Nice profile of Ralph at the ranch. No paywall to worry about: https://www.ft.com/content/235e962c-4c0c-4348-ae44-fdcf7fa04ea5

Read it. Have never understood why anyone, no matter how rich, would want 5 homes. 2 I could understand but trying to spend time in each of your homes would amount to relatively short stays in each. Guess it beats staying in a motel.

I can see to have different homes in different climate areas for the different season. If you feel too cold/warm/dry/humid you move to the place you like, i can get that. Or if you want to switch between different areas in generals based on your mood. (City/countryside/desert/forest/alpine …)

Hi guys, very new to RRL, was wondering what are you guys thinking of this leather jacket https://www.ralphlauren.com/men-clo...jacket/0044680791.html?utm_source=organiccse? I really like the vintage look of it, want to know opinions by people who have bought/tried it on.

Has anyone had more success finding new items on the US RRL website that might only look like they are available in the EU site by just using the search function? Last night I just typed up a plaid wool fleece jacket that looked like it was only available in the EU. Using the search function got me that same one in the US. Is this normal/typical of RL?

I live my RRL hand tooled attaché. Unfortunately, matching pieces are hard to come by, and in the case of the pecos bag, see Stag attached, discontinued.

In a bit of a constant obsession, I think I have found the Mexican manufacturer of the pieces through Etsy. See attached the tote and pecos, along with my shoulder bag.

I will get the pecos bag riveted at the straps and perhaps the logo dyed. Otherwise to me, they’re dead on - and for 1/3 the rrl price.

At last.

$175 at 1.5” width, and appears to be rrl’s hand-tooler lol. If RRL won’t make it, I’ll find someone who does 🔥💃🏼🔥

It only works if you have a jet and/or helicopter to make moving from one to the other easy. It just sounds awful because you’re thinking of driving or flying commercial between the places.

Anyone else ever let themselves get duped into holding onto hang tags?

If anyone wants these let me know and I will send you an envelope full.

I‘d be fine with business or first class commercial

I've got it. It's...fine. If you're used to RRL leathers from 10 years ago it'll feel kind of light weight in comparison but it's a decent weight in absolute terms. Fit is slim-ish. It had a strong kind of funky leather smell when new but has since dissipated. I wouldn't pay $1900 for it but at the sale price I got it for I'm happy with it.

RL product database is kind of trash.

If you go Men->Our Brands->RRL you get fewer results than if you go Men->All Clothing and then hit Filter/Sort and select RRL. I remember seeing that plaid fleece jacket earlier in the week.

Thanks for the info! Do you mind sharing how much you got it for? And any recommendations for similar leather jacket with vintage processing?

How do you like that overshirt? How’s the fit?

Haven’t bought much RRL at full price but that one has been on my mind…

I don’t keep the hang tags but I’ve got a bunch of the cardboard things that come on the back pockets of denim that I’ve saved over the years (no RRL denim though).
