What were your measurements (see first quote) from then?
I had thought you had the jacket and it fit. A previous version?
Measurements and pic sent to me by a SA, then passed on to someone who asked.

You must return those for either replacement or a refund. The shank in the sole is loose and wasn't set properly. This will cause the boot to creak and click. The fix is very expensive as the sole must be opened up and the shank seated again. Not worth the time or trouble.
Thanks. They are already on their way back. Made in USA, kind of disappointing.

This happens all the time now with boots. They use plastic/nylon shanks that don't seat as well as steel so you see a greater amount of creaking boots out there.

FWIW The site states that the boots have a steel shank.

Starting Tuesday it will be 25% off sale price.


is that on top of the 40%?

Never mind: I think it is.

New question: is that the lowest mark down of the season before hitting the outlet?

Hrmm I've had this happen with my combat boots before but the clicking problem went away on its own and I don't notice anything structurally wrong with them.

I posted earlier about the A2 jacket, and that I went with the XL. The L just was too tight in the shoulders. I know a lot of guys like snug fitting leather jackets, but this leather is very thick, making it very restrictive if it is snug. Plus, the L sleeves were a little short on me.

Having said that, the more I looked at the jacket, the more I felt it was too baggy in the chest and waist. I ended up having my tailor take it in 4 inches on the sides. I just don't see this jacket fitting well for most people without some tailoring.

Hi,

I purchased a pair of RRL Slim Fit Rigids from this seller about 4 months ago. I can attest that the jeans I purchased are authentic. The seller has a small shop in LA's garment district. I picked the item up from her in person and had no issue.

Just picked up the gambler in a small - pic attached.  I'm selling a similarly styled buffalo plaid moto style jacket on Ebay if anyone is interested.  It's not RRL, blue label, but really nice and thought some on here would be interested.
