Logically it would make sense to be named after the ranch, given the style of the clothing. I don't have a definitive answer either way but it would be nice to know.

The older lady that worked at RRL Georgetown was a complete ***** by the way.

It's Ricki and Ralph Lauren. Ralph named his ranch "RRL" using the initials and named the line after it because he felt like the collection would be something he would wear around the ranch.

Teger can ask around but I heard before a while ago. I believe my sources.

I bought my oxford over there when we stopped through DC and she was sort of bitchy to me and I asked I tried to order something over the phone once during a sale and she accused me of being a SA at another store and wanted to know who my store manager was. When I insisted that I wasn't an employee she continued to grill me and wanted to know who my SA was who told me to call. It was beyond absurd.

Yeah I stopped in. It was atrocious and there was absolutely nobody there. I saw a room to the back that looked like a bar that a bunch of guys were hanging out in, though. Keep in mind it was about 11am so I have no idea what was really going on.

The J. Crew in the mall wasn't great either but the Barney's Co-Op was awesome compared to Atlanta.

if you think that coop is awesome... god help you.

that j crew is ok. I go there because its convenient, but it gets super packed on the weekends and they always keep the dressing rooms at 110 degrees.

also those people you saw hanging out were the sales people.

Then they had like 10 SAs working, unless they were doing some kind of merchandising or something.
