I've got a Belstaff Roadmaster which is very similar to that linked RRL. Same color, but it's not a heavy waxed cotton but a lighter weight skyoil fabric. It's also not fully lined. No idea if they still make it. The one I got was from J Crew. I think original price was about the same as that RRL.
That RRL style with the slanted breast pocked appears to be copying the Belstaff Trialmaster/Barbour International. The Belstaffs are a somewhat trim fit. I have no experience with the International but it is supposed to be a trimmer than usual fit for Barbour. There are also the trim fitting To Ki To Barbours out there. The standard Barbour Internationals run about $420. The Belstaffs I think are a bit more than the RRL. If it matters, for the most part the Belstaffs are made in Italy and the Barbours are made in England.
Hoit, both Belstaff and Barbour sell rewaxing goo. It looks messy though.


Thanks guys. Belstaff is what I was thinking, too, but it's tough to find them in any color but black these days. I'll keep my eye out. I saw the RRL jacket in person and while it looks nice the quality just isn't there versus Belstaff/Barbour, especially in regard to hardware. $200? Maybe. $600? Nope.

At least a year ago. Been replaced by a surf shop. I mentioned this a few months ago.

There is still a good RL store in Bal Harbor if anyone is in the area and wants to check it out.

I think South Coast Plaza RL doesn't carry RRL anymore.
Vegas RL at Palazzo carries some RRL bags. They had some awesome leather duffle bag that was retailed for like $1400 or something.

My SA at the Vegas RL told me they were going to start carrying some RRL clothing items.
He was vague as to what (other than denim) and when though. This was back in November.

I don't like how the waist strap is that long, makes them look like womens pants.
