The Official RRL Thread

I only recently got into RRL, but I am already in love with this brand. I don't think I will be buying anything else for a while. I think I have around 15-20 pieces, but this dress shirt and the red oil cloth jacket from the most recent season are among my favorite pieces . Also love the RRL jeans, don't think I'll be going back to Levi's.

just where is this walkway??

Just a park outside of Seattle.

Yep. That looks about what I remember of west Texas. Flat and not a tree in sight.
I quickly crossed Texas off the list of states to flee to.

West Texas thanks you for that

Few more pics. If you’ve never been to Big Bend (given remoteness I assume that means most), it’s a beautiful place. Darkest night skies in the lower 48, and just a beautiful place. These pics aren’t Big Bend, but about 90 minutes north of there

I can’t ever go back to any other jeans. I’m used to Japanese denim such as PBJ, Samurai etc etc and RRL jeans just fit perfect. Never guessing about fit and quality is just always amazing.

Be careful with this assumption about never guessing about fit! I have RRL jeans ranging in size from 30 to 33 depending on cut, so making this assumption can sometimes lead to disappointment.

Yes, for many this seems to be the case. I’m a size 28 across the board and have never been disappointed for the past 10 or so years…but it might just be my mindset that some alteration is always needed haha I’m 5’7 128 lbs fyi 😓😂

There's a very noticeable difference in quality (for the better, obviously). So far, the fits have been perfect as well. I don't remember how I discovered RRL because I am not really that much into fashion, but glad that I did discover it. I don't think this brand of Ralph Lauren is very well known in the Netherlands. It isn't carried by the main high-end fashion stores, just by a select few smaller stores here and there.

I'd really like to try some RRL jeans but I have a hard time with the logo being on the pocket. Not sure why it bothers me. I might bite the bullet and try out their straight fit though. My go-to's have been various washes of the LVC 1947 cut and warehouse 1001's/800's which are also great.

Assume you mean the stitched logo on coin pocket, which can actually be very subtle, depending on what wash you get. My main grievance with the brand is that most of their washes are now an over $500 proposition (with sale taxes), so while I used to be good for 4 or 5 pair a year when I first started buying in 2010, I might buy one pair a year now when I am really blown away by the wash.

Yes, that's what I meant. I agree with you on price- that's my issue with the brand in its entirety. I find most of their stuff too expensive at retail price when there are alternatives that offer a similar quality or look for at times, much less. 200-300 for jeans seems much more reasonable. I'm a sucker for the RRL storytelling though.

$50 or less is even more reasonable.

eBay is your friend, think I have only purchased some shirt jacket and chino from Mansion or the West Broadway store everything else is eBay/Poshmark/Grailed/TRR etc…

Anyone get the limited edition straights from fall season? Any thoughts on it?

Just noticed the sewing in my limited straights hides the selvedge on one of the legs 😭
