The Official RRL Thread

Moar stuff needed!

I admit it's getting excessive, but I have to catch up, wasted years not minding fashion

This is what I have received so far this season:

I have also ordered the following items, but won't be keeping all of them: I will choose 1 jeans and 2/3 shirts from these. I also intend to order a jacket, either the white trucker jacket or the green jacket, of which you purchased the blue version. I think the green jacket, as I already have several trucker jackets.

I also got into "SUN SURF", a Japanese brand specializing in Hawaiian shirt. The detail and material is amazing and I highly recommend them if you are looking for vintage-style, unique summer shirts:

Does the RRL sale on Ralph Lauren's website (in Europe) ever go to 50%? I've bought a lot of shirts already, but a couple are still looking at me.

Europe these days caps at 30% online.

Thank you, good to know.

I use a Dutch cashback website called "Cashback XXL". Right now the cashback for Ralph Lauren is 8%, but sometimes it becomes 16%. Over the years I have got between 1-2k back from cashback websites, it's worth it in my opinion, it paid for my new macbook air .

I'll check it out. I'm Dutch too, so I should be able to access it!

There's another Dutch RRL fan on here, but I forgot his username. I recently visited the Ralph Lauren boutique in Amsterdam and asked them whether they carry RRL. They told me they do and asked me to follow them downstairs. 3 items. Don't bother visiting for RRL or Purple Label. "Tenue Denimes" (boutique clothing store) carries more RRL stuff, but it's overpriced, sometimes more expensive than on ralphlauren.com. Stick to online and take advantage of the sales & cashback rewards .

Sad to read that. I understood that the store is newly reopened and online I read about the store carrying RRL. Maybe it will get better. If not, I have a good reason to visit the store in Paris, London or maybe even New York in the future.

I saw the Tenue Denimes store online. Might be a good place to buy some jeans, because I've seen the term vanity sizing come by a lot any have no idea which size to buy 🤔.

What is vanity sizing?

What is vanity sizing?

When items are larger than the marked size. So people can say they wear a smaller size than if items were appropriately marked.

What is vanity sizing?

Vanity sizing is a global conspiracy between shippers and online retailers to maximize shipping fee revenues from product returns.

By the way, may I know where you read about that online? Curious to read where else RRL is discussed (in the Netherlands).

FWIW, I recently purchased an RRL bag via Farfetch which shipped out of the Netherlands. No idea where it originated though.

On Textilia, a fashion business site if I'm correct. I was wondering if there was still a store in Amsterdam, so I googled Ralph Lauren Amsterdam. On the pictures you see one RRL corner, with a few of the items also offered online right now.

Now that the vanity sizing is discussed. I have couple of regular Levi 501 jeans in 31x32 that fit great. some room around the waist. Ample leg room (really a straight fit jeans).

A while back I ordered RRL straight fit jeans in 31x32 which was a lot tighter, both around the waist and the legs. Similarly with the officer chino.

Can it be that the Levi 501 jeans I'm wearing are even more vanity sized?

 

[Mollysdad]

Any experience with momotaro jeans?

Weird as I find Levis almost TTS, at least the LVC 501s

I'm a newcomer to this thread, but have a question for those who are a bit deeper in the RRL brand: I purchased a pair of RRL white denims last year secondhand, mainly just because I thought the fit was good, and I have major trouble finding well fitting pants that aren't MTM. Without doubt they fit me better than any other jeans I have ever owned (these are cinched waist, larger hips and thighs, slightly tapered leg). I'm interested in finding other pants from the brand with the same fit, but have stopped by a local RL store (phoenix) and the new stuff fits the way all other jeans fit these days, very tight through the hips and thighs. Any tips on how I can figure out what vintage the ones I have are and find others like it on eBay, etc.? other than made in USA, there isn't much info on the tag.

Would appreciate any insight , thanks!

does anyone know how much the RRL fits have changed in the past several years? what are the odds that they still make this fit that i got secondhand, maybe I just need to go to a bigger RL store to find a similar fit?
