The bootcut is real slim for a boocut. When I tried it on for the first time I couldn't even believe it was a bootcut.

Besides RL or RRL flagship stores and a few outlets, DenimBar and a few other boutique shops like Blake or HTC.

Blake in Portland, Mauro at Denimbar, and the various RRL stores operated by RL.

To Denimbar:

I don't see any RRL on your site. Can you link me, please? Or is it sold out? I don't even see an RRL section.

repressedm, look at the Denimbar blog. You can see a few things, but I'd say it's only like 4 or 5 items.

Okayyyy...one last question.

How slim are the slim fits? xchen's picture seems pretty damn slim LINK but whodini's slim fit seems to leave a little more room LINK

Also, how much different are the slims from the straight legs?

Thanks again.

Who's were the previous generation slim bootcuts IIRC and mine are the current generation slim fits which is an entirely different cut. And about the 31s Mauro I've looked high and low but everyone's told me that currently they aren't making 31s. I've been to the store here like 30 times at least and never seen jeans in a 31. Have seen 29, 30, 32, 33, and up but 31 is elusive every time.

i actually picked up a pair of baby blue selvedge RRL's at a value village last week. 30x30, they were too short so i turned them into jean shorts but still, japanese selvedge for 5 bucks can't be beat

You should have flipped them on here who isn't as tall as you. Unless you dig the infamous jorts look.

so, i just bought a pair of slim fit selvage denim from eBay.

thanks for all the help, fellas. Unfortunately, I had to buy them without trying them on (ending auction, busy with work)....so, I hope they fit.

I'll try posting pics of them as soon as they come in.

31's just started this season. I have had the collection for three seasons and this is the first time they were available. Before this season they were not.
