I feel that the new slim straights fit quite similarly to low straights. The leg opening wasn't much wider, if at all. Hard to tell by the naked eye. Then they're nice and slim through the top block. I'm no expert but the only significant difference to me is that they have a higher rise, which is good for me as I've been wearing a lot of vests recently and feel that the low straights just sit too low.

Sorry Denim, I can't really remember if there was stitching on the back or not. It's not something I'm really bothered about. I don't think the RRL stitching was there but I wasn't really looking.

The leg opening stitching (last pic) makes it look like someone just made those and attached the RRL label before taking those pics and put it on ebay, lol


There were a bunch on eBay maybe a year or two ago. I believe they are plaid tuxedo (indicated by the side stripe) jeans from a black tie holiday collection, I just don't remember when. They are slim fit as well.

I bought a pair of those off ebay summer of 11.
They're cut a lot slimmer than other RRL and the denim doesn't seem to stretch as much as normal denim.

Isn't it this jean? http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/...145641&ab=ln_men_cs2_seeall&parentPage=family

Looks like low straight detailing to me all around.

Looks like it--it'd be nice if RRL put pics of the cuffs, so you could verify that it's actual selvedge. I'm definitely apprehensive of dropping the cash on them without seeing them in person now.
They're selvedge. I saw them firsthand in the store. I don't like the lighter fabric but maybe that's a personal preference. The only jeans that I've seen of theirs that are not selvedge are the seasonal color washes - like the olive slim fit ones from last season. Although in the past those were selvedge too...
