How do the straight legs and slim boots run in raw?
anyone seen the low straight with blue line selvedge and without the "made of japanese denim" on the inside pocket
IIRC I have seen some Cone Mill denim on some limited run stuff, but the majority of their stuff is MIJ.. its the foundation of the brand image
whodini tell us that story again where you went to an rrl store beause *********** up your order and they didn't do anything for you beyond what they would have done for any random customer
1. Yes, I doubt at this point RRL would stamp "MADE OF THE FINEST JAPANESE DENIM" then suddenly stop doing so unless they went with a lower grade denim that wasn't made in Japan (chinese denim - similar to prl selvedge denim is a possibility!) I also do not see why they would reduce the retail price point on these models unless the denim was changed or altered in a significant (lower quality) way.
You don't know RRL if you think they'd start using Chinese denim. Period. Could be that what you saw was American (as they have used American before) but I doubt it. Did you try seeing where the jeans were made? That would be a big indicator. I'm not sure how it's hearsay that not all Japanese denim is equal. Look at what the Gap put out a few years ago with their Japanese selvage line that sold for under $100. I'd take White Oak Cone any day of the week over crap like that. You simply can't say Japan denim>everyone else because it simply isn't true not to mention that you look completely misinformed to the rest of us. To add more lulz, even the Japanese don't revere their own denim the way outsiders do; it's no secret that Levi's, as well as made in US apparel/denim like Sugar Cane, is some of the most highly sought-after and expensive stuff over there. I'm not sure what you think you have over my head or why you think that I've invented any kind of information. Talk with RRL managers, affiliates who carry the line, or RRL's rep and you would have just as much familiarity with the brand that I do.
Ah.. Tooch4321, I was waiting for whodini's only bromo to show up and play white knight.

Er, wha?2. All their denim seems to point to being Japan made unless stated otherwise, or not stated at all..which is what i'm still trying to get to the bottom of.
3. Is this the part where you bore me with hearsay evidence about how Japanese denim is in no way superior to denim produced in other countries? Spare me the boredom.
That's just rude, but... one of the original members of this board has actually been with Ralph Lauren for a long time now, and he followed the RRL relaunch closely, I believe. If he wants to comment, he will.4. Are you an RRL rep or affiliated with RRL or Ralph Lauren in ANY WAY? I didn't think so, please do not speculate on what they do or do not do to reduce production costs. Beyond your occasional outing to an RRL store and your failed attempts to strike up a scintillating and meaningful conversation with the sales clerks, you are as clueless as the rest of us.
5. You're like that little turd that won't flush down the toilet.
