The Official RRL Thread

This one is from F/W 2014. I have it. It's super thick and crazy warm. One of my favorite RRL pieces.

I didn't know I wanted this until I saw it.

Oftentimes not seeing sth. is bliss.

I'm a designer and I've been playing with the idea of making a site to catalog my collection and those of others if they are interested. There's so much great stuff that gets lost over time and I'm trying to scrape together as much of it as possible. Wondering if anyone at the company might know if there's an archive there of all the product shots.

I had a very similar idea. On one of my semi-annual trips to NYC, I mentioned my interest to a sales associate, who told me that there were people in the company who were talking about creating an historical product archive. He said he would put me in touch with these individuals, but I didn't hear back from him. After a few weeks my emails started bouncing so I assume he left Ralph Lauren.

I believe there must be some sort of repository that can be leveraged.

Ralph Lauren absolutely would have an archive of their products, but whether they'd open up access is a different question. I suspect a user-contributed archive would be more likely (& ultimately more powerful).

Photos, materials, country of origin, season, collection name, retail price & measurements would all be really useful. It could allow product-specific discussion and buy & sell. I'm surprised Styleforum haven't developed something like this.

This would be awesome. I'd love to see people contributing information about their collection and having a place to store/share research about pieces from the past or their significance. And the ability to reach out and talk to people globally about our shared interest. It would be like here but with a catalog on top.

Do it, Heck!

there is a pretty good website that i like to consult from time to time that seems sort of in line with this idea:

Has anybody got this Limited Edition jacket from SS17? Any feedback or photos?

I've come across a couple of their shirts, but haven't actually worn one.


Lebowski chic?

exactly ... never heard of them bnefore. looks like a cheap wannabe alternative once i went to their actual website. looks to be a pass. was hoping for a similar vein to rrl

I haven't come across one since I lived in the Bay Area, but I recall that they were reasonably well made. I wouldn't expect an aesthetic clone of any other brand, but if you dig their style, they're fine.

The cardigan is on European eBay (not mine), if you're still looking for it PM me and I'll forward the link.

I saw this also. I checked the sellers other RRL items and definitely saw some red flags for possible counterfeit goods. He definitely has some bags and wallets that are fake.

Mindlessly browsing Instagram when I stumbled upon this: https://www.instagram.com/p/BSEvr_7jkVT/?taken-by=vladimirgurev. At least he's happy...?

I'm torn between telling him the truth about his jacket and letting him be happy. What a Sophie's choice.

Haha word, was thinking the exact same thing. If I was sure he'd be able to keep the jacket and get his money back, then I'd tell him.
