for as much as I like RRL for other stuff I thought I might give their denim a try.
One that caught my eye was the straight fit hillsview.


I have the herringbone utility pants and field officers chino (same size), would I wear the same size in these jeans?

next question, Huckberry has a "slim fit" version of these jeans, but also they list all their jeans as slim fit. did they just get lazy and not label the fits correctly?

Hillsview is the name of the wash. They switch up what cut they do for a wash. Those Huckleberry ones have plain back pockets so likely are slim fit cut. Slim narrow also has plain pockets though.

Not sure if the right forum but would appreciate your insight. Picked up one of these black and red buffalo’s at outlet recently, doesn’t have a throat latch and I'm in need of one for winter in the UK (collar is too floppy and weirdly the similar polo coat in green and black does come with a latch and waist adjustment - explain that!?) think this will work out?

Possible styles - 1) use spare/replacement button for button and string style (like below), 2) try to colour match with hidden throat latch? 3) different fabric and hidden latch?

thanks zippyh. I didn't realize the used the same wash for different cuts.
also the straight fits I was looking at on RRL have plain pockets..
Ralph has both straight fit and slim fit Hillsview available right now.
Straights have the loop pocket stitch.

Strange how they're both East-West fabric in Hillsview wash but are distinctly different shades of blue. I really love the greencast color of the Straight Leg.

I’d get same size in all cuts except maybe slim narrow. Black denim seems to fit tighter too.
