The Official RRL Thread

im waiting on this guy from the promo. im 6”2...you think it will be too short?

went with a large cause medium p2p had slim fit large measurement (usually around 44”)

I actually don't have this season's jacket. I used it just as an example since it seems to have the same shape as the wool shirt jacket. This season's jacket is a good looking jacket so hopefully it works out for you.

Bronson prisoner / French navy wear - it took forever to come, but I’m happy with it - a nice hand, and only $25 a shirt ? all large.

Very similar, and I have no beef with either.

ticket scalpers and RRL bulk buyers are next up on the rung from hurricane opportunists who themselves are next up on the rung from Oxy dealers who are just one rung north of child molesters. Deal with it.

Still waiting for more info on the patchwork coat to see if I can afford to buy it after selling my children

Let’s not forget the people at RL who enable this behavior. Either by shady back door deals at stores, ****** web programming, or oblivious corporate security.

Exactly. And somehow being against taking advantage of a particular market makes us “privileged.”

Now I'm getting confused. I made a tongue-in-cheek remark earlier but no one's forcing us to buy this stuff. I like a deal as well as the next guy and have often waited and tried to weasel a deal, often in vain, but as gets pointed out here pretty often there are other brands that emulate the panache of RRL pretty well for a lot less money. On the other hand I may be not quite with it. Had surgery a couple weeks ago and feel feverish.

This conversation could be happening on a watch forum...just replace RRL with Rolex.

SA's who offload lots of discounted merch to resellers for kickbacks. My buddy used to do this with someone who ordered sunglasses for C21. He would get shades that retailed for $600 (that C21 would sell for $300) for like $50/pair in bulk, then flip them on ebay for $150 or so and give some kickbacks to the SA.

Shady as hell but I got a pair of Persols for $50 when I was poor so I guess I'm part of the problem.

Hope there aren't any references to capitalism coming.?

Don’t get me wrong. It would be different if clothing scalpers added some measure of value to a transaction but they do not. They actually offer “dis-value” by vacuuming up items at the retailers discounted price and adding a mark up. This is not a service in any way shape or form.

Yes

I just have a hard time getting worked up over it. Maybe I've just never wanted a particular, specific item so badly that I get mad if it's not available.
