The Official RRL Thread

not rrl but would work

The unofficial NMWA Buy/Sell Thread (a.k.a. second chance thread)

My last and probably favorite looking Inis Meain piece unfortunately (gained too much weight, held off selling it for the longest time). Worn once, cashmere/merino F/W High V knitted jacket in size L. It’s a charcoal warp(?) and beautiful burgundy weft(inside, does denim terminology work...

Also, wanted to add for whomever was interested in the Filson jacket and the PRL green jacket that was just posted.

The Filson beartooth jacket that is similar to this jacket is of a similar price point but much higher quality, the cotton is much heavier duty however the fit is not very flattering. On me, Size Large fits my shoulders and sleeves perfectly but very baggy and Medium is much too short in the sleeves. Typical filson sizing for me.

This PRL piece fits much better for me but the cotton and lining are much cheaper feeling. However I love the pattern and the vibrant green color so I sold the Filson off and kept this one. Its a much lighter piece though which can be a good thing. I wouldnt dare dying it with black dye though. :O

I love Filson and own a bunch. I ordered the Beartooth jacket as I love green in general...ended up returning it as the pattern (checkered flagish) was a little too much for me and I have a black/offwhite RRL "buffalo check" already. In my opinion, the filson is more of a jacket, this polo is more of a heavy shirt/shacket and similar to the heavier jacquard RRL shirts I own and love.

In most of his pics it is a "gold" Seiko Prospex diver...definitely plated for a gold look vs. real gold. Love Seiko Prospex line..."gold" wouldn't be my first pick as I love stainless steel, but looks cool. Not sure what he is wearing in the video though as the camera moves fast.

Definitely not a fake Rolex.

good eye. i will withdraw my criticism about the watch
I still rock my misaligned skx007 on occasion, only watch nerds love it.

The lighting is too low in the photos of you wearing the overdyed shirt, but the photo of it on the leather chair looks pretty cool. I've done a similar thing with washed out blue chambray shirts by "tea-staining" them (I use RIT Tan instead of real tea), and it gives them a great ancient look.

Actually, the pics in the hall are more representative of the color in the flesh vs. on the couch/under the fluorescent lights in my office. I took another pic and messed w/ the brightness/settings/etc. This is better, but still not quite as muted as it is in real life. Anyway, very happy with how it ended up.

Looks great. I don't own any Vintage fit myself, but I thought they would have a wider leg opening than that.
If you go ahead with it, you might be the first one here to cut off the bucklebacks. Or you can remove them and reattach them lower down. Post a photo if you do either. Oh no, not that topic again! I'll stop, I promise!

I guess I´ll take them to the Tailor and see what he can do, the straps have a rivet on each side that are going to leave holes so a repair is going to be needed even if they are covered by the belt (to prevent fraying). I report back on what I do.

Not to post anymore filson, but since we are on the green train, I got this recently as well:

Not the best fit on this guy, but its absolutely lovely dark green/black in person.

Really tempted to get this, another variation of the classic filson, but i dont need so many filson wool shirts in my collection. No more filson posting for awhile.

Be brave and historic! Cut them and leave the sewn and riveted bits!

Fall 2015. If they bring this back, it'll be a big problem.

Oofff that is a nice one
