The Official RRL Thread

[Kensington]



They also jacked the prices up on just about everything that was on sale. The Pasadena jeans were $175 yesterday. Today they are $212.

Ha, I noticed the weird price fluctuations as I was shopping. I guess I lucked out because the two items I had bookmarked were reduced and this added coupon made me throw in a full price item I thought might sell out quickly later.

Im extremely disappointed in RRL. I received my flight jacket and the leather chest triangles were unevenly stitched. The hand pockets were too small. Dont get me wrong. Fit was perfect. Sleeve length was perfect. Materials and quality were great. The throat tab could also be hidden under the collar with the button. What a let down. Beautiful bomber jacket made to waste. Can i return rrl stuff to the polo outlet?

Thanks for all the responses folks. I guess I'll leave them alone for now. I just tend to eschew any logos so it's not really appealing to me to have distinctive stitching on the back. It reminds me of the denim craze for Jordache jeans or true religion jeans. I'm also fond of minimalism in general so I like APC style with no pocket stitching. I used to own a pair of APC's but for all the hype and the price I thought the quality wasn't so great.

I'd also like to add for anyone wondering that I love the slim straight fit coming from the slim fits. I can now comfortably leave my shirts tucked in which is important to me. Can't stand super low rise pants made for men.

And as someone else answered my pair are just the standard Slim-straight jean not the Ro-bucks.

Have you washed them yet? Wondering about shrinkage, since I need to hem an inch or two of the length.

Officer's field chino in Gurka is now $97, down from $130 yesterday.

Ha, not even close. I bought them about a month ago and I've only worn them once so far. I'm not really a denim guy.

I never hem any of my pants anymore unless it's a suit pant. Why not just cuff 'em and avoid the trouble?

If anyone has the new look book and could share it I would be very appreciative. Message me if so.

For those who have Slim straight and regular slim fit. Did you'll size down 1 for slim straight compared to your normal slim fit size or did you'll size the same?.I'm more concerned with the thighs being too tight if I size down.

Some things appear to have gone down, others up? (shrug)

How slim is the slim fit?
Was looking at this:

Coming from ps apc's what are these comparable to? Thanks.

And anyone know if the chainstitch run off on the new haven shirt is on the front or back of the selvedge line? If that's kind of a clear question? Had it slimmed down a bit in the torso and the person who did it removed the chainstitching and now I'm having him redo it.

anyone?!!!!!

I think you'll be lucky to get the lookbooks anymore on pdf from SA.

RL are apparently very nervous since the Native American uproar over the Holiday period with the lookbook images.

I used to have APC Petit Standard in I think the same size I wear in RRL (28) and PS was much skinnier. They were skin tight where-as RRL slim fit has a little more breathing room. At least in my case anyway.

Hi Gentlemen,

Question on Rigid slim fits sizing. I fit perfect with my once washed low straight and once was slim fit size 30. Should I size down to 29 for Slim Fit Rigids? are the rigids Sanforized? also the difference again to once wahed aside from being stiff? will take into account shrinkage of course when I get one. Anybody's 2 cents will much appreciated.

Best,

I have the PDF. If you want it PM me with your email address and I will forward on.

Some pretty cool stuff coming in this next season!

if a pair of RRL denim says it is "unwashed" does that mean i want to buy larger than i normally would in RRL jeans since i would eventually wash them?
