The Official RRL Thread

[Rob_Roy]

I don’t think I’ve ever owned a RRL piece that I’ve had to re-sew on at least one button. Why oh why can’t RRL get that right?

I really like those denim sawtooth western shirts. Favourite shirts atm

I'm wondering if you should size down?

Yeah, if I wanted to wear it as a traditional slim-fit Western shirt I would definitely size down to medium, but as a suede overshirt I like the way the large works. While medium is typically my RRL size, since I'm 6'3" I sometimes go with a large to get sufficient length.

I wonder what would have happened if you tried to exchange.

I agree, I actually really like it as an overshirt. That fit is really good. We're almost the same height and I also straddle the M/L divide.

Ha, that's the $1,300 question!

Wait, you’re the guy who got the aforementioned infamous $1,864 off version of this shirt??

Yep, as far as I know I'm the only one who got that deal. It's an amazing shirt and it's great to see you rockin' it as Ralph intended!

Same here. They're sewn on by machine, and it's not a very reliable type of stitch. Sewing them on by hand is much better, but I imagine that would be too costly.

For what a lot of this stuff costs, they had better be doing it the correct and costly way.

I know, you'd think for these prices. But handwork of any sort is through the roof expensive. Just look at the prices for the hand-knit sweaters vs. the machine knit ones.

Thought I'd share this old gem from 2010. It's raw denim, very lightweight - I'm guessing about 6-7oz.; just barely heavier than chambray. And selvedge on both sides of the placket. And no deco stitch on the pockets.

Those were the selvedge everything everywhere era

Now I'm not so sure about this. I recently received this shirt from the new releases, and the buttons are sewn on by hand, so they do it on some shirts for some reason.
