I've only ever worn RRL straights. Are the slims that much smaller all around? At these prices I'm curious to try the black-on-black or bootcut, but I can't handle the way tight jeans feel anymore (even though I'm a beanpole).

FYI, about three months ago the RL website changed the sizing charts on all their pants and jeans from plus-2 vanity sizing to plus-4. As we all know, the actual sizing is vanity plus-2, and there's been some discussion here about the website info being incorrect. A couple months ago I sent an email to RL customer assistance telling them this is incorrect and it will confuse customers and cause rampant returns. An RL "Stylist" replied thanking me for my input and told me they will alert the Product Development and E-Commerce teams so they can make corrections to accurately describe their products. After about six weeks and no changes made, I wrote to them a second time on Nov. 5. Again, an RL "stylist" wrote back to me and thanked me and said the same thing the first one said.

I also pointed out that the descriptions for all their jeans say "inserted belt loops for added durability", but none of the RRL jeans has inserted belt loops, as you can plainly see in their product photos. (I personally don't like inserted belt loops anyway because they make the waistband a little lumpy. But that's beside the point.)

As of today, they still haven't made the corrections. I can't believe a company of that caliber would have totally wrong info in their product descriptions. I wonder if they'll ever change it.
Their phone app is kind of atrocious lol unbecoming of the brand(s) imo

So does anybody have the RRL HBT fatigue pants and can compare to the orSlow Regular fit fatigues? Which one do you prefer better? Why?
