Was looking at that cardigan online. How did you size it? Seems to run a bit big.

For sure runs big, I am 6'1" 175lbs. and went with a Medium. Sleeves are a tad short for my liking, but like that long sleeves hang out a couple mm. Probably won't rock it with Ts like in the pic posted but will share another pic this weekend. The Large definitely had longer sleeves, but felt really boxy and had wayyy too much room in the torso IMO. Overall its a heavy knit that will take a while to break in, but I love it.

Anyone have experience with either of these jackets? Thoughts? Looking into getting one but sometimes find RRL sizing to be inconsistent.

TTS? Are the images accurate to the color?
The type 2 style pic is kind of funky. The contrast stitching is kind of enhanced but otherwise the color is reasonably accurate.
The Lee style one is accurate.
Sleeves of the Lee style are a bit long. It’s also not slim fitting as might be expected but fine for layering over a shirt and overshirt as one does.
Type 2 sleeve length is better for me. Shorter in the body too.

Just taking a look at RRL on ebay... yeeeesh, what a trainwreck.

Post-2020, RRL on ebay is dominated by resellers asking ridiculous sums for the most mediocre (used no less!) items the brand produced. A real time capsule of retreads and some of the most egregious unpredictable sizing.

Used to was, you could find selvedge chambray workshirts for $50. Now it's a (cotton - always the worst) shawl collar cardigan for $732.63.

Having bought (and later sold) hundreds of RRL items on ebay over the past decade, this is my retirement speech. Where's my gold watch vintage saint christopher medal give it to me I want it.

The fit on this shirt is weird. It has a box hem and fits really short. Is it supposed to be worn unbuttoned over a tee, like an overshirt? By comparison, the other madras short sleeve shirt from this season fits normal.

Indigo Plaid Woven Camp Shirt

I like it. It has those waist patch pockets so I think the shorter length is to be expected.
