Not with the same overall details in the pant, you might want to ask to get pictures of the Heartland pant. I think the faded version might be close to the shade you would like. Maybe ask them to take a pic of the pair next to a khaki officer chino pant as comparison. I've taken pics in natural light (it's overcast right now so not a lot of light) and then w/ flash and placed the Orchard St pair against what I think most people consider khaki. Unless you've seen the new or older LE selvedge chinos in person and in natural light, I think most don't realize how brown they are. Due to the sheen of the raw fabric, it makes them look close to a normal shade of khaki in photos when they really aren't. Officer Chino vs Orchard St

Orchard St vs Catalog 2

Hate them, personally...extremely high-waisted and dorky. But maybe that's just the way I see them fitting on me; I don't know...

When you hit 40 it's all you can wear...

Froosh:

I would grab a pair of the duck pants from the new Heartland collection. They have the same details as the Collection 2 pant with the color of the officer's chinos. The 34's are almost sold out. $ 290.

Nice find, looks like Ship Yard officer chinos.

Those wool officer chinos are from Orchard St. Nice as well but really slim in the leg.

Cool, thanks guys. Are the Heartland duck pants the usual actual waist = tagged size + 2"? I noticed Namor's were tagged 33 but were only 1" bigger.

Yes, they have very limited RRL items and sizes, in fact I think they are leftovers from the UK because RRL are not distributed in Spain (I think). In Madrid there is another "village" called "Las Rozas Village", but their RL Outlet is smaller and they never heard a word about RRL

Do they make the straight leg model in jeans anymore. All the jeans coming up these day on B&S are low straight, bootcut or slim fit.

, well, I am 34 and all I feel comfortable in are straight leg mid to high rise jeans. I wear a 30 size jeans in RRL which have an actual measurements of 32-33" in the waist. I believe that front and back rise measurements are around 11.5 and 15.5 inches in that size. I have worn 1947 501, Eternal 811, Roy straight leg, and Samurai 710 and IME the rises of all these are within .5 inches of each other. I had the Momo with the battle stripes and I sold it because I felt the rise was too low. I dont think the jeans look too high rise on me. And even if they do, for me most important is not to wonder for a moment if my butt crack or underwear band is showing. Surely no high rise jeans would look worse than a 34 year father of one with his low rise jeans half way down his ass . I am going to get either this or that next. Both are mentioned as having 11" and 15" front and back rise. However, given the sentiment here that the straight leg jeans are 'dorky', I will put up a pic and get some feedback before buying another of these. Give me till the weekend to put up a pic

my straights sz 30 (i'm a true 32) have a rise of 10.5. posted them a few pages back and i don't think they look dorky aside from being maybe .5" or so too short.

Sorry, was not able to make an outlet run yesterday. I'll let you guys know next I can make it, as it seems like my outlet has suddenly become a good place for RRL.

Anyone in the DC area try the RL outlet in Leesburg for RRL?
