"I'm sick to death, like I've never been sick before..." about sums up how I feel about Japan's resellers of RRL on eBay over the past four years:
  • selection? the least good pieces, the flops, the bottom tier of quality
  • ridiculous, useless sizes
  • absurdly inflated prices
  • no measurements, ever
  • nonsense words in every listing's title
  • no description, nothing helpful...
Basically, effectively checking every box for unlocking the wack seller "achievement"

you can message them to get measurements kind annoying though or you can just use buyee/fromJapan for much better price anyway

I've been surprised by this as well. There's a lot of cool pieces there, but when the prices aren't outrageous my scammer/faker sense starts tingling. The same photos being used by several different sellers doesn't help. A Japanese seller has a Schott jacket I've been tempted to buy for 22% retail but two other sellers from Japan are using the same photos of it.

Not RRL, but RMC will work with same aesthetic

Does anyone have these limited edition waxed canvas jeans? I normally wear 30 or 31 with belt but managed to find a pair only in 29 online. They are currently fitted, very stiff and not very comfortable but not impossible. I'm wondering if they will stretch out a bit with wear.

Also, how do you care for the wax coating? Can you wash these in the machine or dry clean only?

Thanks.

No clue to your question but I love how it looks. In general though wax cotton if you wash you need to reapply right (regardless what type of cleaning)?

Edit I would google Barbour wax cotton care instructions type of thing

How do you prefer trousers to be finished?

  • Plain hem

  • Cuffed (1.5 inches or less)

  • Cuffed (more than 1.5 inches)

  • No preference, as long as the proportions work
