yea thats whats up


Oh, can we talk about RRL now?

I returned the "work" shirt that I purchased on line as it fit huge in the body. I kept the "western" shirt and even ordered another one as it fit much better.

Do all the work shirts fit like tents?

I'm a 44 chest with a 17 neck and my shoulders are 19.5". Going down a size would make the arms, shoulders and neck too small.

I'm a 44 with 16.5 neck 6'1"and have found that most RRL's shirts in a large fit me very well. And do give me a nice slim fit.

For example this one:

The XL's tend to be too large for me. Although the sizing can be all over the place. Some of the cuts of their shirts are not very good and would not work for me in either the L or XL.

I tried on the moto jacket yesterday in Chicago while hanging out with Dastig. Fit is TTS and slim and the jacket is amazing. He told me they already sold a bunch of them at full price but if one is around still when they go on sale I might grab one

So it must have been just that particular work shirt and not their work shirts in general.

You guys just don't get it. This isn't about me missing out on a sale item. I'm just making a general statement on resellers. I think you guys are like used car salesmen and ticket scalpers. I hate to overuse the 'vulture' analogy, but it works well.

Capitalism and $upply & Demand are hallmarks of the US economy while generalizations about a group are usually just uniformed opinion. Maybe your just a Communist...anyway.

R

P.S.Sans the bitching and name calling but thru positive posts on SF and polite discourse via PM with a few re-sellers I able to score several very sweet deals on a few items that originally slipped my grasp. Thnaks to those re-sellers....you know who you are!

Im about the same as you. XS in sweaters and cardigans, Small in workshirts and westerns and small for t shirts. I found the size small cafe racer to be a great fit. Its snug the way a motorcycle jacket should be. Very heavy and feels like its going to last a lifetime. It was borderline too tight on me but thats mostly because i havent been in the gym lately

Look pal, thanks for the fatherly advice, but you're way off the mark. This has nothing to do with not being able to afford the items. I've probably been shopping RL longer than you've been alive.

It's just that, in my opinion, resellers are the lowest of the low, along with ticket scalpers (and parasites and leeches). And like scalpers, they act like they're doing everyone a big favor by sucking up supply and then ripping people off. They should get out of the sewer and get a real job. Now run along, son.

any "real job" on the planet involves filling somebody's need , whether it be a service or a good. this usually involves taking on huge amounts of risk in the form of profits/losses. what if that leech bought 1000 shirts and not a single one sold for him to make a profit? is he a leech then?

this guy.
