Rookie question so I'm ready for any heat I get...so majority of my RRL pants are slim fit. Well now that I have massive thighs, should I just suck it up and go up a waist and stick with slim fit? Or how does low straight, straight, vintage compare to slim fit. Recent data preferred but I'm all ears

You, of all people, are not a rookie!

For reference I am 5'10" 155lbs and like you, my closet is littered with RRL. Shirts, shorts, trunks, bags, blankets, jeans, pants, and too many jackets. I have several different cuts of denim but prefer the low straight. I take them directly to my tailor who makes the adjustments I require and they are always a perfect, custom fit. I think slim and 'skinny' fit should not be worn on men past age 35 but that's just my biased opinion ??‍♂️

Would agree about "aging out" of slim and skinny fit. I'm waaay past 35.:-D Even when young, though, was not fond of low-rise. Generally speaking I think fashion if uncomfortable to wear is rather worthless.

Might have found my perfect cut (is it sad I forget I have this pair ? ) but I've yet to see another straight taper pair. Anyway, fit for trivia night. Trying to win my dinner so I have money to buy more RRL...

While these aren't RRL, if you're looking for more jeans with this kind of fit-I have a pair of TWC relaxed fit denim that really is more of a straight taper with a higher rise.

These are mine in size 30 that have about a 7.5" opening. If you're interested I would email them and double check the measurements because I didn't find them accurate. Great quality denim though and worth it for sure with the sale price.

Speaking of Grizzlies, are the RRL ones from the Japanese sellers legit?

I stopped in one of the RRL stores yesterday and here are a few take aways to take note;

- The Fall 2021 catalog is now available in stores
- The Fall 1 sale isn’t likely to happen till around Thanksgiving
- I was told that there hasn’t been any decision yet about the spend over $1,000 and get $500 off sale
- A lot of the Fall/Winter items on the website are not physically in the stores yet (however not everything is on the floor so it’s also kind of hard to tell)
- These 3 pieces might be somewhat under appreciated based solely on just the website photos but are extremely nice and should not be overlooked IMHO;

(edited)

I bought a pair of these today from the London Newburgh Street Store. These in real life are totally different from the photos, and much better. The wash / worn look is barely visible really, there are no buttons the waist for braces, and the profile on the back is straight ( no v shape in the centre ). Still has the buckle back and tool pocket. Fits slimmer than I expected and certainly worth checking out as a highlight trouser of the season. Will upload pictures to show ( and yes I did double check to see if it was the same item - it is - but a huge difference from the product shots) other highlights are the striped fleece, which is stunning and the Indigo wool shawl cardigan.

PSA. Stag Provisions has a denim sale with 20% off through Sunday that includes RRL

Thanks for this. Just make sure to compare prices to RRL website. I noticed they raised the price from 249.00 to 299.00 on the brown wash slim fit jeans. Sneaky!
